Anyone have a Luxman headphone amp?


How do you like it? What were you using before it? I have some Focal Stellia's and a 1/4" Black Dragon cable I am going to stick with. Currently using two very nice vintage pre amps and wanted to see if the sound would be any better off a dedicated headphone amp.

I have the Luxman P-750u and can't praise it enough. I use it for my Sennheiser HD800 phones which aren't the easiest to drive and to the luxman it is a breeze. It is super detailed and is a totally balanced design. You will get more out of any phone with this amp.

I also have the Luxman p-750u and I find it astonishing, to say the least.

I drove a pair of Stellias and now have the Hifiman HE 1000se.

I'm currently waiting on a pair of Susvara but don't think the Luxman, even with it's different sensitivity settings, will be enough.

Any other headphone would be fine on it.

@devilboy I’m currently running Arya Stealths and am quite happy, but for my next upgrade I was looking at the 1000se so just wondering what you think of them?  Since you’re moving up to the Susvara was there something unsatisfying about the 1000se or did you just get the audiophile upgrade itch?  Thanks for any thoughts!

@soix  I loved my Arya and I had the FIRST edition.

I found the 1000se to be much more resolving, with more detail and separation of instruments than the Arya 1.  

If I had to live with the 1000 SE I would be very happy but as you mentioned, I got the upgrade itch and decided to take the plunge on the almighty Susvara. Lol.

 

@devilboy Congrats on the Susvaras!  I’d be very interested in your thoughts on them versus the 1000se.  I read a review, I think at Soundnews.net, that said the 1000se captured a lot of the Susvara’s performance, but obviously there are serious variables like amp power that make the comparo a little tough.
