Luxman E-07: Celebrating 100 Years of Audio Excellence

Technically, the E-07 employs a first amplifier stage composed of four parallel-connected field-effect transistors (FETs) in an unbalanced configuration. This design significantly enhances sound quality by minimizing noise and ensuring maximum signal purity. Additionally, the pre-amplifier is equipped with Luxman’s triple transformer power supply system, dedicating one transformer per phono input. This setup, combined with an electrically-shielded and vibration-optimized aluminium housing, creates an ideal power environment that maintains signal integrity across all channels.

The E-07 stands out with its newly developed step-up transformer for MC cartridges, utilizing a super permalloy core that offers a high small-signal response. This transformer includes two independent units per channel and supports Low/High gain settings, enabling optimal performance based on the selected impedance group. The inclusion of balanced inputs allows for differential signal reception from MC cartridges without energy loss, enhancing stereo separation and image localization for a more immersive listening experience.

Priced at €6490, the Luxman E-07 phono pre-amplifier not only celebrates a century of innovation but also sets a new benchmark in phono amplification. Its combination of sophisticated circuitry, extensive adjustability, and robust build quality makes it a compelling choice for audiophiles seeking precision and excellence in their analog setups.
