If you check the net you'll find alot of Lux gear like the M-7 and the M-10 that was being manufactured and sold, again though, not in NA. Alpine dragged Lux down, but did allow the highend group to continue on. |

Yes, you are correct, Luxman continued to manufacture quality components sold in Japan. I believe I made mention of that, although I did not clarify that the Japanese Luxman components maintained their high-end status. Thanks for bring that up. Unfortunately the Luxman products sold in the US for well over ten years nearly ruined their reputation here and some of that stigma remains. It will fade if Luxman stays the course.

Luxman sources are natural (not "hyperanalitic") but not warm sounding, they are highly neutral, if your system sounds forward they will make it sound forward. Stay away from the Esoteric, and choose between the D08 and the warmer DP700. |

-- ...But if you truly want the very best ('state-of-the-art' IMO), there is also the dCS Scarlatti digital playback system.
