LUXMAN L509X VS M700/C700U

@ei001 
 I bought the CL -38uc. its very nice. 
DAC is not here yet. it will come tomorrow 
Currently I am running Triangle signature delta with M700u , CL 38uc, source is mac via Oppo HA-1 dac. 
I don't have power conditioner yet but I do have ifi plugged in my outlet. 
I am running Qobuz and tidal via audirvana. 
currently I have Anticables 3.0
Any suggestions?

Congrats on picking up the CL-38C. The unit sounds great out of the box but give it a few weeks for the tubes to burn in and it will sound even better. Down the road you may want to add a TT. The phono section is excellent w/4 step up transformers. Luxman Solid State understandably gets most of the press but the tube products are also very competitive. Now I don't feel so lonely at least someone else out there owns one of these preamps. Enjoy the music.

Greetings, interesting reading above for sure. Here is my current mini-system: MacBook Pro to D-N150 cd/DAC to SQ-N10 tube to Heritage lll. Sounds great to my old ears and looks even better; looks like the components were made by the same company, that Apple made Luxman or Luxman made Apple—same size, same finish, same amazing workmanship. Have larger Luxman, McIntosh, etc pieces, but the above three win on charm alone.

Excellent mini system. Luxman makes all their gear in house in Japan.

OP - any updates on the 38/700-combo?
