The RIAA equalizer uses no negative feedback; its first stage is four FETs in parallel for low noise, followed by hand-selected transistors, and it is laid out as an unbalanced circuit for simplicity. Moving-coil cartridges are handled not by extra gain stages but by step-up transformers, four of them, with newly developed super permalloy cores and independent high and low impedance windings for each channel. Gain is 38 dB for MM, 57 dB for high-output MC and 66 dB for low-output MC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eLoading is unusually complete. A six-position rotary on the front panel sets the MC load at 4.7, 10, 40, 100 or 300 Ω or 1 kΩ, so the owner can hear the effect in real time; MM impedance (34, 47, 56 or 100 kΩ) and capacitance are set by rear switches. One of the three inputs is a balanced XLR pair that takes the differential signal from a moving-coil cartridge directly, which improves separation and rejects noise picked up by the tonearm cable; the two RCA inputs serve a second deck or arm. Outputs are RCA and XLR, with a front-panel phase-invert switch for the balanced pair. An articulator demagnetizes the cartridge and the transformer cores using the record's own signal current, and there are mono and low-cut switches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe power supply uses three O-I transformers, one per channel and one for the indicator and relay circuits, with large block capacitors. Ground is handled by what Luxman calls a petal-shaped grounding structure of radial plates, with a gold-plated brass ground post for each input plus a frame ground. Two stacked copper plates under the chassis add mass and shielding, the internal wiring is unplated OFC with spiral-wrap shielding, and the unit rests on \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/luxman-story#tech-luxman-chassis\"\u003edensity-gradient cast-iron feet\u003c\/a\u003e. The chassis is 92 mm tall, matching the NT-07, and 440 mm wide like the rest of the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eHerb Reichert reviewed the E-07 for Stereophile in February 2026 and wrote that it \"presented each cartridge and vinyl disc in its best possible light\".

The PZ-11 of 1962 was Japan's first germanium-transistor phono equalizer, and the E-07 of the centennial year is the latest in a line that still raises moving-coil signals through Luxman's own transformers. \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/luxman-story\"\u003eRead the Luxman story →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eKey technologies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 20px;padding-left:18px\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNon-feedback RIAA stage.\u003c\/strong\u003e Four parallel FETs at the input, selected transistors after, no global negative feedback.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/pages\/luxman-story#tech-luxman-phono\"\u003eSuper permalloy step-up transformers\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e Four transformers with independent high and low impedance windings per channel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBalanced MC input.\u003c\/strong\u003e An XLR input takes the differential cartridge signal directly for better separation and noise rejection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSix-position MC loading.\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.7 Ω to 1 kΩ on a front-panel rotary;
