Refurbished by the previous owner.
This is his description of the work. I must say it sounds awesome and I love it, but I found a Berning amp to match my preamp so I need to make some cash for it.
I already posted it in Audiogon as I am in a rush. 100$ less here on AC.
400.00 plus shipping.previous owner description:
Beautiful to look and listen to. Luxman M-02. Manual and other literature on CD-ROM.Cosmetically, this amp is in very fine condition with only minimal signs of use. The only notable cosmetic issues are some light scratches and discoloration of the rear panel and a small nick on the top edge of the front panel above the left power meter.….see photos. Additionally, the case has been newly epoxy powder coated a matt black with a subtle stippled texture…it is very clean looking. The original speaker binding posts have been upgraded with modern posts, the RCA input jacks have been replace with high quality gold plated jacks, and the power cord has been replaced with an IEC outlet and removable IEC chord.Electronically, the amp has been fully re-furbished by the previous owner as follows: the meter lamps have been replaced with green LEDs, all electrolytic capacitors in the audio circuits have been replaced with new, using audio grade in critical locations. The power supply smoothing capacitors have been upgraded from 15,000uF per channel to 22,000uF Panasonic THAs. All mica disc capacitors have been replaced with silver micas. All gumdrops have been replaced with polypropylene audio capacitors. Critical carbon resistors have been replaced with lower noise metal films. All transistors have been checked and replaced where necessary. All soldering and PCB traces have been cleaned, inspected and repaired where necessary. Input and attenuator signal wires have been replaced with Teflon insulated, silver plated copper wires. Finally, the amp has been re-biased, and the power meters calibrated to factory spec. This amp is as near to new as it can be made, and is in beautiful condition.
