What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard?
Luxman 509X. Incredible. Do not WANT to hear the M-900U/C-900U which is the Luxman combo that is appreciably better than the 509X. Supposedly the 509X is 90% of this top combo;The engineering that went into the 509X receives maximum applause from ...

Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions.
Great thread. I have a mild curiosity about comparisons between the 300 and Luxman 509X. I am using my 509x with Dynaudio Contour 60’s and there is much to love about the results. I did have a Pass Labs x250.8 with XP20 just prior to the 509. Ever...

Going linear - The Luxman 507ux
I guess we wouldn’t be audiophiles if we weren’t complaining about something, remote controls included. LolHopefully things sound better for you soon. As for better measurements, how would one extrapolate such results to actual preception of sound... 
Going linear - The Luxman 507ux
That’s not what I experienced. The 507’s sonic signature has been super even and nothing lost or really gained since day one. I, however, have had a few biological issues myself and currently fighting a sinus issue that is affecting my left ear, s...
