About the E250

The Luxman E-250 is a phono amplifier that inherits design excellence from its predecessor, the E-200. It features a step-up transformer with a two-stage gain selection function using a left/right independent super permalloy core, supporting low impedance MC cartridges for rich and expressive musicality. The rear panel includes load impedance selectors (34kΩ, 47kΩ, 56kΩ, 100kΩ) and load capacity selectors (0pF, 100pF, 220pF, 320pF) to optimize cartridge matching. The power supply uses a newly developed low-profile, large-capacity block capacitor and a discrete regulator circuit, along with Luxman's original round pattern board for smooth signal transmission. The NF type equalizer circuit employs custom parts and a high signal-to-noise ratio, with parallel-connected first-stage FETs to reduce noise. Additional features include a monaural switch for mono records, a low cut switch to remove low-frequency noise, and front panel input selection for two turntables or a twin-arm player. The E-250 delivers natural, detailed, warm, and expressive sound, conveying the musical information embedded in vinyl grooves with high fidelity.
