All I can say is I love the sound of the 507ux and the complete lack of buzzing. :)
question for Luxman L-590AX owners
I own the subject amp, have had it for 3-4 years. I recently noticed a low hum or buzz coming from the amp itself (not the speakers), and would swear that it has been dead quiet up until now. You have to have your head right down beside it to hear it. I'd like to hear what other owners have to say. Are your amps completely quiet? Seems like I may have developed an issue. Thanks in advance, and Merry Christmas.

Here is another such product, about $150 : https://avahifi.com/products/humdinger-dc-line-blocker Of course, more expensive solutions are to use a balanced power transformer, which are themselves subject to mechanical hum without enhanced circuitry. :-) I do want to point out that yes, any lights with little wall warts, especially those with built in dimmers, may introduce DC. The best way to diagnose this is to turn off everything in the house except your amp and see if it goes away. Then start flipping breakers back on until the hum reappears. What happens is that these devices only take power from one side of the AC line, but not the other. This lack of symmetrical power draw causes DC to appear, and then the mechanical hum. Best, Erik |
