Gorgeous, both visual & aural. I've been using this for 15ish years in a secondary system, zero issues. Just too much stuff as I have put my Lux C12/M12 combo back in it's place. Pre-Alpine Luxman, stunning build & component quality. Excellent MM/MC phonostage.
Compared with the obvious alternative—an ordinary mid-market integrated amplifier—this Luxman L-507 at US$900 is a strong deal. That is exactly the ground-truth 25th-percentile price and sits at the US$900 median, so it is fair-to-bargain territory rather than an ambitious ask. The unknown condition is the only reason not to call it an outright steal.
The L-507 name covers more than one generation, but these amplifiers are valued for substantial power, refined sound, excellent build quality, and unusually capable analog connectivity; later versions add balanced inputs and MM/MC phono. At this money, a fully working example with clean controls, quiet operation, both channels healthy, and the correct voltage is worth pursuing. Confirm the exact suffix, test the phono stage and protection behavior, and check that the remote and original accessories are present.
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."
