That would be a downgrade for my taste. The internals and external build actually don't even look as nice as prior models. I heard they are cutting costs where they can while raising the price.
New Luxman 507Z
MusicDirect has communicated that the new Luxman 507Z will retail for $8995. The prior model, the 507uXII was $6495. I appreciate that Covid has driven up the price of goods coming from Asia (cost of containers) and that inflation may have some impact but this is pretty steep.
Does anyone know if there are significant technical or feature improvements to justify a nearly 40% price increase?
