Looks great ! Probably sound good with the Harbeths too when the time comes.
Taken with a real camera instead of my phone this time. Sadly it’s not much of a difference anymore.I’m usually low maintenance but......more pics please?
Also impressions when possible.
We just cleaned them last weekend. They clean up really well with Resolve and a wet vac.
So far so good. I don't really have any good digital sources here right now so I'm trying to dial in the phono end of it.
First off, surprise, a Luxman L-507u running an expensive Ortofon LOMC sounds better than an HK Citation with an old Signet. And I also think part of the Citation's problem was that Signet cart..which also sounded kind of thin and tinny on the Luxman. But not as bad.
The phono stage is good. Its not as good as my Juicy Music tube one. And I do think I'll want to find my SUT. BUT... its listenable again. I can listen to records without being bummed that streaming over bluetooth sounds better.
Things aren't quiet dialed in but... close!
Its a joy to use. It just reeks of quality throughout. And its....so pretty.
My wife was unsure of it because she liked the Citation but she's ok with it now after seeing it.

That unit is way too beautiful to be locked away in a cabinet, I think the wife may warm up to it and let it come out and play more?
Nice get! I’m a big fan of Luxman stuff. Congratulations.
As far as sound quality... it sounds great. Smooth and transparent like Luxman has always been. I don’t have the best sources here at the moment but it’s doing wonders with what it’s being given. I’ve listened to music all morning, a good sign.
I do think the phono stage could really use my SUT ahead of it, but I’ve never really liked and active head amps. But it’s very good as is. I’m spoiled by what I had before the move. That juicy music phono stage with a SUT is something else.

Unearth that SUT, c'mon, you can do it!
Umm.... uh.....it’s....somewhere along the back wall. ..
Guitars, swivel-base furniture. What's not to like?
I think it's cool that you're getting to experience a pretty minimal living situation at the moment. Moving always makes me sort of hyperventilate, contending with all of my stuff. I like to think of myself as some kind of minimalist, or at least someone who wants to be, but moving always shows me how wrong I am about that.

This move was nuts. Accelerated to 4 days of packing instead of three weeks as originally planned thanks to the virus. Which is how everything got lost in the boxes. But we made it here. It helped that we already had this apartment pretty much sorted for furniture.
Mmm, I see, looks like you'll need a plan then.
Or just body surf over there and have your way with it, git 'er done! 🦸♂️
Yeah we just moved our bike ride to tomorrow and so....there goes the SUT...
Maybe tonight.
That Luxman would look fabulous on top of that similarly colored credenza.....just sayin'.
