    Now that is a system! Love the components, that integrated is just awesome. I am listening via my headphones, and the sound quality is of the charts. Lots of detail, very natural sounding. LOVE the bass reproduction. Great sounding recording. Thanks for another awesome demo man!

      @@vpconcepts9838 I cant say so, cuz you always play boring and poor music where is only voice and some several instruments. how can it be tested with such poor music? I also looking forward to purchase Luxman, but 220v versions cuz Im in europe, and the CD player+headphone amplifier, cuz I listen music mostly in headphones with such music styles like - ambient, classical ambient, organic drone, IDM, electronic, synthwave, electro, psy-trance, psy-chill, and some speed and power metal. so im confused whats best - integrated amplifier with headphone jack output, or headphone amplifier?

      You're a certain kind of special.... if you want loud boom boom and not a light delicate relaxing sound like this, it isn't for you, get your self a crown xls 2502 and a nice fiio headphone amplifier.

      You're a fool, lmao, that luxman is certainly worth the money, quality over quantity, not only are the transformers wired by luxman in their plant in Japan, hand-wired mind you, but every single part inside of the thing, other than the few semiconductors inside, which are made by Japan radio corperation and the tubes which are re branded jj's and the capacitors "which are rebranded united chemicon capacitors" besides those things, it's all made in house, this amp, it's literally a big chunk of aluminum, it has a really nice phono preamp inside of it as well, the pcb boards have very thick traces, and it has metal film resistors inside, it is completely worth the money, might not get as loud as that buget amp you talk about, but in terms of quality, it would completely blow it out of the water in every way, this luxman would keep working 40 years or more after buying it, probably outlive you, but that amp that you got there won't last 10 - 15 years.... people like you make me laugh... With brands like luxman, you aren't just paying for the name, you're paying for the quality to last a life time, just like bryston, mclintosh, klipsch, b&w, kef, accuphase, passlabs, deccaware, nirvana audio ect. Enjoy your cheefi firehazard of lackluster performance.
