Reports

• Test report in STEREOPLAY issue no.5 1988 Test result : Absolute top class

• Class A operation 50 watts into 8 ohms per channel.
• CD and Phono Straight function (direct switching)
• Design like Luxman L-525 with polished, shiny controls.
• Since the amplifier runs in pure, low-distortion (-free) Class A operation, the LS should not be too demanding.
• The L 560 can be unplugged with a switch on the rear panel, all RCA jacks are gold plated. CD and Phono Straight function is switchable on the front and is also visually indicated. LS controller is illuminated and the potentiometer of Alps.
• The workmanship is overall very good and high quality throughout. The design still pleases today and is probably timeless.
