question for Luxman L-590AX owners


I own the subject amp, have had it for 3-4 years. I recently noticed a low hum or buzz coming from the amp itself (not the speakers), and would swear that it has been dead quiet up until now. You have to have your head right down beside it to hear it. I'd like to hear what other owners have to say. Are your amps completely quiet? Seems like I may have developed an issue. Thanks in advance, and Merry Christmas.

snapoli, thanks. I've came to the same conclusion, although certainly nothing that I can prove. Mine's quiet enough that I can't hear it from a couple feet away, and certainly not when there's music playing. It still peeves me, because it's a recent thing with it.
Appreciate everyone's input, thanks.
My dealer and Luxman said that. My dealer emailed them and the chief engineer said because they are class A they buzz when in idle.


seriously? omg you have got to be kidding me

maybe they need to hire nelson pass on a contract engineering assignment LOL
No buzz with my L-590AXII. Something is wrong with the unit or the mains power supply if there's a buzzing sound from the amp.
From the posts on this thread and the other one linked to above it appears it is an issue that tends to develop after years.

I took a look at the Luxman class A release history to try to guess when the new versions of class A integrateds might be released, in hopes that perhaps this issue gets addressed. But if the issue goes back to past generations, who knows if having such hope for correction is even warranted??

Anyway, near as I can tell:

L590A was released in 2005
L590Aii was released in 2010
L590AX was released in 2013
L590AXii was released in 2016

Would seem that a new release should be soon if past is prologue, given that we are now into 2021.
