Luxman L-550AX


I saw that there is a new release in the Japan and now US market of the integrated class A Luxman L-550.

Anyone knows whether, apart from the specs., is there any sonic difference between the old L-550AII and the new model L-550AX?.

Thanks.

Steve,

thanks a lot for sharing your experience. My main interest in the 550AII version is that it is much cheaper than the 550AX here in Europe. You are lucky with prices in US, here in Europe taxes make these imports almost no affordable.

Several questions to you:
1) Have you tried the headphone output with sensitive (<100 Ohms) headphones?. This is important to me, cause I used often a Grado RS1 and JH13s.

2) On a rack, what's a prudent vertical separation to avoid heating issues?. If touched the upper part, one get 'burned' quickly?.

Thanks.
