Here is the amp that put Tim de Paravacini on the map.

The ultra rare Luxman M-6000. Tim says on stiff US mains it puts out between 360 and 380 watts per channel. It weighs 120 pounds and takes three days of warm up to bloom. There were only 12 sold in the UK, and Tim's not sure how many of them made it to the states. Its one my coolest vintage scores!

What is it about an amp taking three days to warm up? After 72 hours the thing goes totally organic.
