Luxman amplifiers are about transparency, allowing you to get close to the moment the recording was done, being in the room with the musician, getting intimate with the effortless detail, especially micro-detail. Muscular when it needs to be, bringing the scale of instruments into focus. Tight bass, never forceful, just lively, bringing the launch of a sudden pressure wave of air as a drum is struck into your room as if you were present the day the recording was done.

Luxman offers a full range of solid state and tube amplifiers that will satisfy the most discerning audiophile’s requirements. The exciting news for 2022 is that Luxman has introduced two completely new amplifier models. These are the M-10X power amplifier and the L507Z integrated amplier.                                                                                                                                                Looking ahead to the 100^thanniversary of the company’s founding, Luxman has achieved a milestone with the development and recent introduction of its flagship stereo amplifier, the M-10X. The most important innovation of the M-10X is the realization of a new amplification feedback engine known as “LIFES“, which has been developed and refined by Luxman’s technical team. The new LIFES system is an all new implementation from every detail of the circuit layout to the selection of individual components which all contribute to a rich musicality full of vitality. The exquisite flagship model, the M-10X, will evoke the true depth of sound, marking the beginning of a new era for Luxman.

With the integration of sophistication and technical evolution, Luxman has also introduced its new generation of Z series integrated amplifiers. The L-507Z is the debut model heralding the new range of integrated amplifiers. Like the flagship M- 10X, the L-507Z features the newly developed LIFES amplification feedback engine. The new L-507Z combines advanced technology and sophisticated functionality.  It provides a dramatic development in musicality that goes far beyond its class.

The Luxman PD-151 Turntable. “ My goodness. Does this baby sing.” That’s what Ken Kessler said in his 2019 review of the PD-151. We whole heartedly agree and we also agree with the many other accolades he made in reference to the turntable. In fact, in our opinion, this is the best performing turntable we know of at this price point. The PD-151 does it all when it comes to sound. It provides a big, bold presentation with lifelike detail. Timing and bass reproduction is excellent. Speed stability is rock solid due to the new high performance brushless DC motor that the Luxman engineers created specifically for this turntable. The PD-151 also includes an excellent high precision tonearm which will accept a wide variety of cartridges. The PD-151 is a Hi Fi Art favourite. Highly recommended!

Luxman presently offers three all in one digital players. The D-10X, D03X and the D-380. All are superb products with the usual Luxman attention to engineering, top construction quality, aesthetics, and of course, top class sound. Luxman’s digital products sell at various price points which makes ownership possible for almost all audiophiles who would like to have a most musical Luxman digital front end.

Luxman’s flagship SACD/CD player, the D-10X builds on the brilliant heritage of the company’s acclaimed D-08u, adding more playback capabilities, the latest conversion technology, a new robustly reinforced drive mechanism and a refined analog output stage. The D-10X features the world premiere of the ROHM Semiconductor MUS-IC™ BD34301EKV digital-to-analog converter (as of May 2020). Well-grounded in fundamental principles and endowed with the most advanced mechanical, digital and analog technology, the LUXMAN D-10X opens the curtain on the ultimate soundstage.

The D-380 is a digital CD player that can also play music through the vacuum tube output and which bears the number ‘38’ – a number synonymous with the golden era of LUXMAN vacuum tube amplifiers. This player features a vacuum tube output consisting of a buffer circuit using ECC82 vacuum tubes and a dedicated transformer as well as an advanced digital circuit with a 32-bit compatible DAC and a jitter reduction IC. The D-380 is housed in a classical wooden case and enhances the enjoyment of listening to CDs for the many fans of music played through this mature music medium.

LUXMAN’s new D-03X combines traditional red-book CD playback with an advanced hi-res DAC circuit featuring MQA full decoding. The D-03X will reveal new subtleties in even the most familiar music. MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) is an award-winning British technology that delivers the sound of the original master recording. The player includes MQA technology, which enables you to play back MQA-CDs as well as MQA audio files up to 24-bit transferred via USB, optical and coaxial inputs. The USB input also supports PCM data up to 384 kHz/32-bit and DSD data up to 11.2 MHz while the optical and coaxial inputs accept PCM signals up to 192 kHz/24-bit.

Luxman offers four excellent preamplifiers to choose from. Two are solid state devices and two are tubed units. These are beautiful devices that combine Luxman’s world class design and impeccable construction the company is famous for.

The Luxman preamps are supremely musical devices that will captivate you each time you listen. Whatever model you choose, these are heirloom quality components that will provide you with a lifetime of listening joy!

The Luxman control amplifier models are C-900U, C-700U, CL-1000 and CL-38UC.

Luxman has two outstanding phono stages available. The EQ-500 is Luxman’s masterpiece phono equalizer amplifier. All stages of the EQ-500 are vacuum tube. It utilizes a no-feedback CR type amplification circuit. The excellent sound quality of the CR circuit, supported by linear characteristics, is a direct result of the quality and accuracy of the parts used. With the EQ-500, it is easy to optimize the cartridge load adjustment. There are 6 levels of load capacity selection combined with a continuosly variable impedance selection with values from 30 ohms to 100 kohms. In addition, there are 3 gain settings, unbalanced/balanced selection, phase invert, mono mode, low cut and high cut switches. All fine adjustment and switching functions are easily accessible on the front panel which also has stylish pointer type analog VU meters to monitor the output level. The EQ-500 will make it easy for you to optimize the performance of any cartridge so you can achieve the analog playback of your dreams.

The E-250 is the latest phono amplifier from LUXMAN, inheriting the best in design from its predecessor the E-200 that has been the reference model for compact phono equalizer amplifiers since it was released in 2008. The E-250 provides for a full range of switching of load impedance and load capacity according to cartridge requirements. The E-250 features a step-up transformer with a 2 stage gain selection function in which a L/R independent super permalloy core is used, thereby supporting even low impedance MC cartridges. This creates a rich and expressive musicality that is only possible by transformer boosting. The E-250 has also received a new power supply and regulation circuit to optimize the power environment for the phono amplification circuitry. As with the PD-151 turntable, we recommend the E-250 as an outstanding buy for a phono stage in this price category.

Luxman’s two DACs are the DA-250 and the DA-150. Both are superb products with the usual Luxman attention to engineering, top construction quality, aesthetics, and of course, top class sound.
