Condition Description

Specifications

  • Brand: LUXKIT (Luxman)
  • Model: A3500
  • Type: Stereo Power Amplifier
  • Compatible Output Tubes: 6CA7 / EL34, 6L6GC
  • Power Output:
    • 6CA7 / EL34 (Pentode): 40W + 40W
    • 6CA7 / EL34 (Triode): 20W + 20W
    • 6L6GC (Beam Tetrode): 40W + 40W

Although the A3500 is classified as a stereo power amplifier, it is equipped with rear-panel input attenuators, allowing it to be used as a standalone amplifier without a separate preamplifier in some setups.

Please note that it does not include a phono equalizer (phono stage).

Tube Configuration

  • 6AQ8 Γ— 3
  • EL34 Γ— 4 (Push-Pull configuration)

The amplifier is fitted with Electro-Harmonix EL34 output tubes (Made in Russia).

The 6AQ8 tubes are manufactured by Matsushita (Panasonic). Luxman was well known for its use of these tubes, and they continued to use them in many later products.

Modifications & Maintenance

  • The original oil capacitors have been replaced with metallized polyester film capacitors manufactured by Nissei and Toshin Kogyo.
  • These capacitors have been used successfully in many of my repair and restoration projects over the years.
  • The electrolytic capacitors, including those in the power supply section, have been replaced primarily with Nichicon capacitors.
  • The bias circuit has been partially modified to allow a wider adjustment range, and it is currently set to approximately -50V.

Important

Tube rolling (changing vacuum tubes) is entirely at the buyer's own risk.

The bias adjustment method on the A3500 is somewhat unique. If you plan to experiment with different output tubes, this amplifier is best suited for buyers who are familiar with vacuum tube amplifier maintenance and bias adjustment.

  • Voltage Information

    Most of the electrical products we handle are designed for use in Japan and operate on 100V, 50/60Hz.

    If you are purchasing from outside Japan, please be sure to use a proper step-down transformer that matches your local voltage
    (typically 110–120V in North America and 220–240V in Europe and other regions).

    Using the product without the correct transformer may cause malfunction or damage, and we cannot be held responsible for such issues.
