LUXMAN MQ-300 Stereo Power Amplifier Takatsuki TA-300B Tube

This is a single vacuum tube stereo power amplifier with 8W + 8W output, equipped with the TA-300B directly heated triode. It has a simple configuration of a voltage amplification block with two parallel connected 6SN7GTBs and a single 300B power block connected with Luxman's original oil capacitor, and by making the whole unit non-feedback, it achieves a natural and musical tone that makes the most of the characteristics of the 300B rather than numerically high output or high-fidelity performance. It also features a top panel made of 12mm thick aluminum material, large gradation cast iron insulator legs that support the entire chassis, a large-capacity output transformer made of Orient core material with a design reminiscent of the old OY transformer, and a choke coil made of Finemet core material. ■Continuous output: 8W+8W (4, 8, 16Ω)
