Vintage Luxman LV 105 Hybrid Tube Mosfet Integrated Amplifier. It is in perfect working order, needs nothing. Always been in temp controlled environment. I no longer have box or owners manual, they were accidentally thrown out 11 years ago. I no longer use this amp so I feel it’s time someone else should enjoy it. The Luxman LV-105 is rated to deliver up to 80 watts per channel into 8-ohm loads, from 20 to 20,000 Hz, with no more than 0.3 percent total harmonic distortion. The dynamic power output is given as 200 watts per channel into 4-ohm loads, and it is also rated for 200 watts with 2-ohm loads. Luxman calls its new LV-105 a “Brid” (hybrid) integrated audio/video amplifier because it uses vacuum tubes in combination with transistors, FET’s and MOSFET’s. Other amplifiers have been designed with various hybrid circuit configurations, but the Luxman Brid is a combination we had not previously encountered, its vacuum tubes follow the field-effect-transistor (FET) low-level stage and drive the power-MOSFET output stages. According to Luxman, the 6CG7 twin-triode tubes used in the LV-105 are more linear than conventional transistor driver stages, and they have greater bandwidth and lower phase shift. The LV-105 has two power supplies, the larger of which operates its audio transistor stages while the other supplies the voltages for the vacuum-tube stages. When the amplifier is turned off, the tubes go into a standby “pre-heating” mode in which their heaters operate on a reduced voltage (about 80 percent of normal) and their plate voltage is reduced by half. In addition to its complete audio control facilities, the LV-105 is designed to serve as a video control center. As many as three audio/video (A/V) sources “VCR’s or videodisc players (VDP’s) “can be connected at the same time, two in the rear and one in the front, though only two of them can be switched simultaneously. The audio control facilities of the LV-105 are extensive. There are inputs for a moving-magnet (mm) or moving-coil (mc) phono cartridge, a tuner, a CD player, and two tape decks as well as the two audio/video sources. All switching is done by pushbuttons, with the selected source identified by a light. There are independent recording source selectors, including switches for dubbing from either audio deck to the other and for video dubbing (from AV SOURCE 2 to AV 1 only) Other front-panel buttons individually activate the two sets of speaker outputs and select the mm or mc phono inputs and the front or rear AV 2 inputs. Small knobs operate the bass and treble tone controls and adjust channel balance. The rear apron of the LV-105 contains insulated binding posts for two sets of speaker outputs and six AC convenience outlets, three of them switched. The all-black LV-105 measures 17-1/4 inches wide, 13-5/8 inches deep, and 5-3/4 inches high.
