Any real experiences with a Luxman C900u and C10x?


I'm in the market for a new preamp and have the M10x and am leaning to the Luxman C900u or C10x.  There aren't many dealers around me that have both for me to try and there doesn't seem to be much info on both online (i may not be looking in the right places smiley )

@polyrhythm9 exactly, I like the Luxman sound smiley

@markusthenaimnut i hear you, some folks try to hard to push their ‘sound’. Experimenting as you say is part of the joinery which should be enjoyed. 

@celtic66 good to hear. I took the plunge and ordered a c900u to power an m-10x for my ATC50 PSL’s.

Ok. My opinion differs a little. I think the M10x/C10X smokes the 509X. I was never impressed with the Luxman integrateds. I had the 509AXII and it was a failed experiment, unfortunately!

I'm not sure why the Luxman has received lukewarm praise. I would go for the C10X. You would have a 'state-of-the-art' system for many years to come. I wish I had gone in that direction, but my wife loves the blue meters.

Best and good luck!
