Luxman A-357 (1995–96)
Documentation on the Luxman A-357 is thin, and most of what circulates online is fragmentary. Here is what the record shows. It is a stereo integrated amplifier produced in 1995-96, rated at 60 watts per channel into 8 ohms. It shared its owner's manual with the closely related A-377. Both were covered in a single 19-page booklet with connection diagrams and a description of a remote-control operation bus system.
The A-357 came out when Luxman gear was very popular with hi-fi enthusiasts, and 1990s Luxman products in general have an excellent reputation in that community. Past that, specific reception is mostly anecdotal. One owner on a Klipsch forum described pairing a mint A-357 with a Luxman D-375 CD player. Another, on a Russian classifieds listing, praised the unit's condition and sound. Asking prices are modest: roughly Rs 110,000 in a Sri Lankan listing, and 25,000 rubles on an Avito ad in Vladikavkaz.
The schematic is not readily available. A diyAudio member looking for one reported partial similarities with the Luxman A-321/A-331 schematics, then hit a dead end. That suggests service documentation for this model is scarce even among repair enthusiasts. There are also no published specs for frequency response, THD, or damping factor.
