I recently purchased a Luxman L-507ux and don't know how I could be more pleased. I did not want the class A amps because I was afraid of the heat as I use my amp with my tv and entertainment system as well as with my turntable and CD player. So it is used for a few hours every day.
The amp just sounds better and better the more I use it and it works so well with my TV, OPPO-105 DVD/CD player, Turntable cartridge set up and speakers. The better the source the better it sounds.
I was previously using a YBA Passion which I really liked but this Luxman sounds better to me in many ways. (At first it did not. For the first few days I used it I thought I had made a big mistake.) Now that I think it is broken in it is cleaner, quieter, has deeper and better controlled bass, is more dynamic, and a clearer mid-range. Voices are easier to understand. I really like this integrated amp! I also like the features and believe they are intelligently incorporated. I hope Luxman thrives here in the US as I believe they have a really good product. Now the only thing I am thinking about upgrading is my phono cartridge but the one I got sounds pretty good so I'm just enjoying things the way they are. I don't have any affiliation with Luxman I am just a very happy owner. I did not expect this Integrated Amplifier to be this good.
Associated equipment:
OPPO 105 DVD multi format player.
RPM turntable with SME 4.5i arm, Grado Signature Cartridge; Cardes Golden Cross Interconnect.
VMPS RM30 Series II speakers with all the latest upgrades.
Goertz speaker wire
Homemade Beldon cable interconnects.
