| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. New or used, my only point is that the Class A Luxman amps aren't nearly the low-powered pieces that the official specs indicate. I can't compare them to other brands, I don't have the broad experience with lots of other gear that so many others h... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Yeah, Luxman class A within your budget is $5.5k, 40 watt/ch/4ohm. If it is a very conservative figure - it might be enough for moderate level listening, I don’t know. Could be interesting to compare it to Luxman A/B, $4.5k. My wild guess - depend... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Contrary to Luxman’s published specs, the L-590AX puts out in excess of 90wpc into 8ohms, not 30. It’s not purely Class A, they seem to have fibbed a bit. Presumably, it’s Class A for the first 30W. It’s far from "low powered". The phono stage is ... | |
| Best used integrated for under $5000 By all accounts, Luxman’s new L-509X is also great. Probably not available used at your price for a bit, though. https://www.stereophile.com/content/luxman-l-509x-integrated-amplifier | |
| Best used integrated for under $5000 2nd the Luxman, other than I wouldn’t describe mine as "warm". L-590AX. There's certainly nothing muddled about it. Great on vocals, percussion, lot of detail, to me. | |
| Best vinyl purchases based on pressing, studio production, sound quality and enjoyment. knollbrent, great thread. I just bought the Eva Cassidy album a month ago. Not sure how many times I've played it since. A bunch. Unbelievable. | |
| MoFi Turntables The free-form amoeba plinth didn't help, either. :) I don't doubt that they're a good TT, though. | |
| MoFi Turntables gbryant, I've been looking at turntables for quite a while, and was considering something similar from VPI as well. Ultimately, I was put off by their business model, I never have been a fan of companies that tweak their product line so that they ... | |
| MoFi Turntables I've had the UltraDeck +M for several months now. I like it a lot. Lots of detail, dead quiet. | |
| Anyone heard the Luxman LX-380 tube integrated amp Not quite what you're asking about, but Art Dudley wrote an interesting review in September's Stereophile mag about the Luxman MQ-88uSE tube amp. His speakers were DeVore O/93's. He liked it a lot. | |
| 120v to 240v Adapter to power Amp in USA Find out what the amp actually requires, both voltage and frequency. We use 60hz here in the U.S., many European countries are 50hz, I believe. Then consult an electrician. Many of the responses here are guesses, and wrong ones at that. | |
| Luxman Integrated? Nice write-up on the 550, Steve. Great photos, too. One thing I'll mention, and can't offer any first hand knowledge, but for whatever reason Luxman understates the power on these (or at least the L-590) and pretends that they're solely class A. ... | |
| Luxman Integrated? It's now running a new turntable, too greg. Bought the new rig from MoFi, it's superb. Not the big money that some folks spend, but I'm impressed. | |
| Luxman Integrated? I own the Luxman L-590AX. Absolutely love it. | |
