I'd love to audition one but my local dealer doesn't carry Luxman---I'd have to drive quite a ways to try one. I'd prefer not to pay $$$ for an amp that's just splitting hairs in my amp and the new 505z. But moving to the 507z might just do it. But here's the thing---I don't normally play my music 'loud' just mostly late night, low level listening. Will I hear a difference then?? But I do love the new aesthetics. :)
Luxman 505z
I haven't seen any reviews of the 505z on AG yet. I've read great things about the 507z and the 509z with regards to their new LIFES circuitry etc. They also have upgraded phono stages. I think Darko had requested one to review but he hasn't posted it yet. I have a 505uxii so I'm wondering if the 505z would be worth upgrading to. Has anyone here heard the 505z yet?

@mksun I agree with the new LED volume display--looks really nice. I believe they changed the color of the VU meters to white from blue (505uxii). I love the ambiance of the blue meters for late night sessions. I plan to go to Axpona in April---maybe Luxman will be there. |
@jbhiller Wow!! I'm sure you're going to enjoy the 590axii. I'm hoping to go to Axpona next year and check out more Luxman. I still haven't seen any good proper review of the 505z yet. I'm enjoying my D-03x CDP/DAC as well. Luxman makes excellent equipment. Cheers! |
