Luxman Integrated?

I have owned several Luxman integrated amps.  Great build quality and excellent value with many features built in.  Builder3 has my old amp!

I have moved up to food chain, but if I had to do it all over, the Luxman would have been my last integrated. 

It's now running a new turntable, too greg. Bought the new rig from MoFi, it's superb. Not the big money that some folks spend, but I'm impressed.

Nice write-up on the 550, Steve. Great photos, too. One thing I'll mention, and can't offer any first hand knowledge, but for whatever reason Luxman understates the power on these (or at least the L-590) and pretends that they're solely class A.  From tests I've seen, the L-590 actually puts out around 90W/channel @ 8ohms, contrary to the claimed 30W, presumably switching to AB at some point. I assume the L-550 is no different.

Luxman also makes an excellent all tube Integrated amp. The LX-380. Has the same retro Marantz 7 look. The built in phono is also all tube and very good. I purchased the CL38U-SE all tube preamp about 7 months ago. Best tube preamp I've ever owned.
