Going linear - The Luxman 507ux


No one panic, but I just picked up the last Luxman 507ux in the US. About 110w/ch with power meters. 😀

Ill compare them directly with my Class Ds at home.

Sitting her listening to Billie Holiday in 24 bit 192 flac on my system right now.  Luxman 507-uxii, Harbeth 30.1 speakers, MHDT orchid and some decent but not very expensive cables.  Streaming Hi Rez with Qobuz into the MHDT.  Controlling the system with Roon on my iPad Pro.  
No more cd’s just qobuz and vinyl (the Lux has a very nice MC stage).

My two cents as someone that has been into this maniacal hobby for maybe 30 years and has owned tube systems along the way that cost two or three times as much as this system - I feel no urge whatsoever to upgrade anytime soon, if ever.  For the music I listen to - vocal jazz, piano, acoustic rock, chamber music, strings in general it just fantastic.  The depth, the timbre, transparency, the bass when it’s part of the music,  all the audiophile words apply but it’s also a very musical system.
