Luxman C-110 (1985–?)
The Luxman C-110 is a preamplifier that entered production in 1985. Documentation on this model is thin. No original pricing, production end date, or circuit-level details have survived in the sources available to the Archive. What the record does show is a straightforward, well-specified control amplifier from Luxman's mid-1980s lineup.
The C-110 takes phono (both MM and MC), CD, tuner, aux, and two tape inputs. Pre-out and record-out are both there. Phono stage sensitivity is listed at 2.5mV, and line-level sensitivity is 100mV. Rated frequency response is 20Hz-20kHz, THD is 0.005%, and signal-to-noise ratio is 90dB. It is a compact unit for a full-featured preamp of the era, at 430 x 86 x 328mm and 4.5kg.
Known specifications:
- Inputs: Phono MM/MC, CD, Tuner, Aux, Tape 1, Tape 2
- Outputs: Pre Out (250mV), Rec Out
- Frequency response: 20Hz – 20kHz
- THD: 0.005%
- Input sensitivity: 2.5mV (phono), 100mV (line)
- S/N ratio: 90dB

- Weight: 4.5kg
A lot is missing. There are no details on the phono stage's gain or loading options, no power consumption figure, and nothing on internal construction or component choices. The C-110 appears in period directories, but no dedicated reviews or owner documentation have surfaced. If you have a C-110 manual, brochure, or service notes, the Archive would welcome the record.
