The CL-38uC is modeled on the CL-35, released in 1970, and the MQ-88uC is modeled on the MQ-60, released in 1969. A classic front panel design should be functional, but also beautiful, achieved by careful selection of knobs and lever switches. Listeners can appreciate such traditional design features, with their nostalgic flavor, whilst enjoying these contemporary, high performance audio products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eLong life and reliable design\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach CL-38uC control amplifier and MQ-88uC power amplifier undergoes a final performance check after a 48 hour aging process following assembly.

The chassis has been expanded to a width of 440mm which is the standard size for current LUXMAN products. The internal chassis acts as an omnidirectional shielded metal enclosure. In order to prevent magnetic flux leakage and eliminate noise, the toroidal power transformer and choke transformer have integral shielded cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eElegant construction with SRPP circuitry\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CL-38uC's SRPP circuitry, used for the phono equalizer section, tone control section and amp section, ensures a flat frequency response and has other advantages, such as a low output impedance (300 ohm), low distortion and extended vacuum tube life. The elegant construction of such a control amplifier in a dedicated enclosure allows us ample space to mount a full complement of vacuum tubes inside, realizing clear and accurate musical expression and enviable sound quality which we feel will attract many music lovers and enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-6 col-sm-6 item_detail_6\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eNew features, balanced inputs and various controls\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CL-38uC’s balanced input terminals have dedicated transformers, improving integration with other high-end equipment.
