question for Luxman L-590AX owners
snapoli, thanks. I've came to the same conclusion, although certainly nothing that I can prove. Mine's quiet enough that I can't hear it from a couple feet away, and certainly not when there's music playing. It still peeves me, because it's a rece... 
question for Luxman L-590AX owners
I'll add this post, for anyone that's interested. This afternoon I disconnected everything from the amp, my intent being to test it on another circuit. First, I took it downstairs and plugged it in there, mostly because it was on the way to where ... 
question for Luxman L-590AX owners
I know, kren, hard to keep everything straight, lol. I read about the DC line blocker a bit, sounds like a coin toss. If the transformer has an issue, it's not going to magically eliminate the problem. I'm not looking for Luxman to come clean on w...

Thanks, jjss49, I think I'll give that a try. 
question for Luxman L-590AX owners
I was the same, until a couple months ago. I'd like to have the newer AXII, even though I choke at the money, but a couple guys here say theirs have the same hum. I bought this amp used, it's immaculate, think it was $4300. Not sure what I'm going... 
question for Luxman L-590AX owners
Even though I used the same word, it's not really a buzz. It's a hum that I have to be within a foot to hear, and have nothing playing. Still bothers me though, the idea that it's not dead quiet. 
Does it annoy you when companies don't show the internals of electronics ?
To be fair, my initial remark was pretty flippant, lol. And my amp has photos of the internals on their website.

I refused to buy my last car until the dealer opened up the transmission so I could look inside......... 
question for Luxman L-590AX owners
I might have to live with it, I guess. I was considering buying the new AXMarkII, sounds like that would just be a very expensive crapshoot. I don't think it has a thing to do with any outside factor. I think it's the transformer. I can't hear min... 
question for Luxman L-590AX owners
Yuck it up, erik. Mine had zero buzzing as well, until about 2 months ago, lol.Btw, if anyone is interested in complete dead silence, all you need to do is email Luxman USA. Kind of a joke. 
Interesting development
Meant buyer, of course. Your further comments presuppose a bit of psychic ability, and therein lies the 'rub' in any transaction. Will the price go up or down, in the future? No one can really say. But, historically, inflation drives the prices of...

Marketing ploy....price gouging, gotta love it. In a free market, any item is worth what a seller will pay. Selling it for less, if you're in business, makes little sense. If you want to see true price gouging, go take a look at anything that's su...

That was superb, what a treat. 
question for Luxman L-590AX owners
Nothing here is about the L-509X, which is an entirely different piece. I own the L-590AX. There's no version that was ever called a MkI, throwing weird names in the mix won't help clarify anything. On a side note, I'm inclined to think that your ...

Wow, I'm an idiot, lol. Hadn't read that entire thread that twoleftears linked, just did look at everything, the last post on it was mine from two years ago, good grief.
