Exceptional Audio Precision and Realism

The Luxman C10X redefines musical reproduction, offering a 15dB gain—an improvement over its predecessor, the C-900u, which featured 12dB gain. This enhanced gain enables the C10X to handle a wider range of input levels with stunning clarity and zero distortion. Immerse yourself in an expansive soundstage that breathes life into every note, filling your space with breathtaking realism and detail.

Cutting-Edge Control and Versatility

The C10X boasts a host of innovative features designed to provide complete control over your audio system:

  • LECUA-EX Attenuator System: This refined volume control system allows for precise adjustments in 0.5dB increments while eliminating sound quality degradation. It also supports left-right balance control (L: -6dB to R: -6dB) and output level adjustments for bi-amp configurations or specific listening preferences.
  • Input Offset Function: Align the levels of multiple input sources with adjustable settings (0 to -6dB), ensuring consistent playback quality across devices.
  • Output Mode Flexibility: Seamlessly switch between unbalanced, balanced, or bi-amp configurations to suit your setup.

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.

The Art of Musical Reproduction

The Luxman C10X represents the pinnacle of audio innovation and artistry. With its combination of cutting-edge technology, timeless design, and unparalleled performance, it stands as a testament to Luxman’s unwavering commitment to perfection in sound engineering.

For audiophiles seeking the ultimate listening experience, the Luxman C10X delivers a level of musicality and control that is simply unmatched. It is not just a preamplifier; it is a masterpiece in the art of sound.
