Luxman L-509Z Integrated Amplifier

Hi, 

 

Does anyone know if it's possible to purchase a Luxman L-509Z US version directly in Japan ? 

I'm asking because in US this amp costs 12,500 USD. In Japan it costs 7200. 

So I'm thinking of just buying directly in Japan if they are able to sell me the US versions. 

Thanks!

AJD25 1400w. It is expensive but heard very reliable. I have been testing it for 3 days now, the power output is 100.4V. I will hook up luxman today.

If you order from Japan, they will likely ship FedEx. Do call them ahead of time and fill out the CF form for importer compliance, otherwise package will not go through customs. They will send DocuSign form.

@saurabhgarg Hi, how is the transformer holding up so far ? Is it making any noise ? How do you like the 509Z ? I think I'm very close to buying one. Thanks.

Its presence is so transparent that I have forgotten about it. I keep it on all the time and it gets luke warm. No noise. 

I have a voltage measurement device, and when I was setting up I used it to check the voltage from transformer vs wall socket(s) . Reading was within 0.2v. 

So overall no issues..
