Luxman SQ-38
Little is documented about the Luxman SQ-38. The record is essentially empty. No specifications, design details or production dates have survived in the sources available to the Archive. All that can be said with confidence is that it is an integrated amplifier. The model number suggests it sat near the entry point of that series, but that is inference, not fact.
Period trade press from the late 1990s shows Luxman still marketing integrated amplifiers in the SQ-adjacent lineup. Audio (January 1999, p.18) carried listings for the L-505 at 70 watts per channel into 8 ohms, with switchable MM/MC phono inputs and XLR connections. No comparable listing for the SQ-38 appears in any of the indexed publications. Whether it predates that era by decades or was a short-lived regional model can't be known from the available documentation.
If you own an SQ-38 or have seen one in the flesh, the Archive would welcome the record. A photograph, a service manual or a rear panel would all help.
