Luxman CL-1000 Line/Phono Preamplifier


Just wondering if anyone has heard the new flagship Luxman CL-1000 full function tube preamplifier.
All opinions would be appreciated. Thanks!

It was just demo'd at Capitol Audiofest quite a few folks heard it there paired with their 300B amp which powered the new Devore Orangutan Reference speakers. To my ears one of the best sounds of the show and the preamp is drop dead gorgeous!
Thank you, jond. I appreciate your impressions. From what I read there is no remote control for transformer based attenuators/volume control.



My local dealer is expecting one in the near future. I have the Luxman CLU38-SE. Curious to see how it compares.
Hi luxmanc138 

My local dealer will not bring in the CL-1000 due to its lack of remote control.....he said it’s a deal breaker for most of his clients.....unfortunate indeed!
I did not know that there's no remote. Interesting. My 38 is limited to just volume and mute. I think Shindo doesn't provide a remote either. At 20K there will be limited interest.
