Paul probably means 10x continuous power, not peak power. The 507z draws 86 watts at idle so using Paul’s math that would be about 860 watts for the transformer. Another recommendation I’ve also heard that you want at least 2x peak draw, so in that case the 507 has a peak consumption of 350 watts which means you’d need at least 700 watts for your converter. I don’t have any brand recommendations but power converters are not complicated devices, and everything is made in China anyway so I’d probably get a generic model off Amazon with 1000 watt+ rating just to ensure additional margin of error for exaggerated ratings. You can find them for less then $150 with your choice of Toroidal or El designs.
Luxman L-509Z Integrated Amplifier
Hi,
Does anyone know if it's possible to purchase a Luxman L-509Z US version directly in Japan ?
I'm asking because in US this amp costs 12,500 USD. In Japan it costs 7200.
So I'm thinking of just buying directly in Japan if they are able to sell me the US versions.
Thanks!
