Have Luxman 509x. Considering Pass Labs INT-250 or Dan D’Agostino Progression Integrated
If anybody interested, I got luxman 509z last week.  I traded 507z towards it. The 507z is already build like a tank, but to me the 509z build is another level up. The speaker terminals, top cover , side panels - better quality. But what surprised...

I will have to burn 509z for many hours. The mistake of some owners (I was there too many times) to make conclusions before sufficient burn. It costed me a lot of money to ignore burn in significance, system synergy, isolation and room acoustics.

Ryder,  yes 590axii is terrific integrated - if your speakers are not demanding a lot of power. In some cases I felt that bass is a little shy and missing some articulation. When 507z came out, my dealer sent me well burned unit. Again the key to ...

Please keep in mind that in my prev post I reference only integrated. I don’t have any hands on with pass or luxman separates.

I had pass  int-60 and int-250 in my system with Sonus Faber Serafino and Amari tradition speakers. I kind of agree with Eric. To me pass sounded a little mechanical and I could not get rid of this feeling, until I changed pass to luxman. First it... 
I have NOVA V's and I am not happy
OP, after many years of trials and errors I realized that synergy is the very important aspect of the system. Like one gentlemen above, I have now Nova V driven by Luxman 590axii and frond end is luxman d-10x. Sound is so natural, airy and 3D with... 
Boulder 866 vs Gryphon Diablo 300
Congrats weelndeel. Nice combo. To me luxman d-03x (if you don’t care about scad) is one of the best sounding players/DACs within 10k range and is a bargain considering it’s price.  I keep hearing how luxman separates m900 and c900 are much better... 
Luxman D-10X Follow up
Billstivenson, great info. I also have luxman d-10x after having esoteric k-01x, accuphase dp-750 and some others. I decided not to run any brake in cds and just brake this player by playing music when I listen to it only. So for now it has about ... 
Accuphase DP570 vs. Luxman D10X
Hi Jayant, my system  cables  - all audience from row integrated - luxman 590axii speakers - Sonus Faber Amati tradition.  latest and the best tweak  that made a big difference in the sound of my system is addition of townshend podiums under ... 
Accuphase DP570 vs. Luxman D10X
I had accuphase 560, nothing special. Currently have accuphase dp-750 and luxman d-10x.  Both are great. But accuphase here in US way overpriced even if you find a dealer with a good discount it’s still will cost more than luxman. To my ears and ... 
Harbeth vs Vandersteen vs Sonner
snackeyp, what do you like better with Harbeth than SF? What SF do you have? And most important question: in moderately sized room (12’X25' with listening position 15’ from the front 12’ wall) what Harbeth model will be a best buy (price performan... 
Esoteric Grandioso K1 "Disc Error"
Sorry to hear that. I feel your frustration especially considering level of this player. How often you play cds on it?Get cleaning cd on amazon and play it for 30 min.if your esoteric lens became dirty, it should clean it and hopefully resolve thi... 
All-in-one integrated, 10-15K range, class A/B only
I totally agree with Riaa. A lot of people listen to this guy Jay (WC) who is quite entertaining, but he changes a gear more often that I change my sucks. He does not burn it long enough and always mix and match. I had all 3 integrated in my house... 
Opinions please - Rowland 625 S2 vs Luxman M900u ?
+1 on triode wire labs obsession. My system powered by 4 of them. They bested (in my system) such cables as shunyata sigma HC,cardas clear beyond, zen wave audio, wireworld platinum and some others. Great power cables. You should try them with lux...
