The LV105 preamplifier has a Tube. Hybrid technology at Luxman means combining the sound of a tube with the power of a transistor.
This gives the listener a particularly warm and harmonious sound.
Then as now, this type of amplifier is offered in the high to high price segment.
At Christmas 1985, the specialist dealer gave me the LV105, Yamaha A1020 and Onkyo A-8017 as well as the Dynaudio Compound 3 speakers for listening comparison. Together with my SABA Professional 1300, the LV105 emerged as a purchase decision for me.
Before I put a surround system into operation, the LV105 controlled, among other things, the sound reinforcement of the DVD and video films. Equipped with the separate AV inputs on the front and back, I took advantage of the possibility of a direct connection between a video camera and a VCR or later a DVD recorder.
