This US$425 asking price for the used Luxman T-400 is ambitious, as the model is a 1982 FM/AM tuner (not an amplifier) that typically trades around US$325–US$350 in the used market when converted from its original ¥49,000 Japanese listing. At US$425, you’re paying roughly 25% above the median, so it’s not a bargain unless the unit is in pristine, original-owner condition with all accessories.
The T-400 is well-regarded for its high-energy PLL circuit on the front end, which minimizes sound-quality degradation from quartz-oscillation errors and delivers clean, stable FM/AM reception. If this listing includes the original case, remote (if applicable), and shows no capacitor drift or tuner misalignment, the sonic upside of Lux’s PLL tuning tech makes it a worthwhile buy for enthusiasts who value vintage Japanese tuner performance—but only if the condition justifies the premium.
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."
