Reports

• Review in Audio: "Via CD, the Luxman LV-102 gave singers adequate breathing room and cleanly delineated the musical action. The LV-102 clearly illuminated the arrangement of large orchestras, separating first violins from second violins just as cleanly as cellos from double basses. The sound was always warm and pleasing. The MM phono input performed on the same level. Here the Luxman's tendency towards a pleasing sound continued. Particularly positive were the well-balanced highs, which lacked any pepper, but hardly missed any details.
