LUXMAN L509X VS M700/C700U

Did you end up getting the CL-38? How is it? 

What are you using for the source? I assume you've got the Luxman Dac. 
Are you able to audition Luxman Tube amp? Do you have a power conditioner? What speaker cable do you have?

Congrats on picking up the CL-38C. The unit sounds great out of the box but give it a few weeks for the tubes to burn in and it will sound even better. Down the road you may want to add a TT. The phono section is excellent w/4 step up transformers. Luxman Solid State understandably gets most of the press but the tube products are also very competitive. Now I don't feel so lonely at least someone else out there owns one of these preamps. Enjoy the music.

Greetings, interesting reading above for sure. Here is my current mini-system: MacBook Pro to D-N150 cd/DAC to SQ-N10 tube to Heritage lll. Sounds great to my old ears and looks even better; looks like the components were made by the same company, that Apple made Luxman or Luxman made Apple—same size, same finish, same amazing workmanship. Have larger Luxman, McIntosh, etc pieces, but the above three win on charm alone.
