My Luxman Integrated has AC Inlet Envy
I have a chance I can do everything through the outlet hole. If possible, try turn the original C18 inlet 180° before you replace it, perhaps that can help the aftermarket plug stay in better since the two pins are on upper side. Hopefully you... 
Wattgate Connector Measurements
Did you compare the result of Wattgate, Connex and the stock Luxman plug into the Luxman C18 socket? Can the Wattgate plug in all the way? Is it possible to post this thread on DIYAudio site? images/drawings are more easy to upload without requir...

Great! @erik_squires 👍 Please let us know your progress. BTW, since you going to open the chassis of your Luxman, Would you do us a big favor to check the power transformer primary winding if there multi tap or not, so we can be sure the possibil... 
Q on connecting Benchmark DAC3HGC to AHB2
You will clearly see the slot (16mmx2mm) for spade connection on a black version of the same binding post.  
Q on connecting Benchmark DAC3HGC to AHB2
@audphile1  He'd figured out. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/benchmark-ahb2-amp-what-speaker-connectors-are-used  
Benchmark AHB2 amp - what speaker connectors are used….
you can turn the clear plastic nut counterclockwise to loosen it and insert the spade connector from the bottom of the binding post.   You also can use some spade to banana adapter to make connection easier.   Btw, Benchmark recommen... 
Zoomer needs help navigating 50's-80's Hi-Fi equipment
You can use the Kenwood KR-5600 as a platform to test almost everything you have. First thing to do is make sure the Kenwood receiver still in working condition. Then you can connect the cassette deck to its TAPE A or B IN/OUT to test if the cass...

I bought a cheap replacement inlet but it’s not yet in the Luxman. I just bought it to test fit my cables and it seems to do a lot better than what’s in the Luxman both electrically and mechanically. Seems like replace the inlet in your Luxman ... 
My Luxman Integrated has AC Inlet Envy
It seems many who reply are missing the part about SHORT CONTACT DISTANCE. The inlet on your L-507UX is a C18 (2 prongs), the pin height should be 12mm. A C14 inlet is 3 prongs, the two pins height are 12mm and the ground pin is 15mm. Have you... 
Zoomer needs help navigating 50's-80's Hi-Fi equipment
I am looking to set up a whole home audio system, but my primary goal is to play my records that have been collecting dust. Your listed items are enough to set up amplification for two systems. However, I didn’t see any loudspeakers in your lis...

Replace the inlet is the only solution. Use a 3 prongs and leave the ground pin unconnected. I could use superglue if I wanted, doesn’t make the metal to metal contact any better. @erik_squires The IEC LOCK+ is utilize a metal plate at an an... 
Dummy Speaker Load
Or you can try this.    https://www.amazon.com/Parts-Express-Non-Inductive-Dummy-Resistor/dp/B0002KRDGC They're quite inductive. I know, I tried them. He is not bench test amplifiers, that dummy resistor is good enough for his application...

I buy all locking AC power cords. @ditusa +1 @erik_squires, have you try it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUHOjCzW2mQ&t=5s

Boulder does it right no standard IEC. Another good AC connector is Neutrik powerCON, too bad no home HiFi use it.  
Dummy Speaker Load
It's not just breaking in the CD player, it's treating all the electronics and cabling. Moving the speakers and reversing polarity is not the best option for me.  So if all I need is a resistor like oddiofyl and carlsbad mention, then I'm good. ...
