Luxman L-509X


Any A'Gon readers from Japan listened to this new integrated? The specs and description seems like it could be an incredible piece. Though likely dependent on how good the pre-amp stage sounds. The amp section is supposed to be similar to the great sounding m700u stereo amp.

I auditioned a 509x a little over a month ago. It sounded good, no doubt. Great integrated. But it just didn't grab me or excite like the int. Had nothing to do with the quality of it's sound or build. It was more to do with it's sonic personality. As I mentioned in my post, I like the chocolate ice cream. You obviously like the vanilla. Nothing wrong with that.
I've heard the 509 right after hearing the D'Agostino Momentum.

While not a Momentum, it was not too shabby. Not shabby at all.
That price on AudioMart is absurd.  Those sell used for around 8K each. I got the C900 for $7500 and it was about 6 months old.  I can get them brand new for 10,500 each from multiple dealers. Do your homework people.

Wow! I thought the exact same thing when I viewed the ad.

@riaa... 
In what used marketplace do you find Luxman 900 gear for 8k? In what condition might they be, as well. 
Thx
