Luxman Taking a Different Direction


Luxman's parent company has decided to terminate the relationship with its current US distributor, On a Higher Note.  It will be interesting to see what they decide to do in terms pricing, distribution and promotion of the brand.  Clearly, they have their work cut out for them given the scattered past of this brand - especially in North America.

For those of you who don't know Philip O'Hanlon, the owner of On a Higher Note, he is an extremely "colorful" individual with a passion for music and high-fidelity equipment.  He represents many other lines so I am sure he is dealing with this quite well.  Nonetheless - he put 10 years into promoting Luxman in the states.

Late to the party.. I own Luxman D-06 SACD player. Bought it from Philip. Has transformed my listening habits. Magnificent. As good or better sonics as previously owned Esoteric comparable model with much stronger and supported  'confident'  tray. Silent smooth open/close. Won't break down as soon or often as Esoteric. Fits wonderfully in a mid/upper 5 figure system. Sonic splendor. I am thankful for the provided contact info in this thread.
Yes, the D-06 is great unit. I owned a D-06U for a couple of years and I was very pleased with it.  Have since upgraded to an Esoteric K-01X.
My dealer is picking up Luxman again. He had long waits for product to arrive for his customers. Some up to 6 months. Also there will be a drop in price on some of the higher end products. This looks like a positive move.
