Luxman and McIntosh are my bucket list amps. One of the best systems I've ever heard was in the mid 70s, with the mighty Klipschorns driven by the Luxman Laboratory Reference Series. As for loudness, all classic Japanese gear in the 70s had it, but, like tone controls, it became looked down upon by the snooty, snooby "golden ears". I won't buy an amp without tone controls, but I can live without loudness. Also, some loudness circuits only boosted the bas, while others boosted both bass and treble

I’m surprised nobody mentioned that the Luxman L-595 is internally identical to the Luxman L-590 AxII. Exact same specs, exact same circuitry. Exact same sound if Steve’s description is accurate (I own a 590). Differences are the front panel, the unique and stunning volume knob design on the 595 and the 595’s lack of record out/monitor in jacks and the monitoring selector for those who want to record. And the missing VU meters. And the price: The L-590 AxII retails for $8995 USD while the L-595, as reported by Steve, is $11,995 USD. 33% higher. Ouch!! BTW the 590/595 puts out WAY more power than the specified 30 watts. Luxman specifies the power output available in pure Class A. Beyond that, the amp moves into Class A/B and was tested at 95 WPC into 8 ohms and 165 WPC into 4 ohms and is stable into loads as low as 1 ohm. Where’s my Apogee’s?

A lot of the stuff I have seen on eBay people talk about some sort of transformer that needs to go with it to convert it to the US power grid. Is that true? Do they make products that run off the US standard voltage without need for a converter?

Still got my Luxman HX Pro cassette deck I purchased in 1990. It was the shop demo unit and half price since the new version had just been released. Luxman products are built to last-in this case probably Alpine so parts shouldn’t be an issue when it comes to needing renovation.

I had a very good experience with Nakamichi Tape deck Dragon wich was the most expensive Deck ever produced I had it for 10 years after that it needed some servive.Visit the Nakamichi service center in Singapore and after 2 days the called me and told me they replaced some item because of wear and tear and to my surprise charged me nothing.I guess the high selling price included future service cost. Even today spareparts still available certain companies take service serious.

@@rolandlickert2904 Back in 1971 IIRC I purchased Olympus’s first full-frame SLR (the FTL). I had a slight accident with the lens and Olympus replaced it free of charge. They even paid the freight!

Liked the review, love the Luxman product but I just cannot afford it. You mentioned stage height, I have great height with my two Aegir's with the Freya S.

For a significant upgrade on the turntable, change out the stylus to a 2M Black. Much higher quality sonics. But you have to get the alignment (especially azimuth) correct or it's sonics won't come through.

All true, I lived with the 2M Black for a good while and it needs meticulous care and attention to accurate / precise set up, slight tail down found the sweet spot i found. If it isnt properly dialed in it sounds shrill, pinched, nothing special, but once nailed it is excellent, detailed - lovely, horns parp beautifully, everything sounds right and you will know what the fuss is about this great cart. I'm now firmly an Ortofon mc man, Cadenza Black with Fritz Gyger S re-tip which is fabulous but the 2M Black brought me there.
