    Hi Julian.

    Yes, it does look rather smart and under-stated. What you can't quite see from that pic is the smoked glass top to the amp. Beautiful in the flesh.

    I have used it often with other pres, usually a Croft, which go very well together. This latest Quad improves over the last but still excellent Elite series. I place it up there with some exotic and very expensive, North American amps but at a fraction of the cost.

    I have a NOS Oracle Delphi Mk2. Set up but never used, just packed back in it's box and put into storage.

    Anyone interested in buying this at a very reasonable price if I post pics ?

    Luxman is coming to Radlett Audio.

    Well, not Luxman, just some of their electronics.

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    I'll get pics, descriptions and prices posted as soon as I find time and if I can drag myself away from listening to the LA-590AX-2.

    I really wasn't prepared to be so impressed with this amp after reading some OK'ish reviews in the mags. I knew it would look and feel good in proper Hi-Fi fashion but the sound is freakin' awesome. I spent two hours listening to CDs I've heard a thousand times before but never quite like this. Totally magic.

    Love Luxman gear. It's always been sheer class!

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Luvverly meters and just about every facility you could want.

    I hope to find time, later, to try the CD player.

    Why is it that high-end Japanese equipment rarely gets the attention it deserves in the UK ? This Luxman gear is right up there with the best available but will barely get a mention in the mags or forums.

    The Japanese are every bit as enthusiastic, probably more so, than the British enthusiast and they really know what they are doing but I know, from past experience, that it isn't going to be taken seriously. A great pity as this Luxman gear I now have here on loan is wonderful and the build is incredible. There isn't a company in the UK capable of building such electronics.
