Unmatched Engineering and Build Quality

The LIFES amplification feedback engine, originally introduced in the M-10X power amplifier, takes center stage in the C10X. This proprietary technology ensures rich, natural, and vibrant audio reproduction, delivering unmatched fidelity. The LIFES preamplifier circuit, combined with the LECUA-EX system, utilizes a fully balanced configuration that achieves precise, distortion-free operation.

Luxman’s dedication to craftsmanship is evident in the C10X’s elegant design:

• Striking Aesthetics: The three-dimensional slanted edges and meticulously machined aluminum chassis exude sophistication and strength, reflecting the C10X’s flagship status.
• Loop-Less Chassis Structure: By eliminating ground loops and isolating magnetic fields, this design ensures optimal signal purity.
• Vibration Control: Large, density gradient cast iron feet minimize internal and external vibrations, preserving the integrity of delicate audio signals.
