Ready to listen to and enjoy. No work required. This amplifier is being offered as part of trade-in inventory of a local high end amplifier manufacturer.The L-309's condition is accurately indicated by the pictures. It was not dolled up or detailed in any manner beforehand but cleared for operation. A 3 prong IEC power socket has been installed. Any questions, please write. ~~~~ C$750 - includes postage to Canadian and CONUS destinations ~~~~ These amplifiers seems to sell for over the $1k mark based on my research. The price offered for this unit is very reasonable. Packaging will be carefully done. For American buyers no customs duty will be incurred (sub USD$800 threshold) More photos can be sent your way through email directly. A review on the amp by some happy owner: http://www.classic-audio.com/luxman-l309-p-453.html Interesting reading on the front end utility of this amplifier: https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/multi-way/172806-flat-correct-stereo-system-116.html?#post2513026 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- About the L-309: Manufactured between September 1973 to 1975, this collectible luxurious Luxman L-309 is rare and sought after which followed the L-308 and inaugurated Luxman's staple Linear Equalizer. The Linear Equalizer in the Luxman L-309 is a 5-step up or down "tilt" to the preset RIAA curve, rotating the 1kHz-centered frequency response up or down to provide more bass and less treble or more treble and less bass. There is too much compression and standardization today to justify a Linear Equalizer, but given the highly variable response curve of the recordings back then, this was a useful feature. The regular tone controls are Luxman's other staple NF controls with selectable center frequency. The circuit is a fully-complementary DC power amp section with dual-rail power-supply and 3-stage DC EQ circuit for the phono - Single-Stage, Duo-beta, plus-X and Circuit /S were for later years. Compared to the original L-308, the Luxman L-309 has an added back pot to attenuate the Main in input level and L/R Mic inputs with pull-on/off level pot instead of the tape 1 I/O jacks of the L-308. Bar power output, the rest is the same : 2-position low cut, 2-position high cut, low boost, stereo/L/R/Mono (L+R)/Reverse, 3-position phono, 1 impedance selector, tuner input level pot and 2-way dubbing/monitoring.
