Luxman L 505 U Integrated Amplifier

Nice amp, I own ints predecessor, the L-505f and I can highly recommend it. I still wouldn't buy any foreign version that requires a power converter due to possible sound deterioration. If you don't think that's an issue, Luxman amps usually don't give you any technical problems during the warranty period.

Can't comment on the differences to the MA6500 but I would be interested to read about it. From what I've heard the MA6500 is not the McIntosh integrated to go for. It also doesn't have a balanced input, in case you plan to connect a source by XLR. The L-505u does have at least one.

Agree with previous responses. Buy here or Canada. Also, I've listened to all of the MAC gear at Magnolia HiFi and must say.....I just don't get it. For that kind of money....very curious. Stick with the Luxman, I've owned several of their pieces and never been disappointed.

HI
Thanks to all. I just spoke to the people from HIGHER TONE
Distributor for USA. LUXMAN Doesn't make L505U for USA
market-120V. Even if I buy here I would need power converter
Is there any problem if I use transformer.
I would really appreciate any knowledge about this.
Again thanks much

I just checked the website it certainly looks like the 505U is on their website, and I think it sells for $3,500.00 US which isn't much more than what you would pay to import it and add a step up transformer.

I mixed this amp in with an Ax7e and an ARC Vsi-55. Both were better than the Luxman to my ears and system. I think you can do better at this price point. Get into the better Luxman gear and all bets are off.
