Any comments on the DH Labs Silver Sonic Glass Master Toslink cable?
Glad to hear it, hgeifman. I've only tried a tiny amount of gear that many here have, so I always hesitate about recommendations. That being said, I'm a fan of DH Labs, I think they put out a great product at a fair price. 
Going linear - The Luxman 507ux
I'm not jumping on board in any class wars, erik. I do think that if people want to see what any given manufacturer can do, it should be with their top of the line offering in that format, though.

Luxman Integrated - What do they sound like
jason, the delay when you first power up the unit is the protection circuit. Actually, they call it something else, but it's in the manual on page 1. 
Luxman Integrated - What do they sound like
Erik, it sounds very good immediately, and the best after 20-30 minutes, I'd say. 
Luxman Integrated - What do they sound like
valinar, go look at the link I posted in one of the first replies of the thread. My answer is based on measured performance of the amp. I’ve always wondered why Luxman wasn’t more forthcoming, it seems like they wanted only to focus on the class A...

None for me, two. 
Luxman Integrated - What do they sound like
I'm only clarifying what the amp actually puts out, pokey. Nor are all inefficient speakers the same. 
Luxman Integrated - What do they sound like
590AXII is 30W Class @ 8 ohms. Has the classic Class A sound with a nice midrange bloom. Just note it runs out of steam pretty quickly so a fairly efficient speaker is a must IMHO. The L-590AX is 30W/channel Class A into 8 ohms, then switches t...

yyz, I'd like to hear my amp with the Persona 3F's, too.  I have their now discontinued S6's, and love the combination.

I'll post this for your amusement, Erik. https://www.stereophile.com/content/luxman-b-1000f-monoblock-power-amplifier Obviously not what you're interested in purchasing, but perhaps a bit of insight into the company, what they're capable of, and s... 
Luxman Integrated - What do they sound like
erik, sounds like you’re getting some info, anyway. As to the Luxman sound (or the L-590AX, anyway), I’d have to agree with the description in the article I linked up above, wholeheartedly. I also want to add, there’s no such piece as a L509AX, th... 
Luxman Integrated - What do they sound like
Erik, I don't really ever hear anything to speak of, other than the occasional trip to the audio store. I've had a system running since my late teens, and when I put it together I was pretty proud of it. Pioneer late 70's receiver, etc. That Pione...
