| Luxman Integrated - What do they sound like erik, unfortunately for you, I'm not a guy that has had a lot of gear. I bought my amp blind, essentially, which obviously is far from ideal. That being said, I think it's stunning. The gentleman that owned it previously went thru a number of inte... | |
| Luxman Integrated - What do they sound like I own the L-590AX. I wouldn’t describe the sound as warm, but maybe it is compared to some other amps. I consider it fairly neutral, and very detailed across the range. http://www.navratilaudio.cz/novinky/Luxman_L590AXII_HFW.pdf | |
| Gryphon vs Luxman vs Accuphase freesole, I own the L-590AX, which is the previous version of the newer L-590AXII. It’s actually greginnh’s old amp, which I essentially lucked into. I absolutely love it, but haven’t heard either the MarkII, or the new 509. The newer MarkII serie... | |
| Gryphon vs Luxman vs Accuphase freesole, you might also give the new Luxman L-590AXII a listen, if you have the chance. Class A to 30W/channel, then A/B up to about 90W into 8ohms. | |
| Starting Over...Need help finding the perfect integrated to replace everything A used Luxman L-590AX should be right at the $4000 mark for a pristine example. No DAC, though. | |
| Paradigm Persona series Regarding the grill price, anything designed and manufactured in a multi-million dollar facility has to reflect that in the price. To do otherwise is unrealistic. | |
| Paradigm Persona series Audiotroy, thanks for your comment. In the past, I always left the system on on, 24/7. The L-590 is the first Class A amp I've ever owned, it gets fairly warm. Not hot, but pretty warm. I'm not comfortable leaving it on constantly. Am I worrying ... | |
| Paradigm Persona series Thanks. Without knowing more, I'd like the option of leaving the 509 on, 24/7, which I don't do the the 590. It's really a non-issue, and I love the 590. | |
| Paradigm Persona series greginnh303 posts12-31-2018 5:02am@brrgrr I have owned the Luxman L-590AX Class A integrated (not MK II). It is a wonderful, full featured integrated. I went on a huge trek to see what I could find to better that integrated. I tried Esoteric F05,... | |
| Dealing with a power amp that need 20A connection Jim, that looks great. When I built my shop, I used the pig-tail method on every outlet in the place, workshop, garage, and upstairs office. My thinking was that if I had an issue with an outlet, I wanted it confined to the one device, rather than... | |
| Dealing with a power amp that need 20A connection Jim, I'm curious to hear your thoughts on pig-tailed vs. daisy-chained wiring of outlets, if you have the time. Not necessarily per audio requirements, but in general. TIA | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Son of Dracula - Harry Nilsson probably last listened to it 40 years ago, wow | |
| To buy grounded or not to buy grounded. That is the question. The term I haven’t seen in this thread yet is "Double Insulated". In any power tool, you might see a typical three-prong plug, or only a two-prong plug. In the latter, the tool is often labeled as double-insulated, meaning that it has been designe... | |
| Paradigm Persona series In all the speaker threads I've read here (maybe not enough yet), I've never seen any mention of what I would think would be a very important factor. How good is the owner's hearing? I mean, it's not like our hearing remains constant throughout ou... |
