Condition is unknown, so the price has to do the heavy lifting here: at US$1,350, this is above the 75th percentile of your recent comps and reads as ambitious rather than fair. For a cleaner benchmark, the same model’s typical used ask has been much lower in the broader market, so this listing needs something special to justify the premium.
That said, the TP-117 is a legitimately interesting Luxman piece: a well-regarded tuner-preamplifier with strong phono performance, useful system-control flexibility, and enough cachet that a complete, clean example can still tempt serious buyers. If it includes the proper remote and has been fully tested, that helps; without those, and especially at this price, the buyer should want proof of smooth operation across all functions before leaning in.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Luxman traces its origins to 1925 in Osaka, Japan, when brothers T. Hayakawa and K. Yoshikawa launched a radio equipment division within their Kinsuido picture frame import business, coinciding with Japan's inaugural radio broadcast. Initially importing components, the company soon pivoted to in-house manufacturing of transformers and switches, birthing the Luxman brand and establishing it as one of Japan's oldest electronic component makers. This heritage of precision engineering has endured through ownership shifts, including stints with Alpine and Samsung, before returning to Japanese hands in the early 2000s under dedicated Luxman Corporation.
The brand specializes in luxury high-end audio components, with a storied emphasis on amplifiers—both integrated and power models—preamplifiers, and receivers renowned for their warm, detailed sound. Luxman also produces turntables, CD players, tape decks, and speakers, alongside modern digital offerings like DACs, all handcrafted in Japan with custom parts and dual-mono designs for ultimate fidelity.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Luxman commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its timeless aesthetics, uncompromising build quality, and sonic refinement that bridges vintage warmth with cutting-edge performance. Classics like the 1970s CL-32 preamp and 1980s L-507 integrated amplifier fuel its collector appeal, while contemporary lines reaffirm its status as a boutique benchmark for those seeking "Ultimate Fidelity since 1925."
