The Finishing Touch For My Luxman LXV-OT7 Clone

I am visiting this Luxman LXV-OT7 clone for the finishing touch.

From the time this amplifier project finished, some of the parts are using what I have left in my bin. This amplifier is working fine but just not perfect. So, after my imported components came last week, I start to open this amplifier again. Those components that need to replace are RCA female plugs and potentiometer.

The RCA plugs that I always using for my project is from CMC brand.

CMC is Charming Music Company, the USA manufacture that specialized in audio plugs. This plug is very high quality and affordable.

In the market right now, there lots of fakes CMC, so you need to make sure the supplier you order is having good credibility. Fakes parts will never deliver the same quality as the original.

The other component for finishing this amplifier is the potentiometer.

I already order ALPS RK27 for the replacement of the used standard quality potentiometer before. Unfortunately, the casing hole size is too small for this ALPS RK27 to fit. I don't want enlarging the casing hole to fit it in, and this plan is cancel.

I just install the PCB for the existing potentiometer.

This Luxman LXV-OT7 clone is now 100% complete.

This is a small amplifier that looking good inside out.

The sound quality is very musical which I can live with it.

What Mazda Bose Centerpoint Does to The Music?
