Luxman T-92
The Luxman T-92 is an FM/AM stereo tuner from the company's late-analog era. Documentation is thin. No production years or original price appear in any surviving record. The specifications that do exist point to a serious, high-performance FM section.
According to period database entries, the T-92 covers the full Japanese-market FM band of 76-108 MHz plus MW (522-1611 kHz), with an analog tuning scale and display. FM sensitivity is rated at 1.0µV (11.2dBf), stereo signal-to-noise at 75dB, stereo distortion at 0.05%, and selectivity at 80dB. Those figures put it in Luxman's upper-tier tuner lineup. Frequency response is specified at 30Hz - 15kHz with a 0.5V output. The IF is 10.7MHz for FM and 450kHz for AM.
A July 1992 advertisement in HiFI-Stereo (July 1992, p.91) listed the T-92 among the full line of Luxman models available for audition at an authorized dealer. That confirms it was still in distribution then.
A caution on specs. Dimensions (440 × 93 × 346mm) and weight (5.8kg) appear in some databases for the T-92, but those figures trace to the related T-90 model's page and are not independently confirmed for the T-92. Semiconductor counts (9 FET, 16 transistors, 22 diodes) carry the same caveat. They are left out here rather than passing along unverified data.
Known specifications:
- Type: FM/AM stereo tuner, analog tuning

- FM sensitivity: 1.0µV (11.2dBf)
- FM S/N (stereo): 75dB; MW: 55dB
- FM distortion (stereo): 0.05%; MW: 0.4%
- FM selectivity: 80dB; MW: 60dB
- Frequency response: 30Hz–15kHz
- Output: 0.5V
Surviving auction listings describe the T-92 as a "premium vintage tuner" and a "Hi-End FM/AM tuner" with "fine tuning," which fits the performance-oriented spec sheet. Beyond that, the record is quiet. No owner reviews, no service bulletins and no market price history have surfaced in the archives.
