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. No, I'm not going to make a video or jump through any hoops other than delivering it within a reasonable distance.
The timing matters: the Luxman L-507 is an older generation, but its reputation and enduring demand keep it relevant on the used market. At US$950, this is a strong deal—just above the comparable listings’ 25th-percentile US$875 and close to the US$925 median, while well below the US$2,233 75th percentile.
Its appeal is straightforward: Luxman’s L-507 series is known for a refined, powerful presentation, robust construction, and excellent everyday usability. At this price, a properly working example offers substantial enthusiast value, especially if the phono stage, meters, controls, and speaker outputs are all healthy. Since the listing says “Other” and gives no condition detail, confirm the exact L-507 variant, operating status, service history, and included remote or accessories before committing—but the asking price leaves room for a worthwhile buy.
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."
