Another vote for the Luxman L-590AX.
Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh
The "purist" approach is no longer viable for me due to recent hearing loss, and I'd also like to simplify my tube separates which consist of preamp, power supply, and pair of mono amps.
Budget up to 10K. But, of course, I also could just go with a Schiit Loki for $149 bux and keep feeding my tube gear. :) Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

arafiq501 posts02-18-2021 10:31am@builder3My Pioneer SX-750 dates to about 1978, and it has a Loudness switch, I don't have any idea how far back that goes, to be honest.Then you should be using the ’quietness’ control, silly wabbit. |
I’ll point out that the L-590AX, even though advertised as Class A, and putting out 30W/channel into 8 ohms, etc, has been shown to put out closer to 90W/channel into 8 ohms, over 160W/channel into 4 ohms, and is presumably in fact a Class A/B amp, contrary to Luxman’s published specs. https://www.luxman.cz/data/test/test-en-l590axii-hifinews.pdf http://www.navratilaudio.cz/novinky/Luxman_L590AXII_HFW.pdf |
