New Luxman 507Z

MusicDirect has communicated that the new Luxman 507Z will retail for $8995. The  prior model, the 507uXII was $6495. I appreciate that Covid has driven up the price of goods coming from Asia (cost of containers) and that inflation may have some impact but this is pretty steep.

Does anyone know if there are significant technical or feature improvements to justify a nearly 40% price increase?

Prices are going up on everything. This past week a Delmonico steak cost me $30. Can't imagine what it would cost at a Restaurant.

Oh no.  Luxman has become Accuphase.

In theory it seems like Luxman’s rendition of Hegel’s Sound Engine. Hopefully it’s done correctly.

 

What do you mean by this. Are you implying that Luxman is copying or imitating Hegel.

Champagne gold vs silver

Warm, full, lush vs refined, delicate, detailed

Don't think so.
