Yes most are EU. Ive emailed alot of them and they dont want to ship stateside. The one on Reverb looks beat to hell heh. It's why I asked here  
Are luxman integrated amps truly balanced?
Ya, Im pretty sure Luxman didnt go that far That article was amazing  
Are luxman integrated amps truly balanced?
NO worries !  
Are luxman integrated amps truly balanced?
Thanks for the article. The XLR is definitely louder than the RCA at the same volume level. The XLR output is 5.8volts the RCA is 2.9  
Are luxman integrated amps truly balanced?
I have some nice RCA cables coming next week. Nothing crazy expensive but on par with the XLR i have. So we shall see. In the mean time has anyone tried inline attentuators to lower voltage output  
Are luxman integrated amps truly balanced?
Shrug, I havent found it warm at all. Pretty dang neutral and clean. So maybe it's what it's being fed that matters. I'm using a holoaudio DAC.

I think a company called Rothwell makes inline attenuators. Like -10db etc. That would lower my DACs output to like 1.9volts...wonder if they change the sound at all.  
Are luxman integrated amps truly balanced?
Ya, I think thats beyond me hah. Ill just test SE and go with it, so long as the quality is still there. When i use the XLR connection from the DAC to AMP its 6DB louder than SE. Was my first clue that the Luxman wasnt truly balanced.

Ya I dont think Luxman has those transformers. Ill try with RCA and XLR see what sounds better. Do you guys think the 5.8Volts into XLR input is dangerous for the Luxman? Since it can handle 6volts?  
Are luxman integrated amps truly balanced?
This is why I was using the XLR cable as well. But the run is so short and Luxman seemed to think the DAC output was too close to the max input level of amp. So was considering switching to RCA to mitigate the issue. Just didnt want to lose sound ...

Thanks for the advice!  
Anybody heard the new Audiolab 9000CDT yet?
Im using an Audioquest connect not sure which atm heh. It's connected to a Holosprings 3 KTE DAC then from there to a Luxman L507z. It sounds very good to me so far. Ive only  had it for 3 days
