Luxman SQ-N150 Vacuum Tube Integrated Amplifier

Description

Luxman SQ-N150: Versatile Preamplifier with Audiophile Precision

The Luxman SQ-N150 is a high-performance preamplifier designed for exceptional versatility and sonic purity. With three line inputs and a built-in phono stage supporting both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges, this amplifier eliminates the need for an external MC preamp. The high-quality gold-plated RCA jacks are spaced at 18mm intervals, ensuring compatibility with premium high-end cables. To minimize crosstalk and maintain signal integrity, Luxman employs the same high-end input selector IC found in their flagship C-900u control amplifier. For an uncolored listening experience, the Line Straight mode allows users to bypass the bass, treble, and balance controls. Additionally, the dedicated headphone output provides an intimate listening experience, making it perfect for late-night sessions.

Premium Remote Control

The included aluminum-finished remote control provides seamless operation, allowing users to adjust volume effortlessly. It also offers compatibility with Luxman CD players, such as the matching Luxman D-N150 digital player, ensuring an integrated and intuitive user experience.

Elegant & Compact Design

Designed with precision and craftsmanship, the SQ-N150 features a 5mm thick aluminum chassis with a compact “A4” footprint—measuring just 210 x 297 mm (8-1/4 x 11-3/4 inches), excluding projecting parts. The blasted white finish contrasts beautifully with the refined hairline-textured aluminum controls. Adding to its timeless appeal, the warm orange LED backlighting of the analog level meters provides a striking visual counterpoint to the soft glow of the vacuum tubes, embodying both functionality and elegance.
