Cold Weather & USB Phono Preamps
Alright, it's cold now. <a href="http://wcbsfm.com/WCBS-FM-Airstaff---Mr--G/2073164">Mr. G says</a> the mercury will only creep up to around the 38- or 39-degree mark today. I guess it's to be expected. We <i>are</i> deep into November. New York City in the cold, with all of the wreaths and lights and scarves and frigid breath, is beautiful. For a moment or two, that is, until I remember how much I hate this weather. It's funny, too, how I forget how unbearable it can be in <a href="http://blog.stereophile.com/stephenmejias/102606window/">my apartment</a> this time of year. I don't know how I've lived through the last three winters in that old, drafty shack.

Luxman M-800A power amplifier
Founded in 1925, Luxman has long been one of Japan's most highly regarded audio manufacturers. Throughout the 1970s and into the 1980s, Luxman's tube preamplifiers and power amplifiers occupied the top shelves of high-performance audio retailers, and to many older American audiophiles, the Luxman name is as familiar and esteemed as those of such storied American brands as McIntosh and Marantz. Luxman's combination of rich, warm sound, superb build quality, and indelible industrial design made its products fully competitive with other brands then considered among the world's best.
