Overview

For sale is a beautiful Luxman L-480 Duo-Beta Integrated Amplifier, made in Japan and configured for U.S. 120V / 60Hz operation.

This is a highly desirable vintage Luxman integrated amplifier featuring the classic Duo-Beta circuit design, working LED output meters, MM/MC phono capability, tuner, aux, tape connections, pre-out/main-in connections with jumpers installed, and main/remote speaker outputs.

A major value-add: this unit includes the original Luxman L-480 factory box, original molded foam inserts, and protective plastic sleeve/bag shown in the photos. The original box shows normal age, tape, storage, and handling wear, but having the original factory packaging with a vintage Luxman integrated amplifier is increasingly uncommon and adds strong collector appeal.
