L-509u Ultimate Integrated Amplifier

   The L-509u features the new high quality electronic selector switch, which is the heart of the C-1000f pre-amp (one of Luxman’s 80th anniversary commemoration models). The sound quality deterioration using the new electronic input switch is now minimal, while channel separation and crosstalk efficiency were raised substantially in comparison with the previous L-550A / L-590A / L-507 /L-509SE. In addition the illuminated position indicator around the input selector knob, makes it much easier to view the selected position even from afar.

   The integrated amplifier also benefits from the volume control used in the CL-88 vacuum tube preamplifier. At any single volume setting only two resistors are in circuit per channel. The less devices in the signal path, the purer the sound, the cleaner the music.

   The amplifier section has not been ignored either; noise and distortion has been kept to a minimum with the introduction of ODNF version 2.2. The deep, rich, wonderfully textured tone is available here in Luxman’s most powerful integrated amplifier.
