4040 C Jubilee Edition

With the 4040 C Lua started its successful introduction
of tube amplifiers into the market a couple
of years ago. We have maintained a commitment to
designing simple, straight- forward circuit for our
4040 C. The 4040 C elevates the philosophy from
the circuit level to the system level by eliminating
the preamplifier altogether and incorporating the
control functions on the amplifier chassis, hence the
term control amplifier. This approach completely
eliminates the inherent colorations of the active circuitry
embodied in a preamplifier stage, and of the
cabling between pre-amp and power-amp. The
result is a significant improvement in system performance
and convenience, combined with a reduction
in cost. The 4040 C uses matched pairs of
selected EL 34's for lowest distortion and delivers
more than 37W/sine per channel with less than 0.5 %
distortion/ 1kHz. This is outstanding in its price
class. The compact 4040 C makes minimal
demands on your living space and is equipped with
many fine components such as a matched ALPSpotentiometer
with less than 0,5 dB balance difference
between channels, metal oxide resistors with 1
% tolerance and the finest MKP 10 WIMA polypropylene
capacitors. Lua sets standards for parts
quality and the 4040C is no exception. The use of
these high quality components guarantees the full
realisation of the potential performance of the circuit
design from and many years of dependable use.
If you compare the 4040 C with a lot of solid state
amplifiers in same price class and you will agree
with our view that the 4040 C is one of the references
in its class. On not less than 4 occasions has the
4040 C been acclaimed in Germany and Poland as
best in the market with 2nd and 3rd prize for best
amplifier in its class.
