The Luxman P-100 Centennial headphone amplifier is based on the patented proprietary LIFES technology (Luxman Integrated Feedback System). This is a next-generation feedback topology that is significantly superior to the previous ODNF (Only Distortion Negative Feedback) solution.

Luxman P-750u is a top—of-the-line headphone amplifier with balanced circuitry. Unlike most similar devices, this device is made in a metal case with a standard width for Hi-Fi components, which will allow it to perfectly fit into an existing set of audio equipment. At the same time, the small height will ensure easy installation even in the case of limited free space in the rack.

The flagship of the new generation Z series, the L-509Z, has evolved into something that goes beyond the concept of integrated amplifiers. For the first time, the amplification feedback mechanism of the new generation "LIFES" is used simultaneously in the circuits of the preamplifier and the power amplifier. The volume control part is equipped with a new "LECUA-EX" mechanism, which suppresses the deterioration of sound quality and provides an accurate sense of operation. The "one case, separate" concept, which aims to create the perfect all-in-one amplifier, has reached unprecedented heights.

The Luxman L-509Z power amplifier consists of three cascades of four parallel transistors operating in a push-pull mode. The output power declared by the manufacturer is 220 watts when operating on a load with a nominal resistance of 4 ohms for each channel.

The device also uses the original LUXMAN ODNF feedback circuit (with negative feedback only based on distortion) and a power supply with independent storage capacitors for the left and right channels, as well as many circuit solutions commonly used only in the highest-end models, which together ensures high-quality music playback.

The Luxman L-507Z integrated amplifier combines advanced technology and rich functionality, going far beyond its price segment in terms of acoustic capabilities, Luxman claims. The novelty is the first model in the Z series, which the manufacturer calls innovative. The company's pretentiousness is based on the successor to the ODNF feedback circuit, which has been present in Luxman amplifiers since 1999. It was replaced by the LIFES scheme, developed through painstaking research. The technology debuts in the L-507Z.

The Luxman L-590AXII is a new flagship in the proprietary integrated amplifier series, operating in the pure A-class. The device continues the evolutionary line of the L-590AX and embodies the best practices of the company over the past fifty years.

The Luxman L-505Z integrated amplifier, like the older L-509Z and L-507Z models, implements proprietary LIFES technology, which is an integral part of the Luxman next-generation amplifier circuitry. LIFES (Luxman Integrated Feedback Engine System) is based on the ODNF (Only Distortion Negative Feedback) feedback concept, which provides excellent performance without feeding any musical input signals back to the input of the main amplifier.

The L-505uXll received the latest version of the proprietary negative feedback circuit, ODNF4.0, (the L-505uX had version 2.3), with improved high-frequency performance and reduced output impedance. The output stage of the preamplifier has the same discrete element buffer circuit as the flagship C-900u, which improves the ability to efficiently work with the power amplification section while maintaining the purity of delicate musical signals.

The Luxman L-595A SE integrated amplifier provides direct selection of the active input via large square keys. The volume, tone, and channel balance controls are rotary. Moreover, the gain level knob is illuminated with a soft LED light. The case is covered from above by a 6 mm thick aluminum plate with ventilation holes for efficient heat dissipation.

The Luxman C-10X preamp is designed in a fully balanced concept, from balanced input to balanced output. The component is equipped with a turn-off tone block with high and low frequency adjustments, as well as a channel balance control.

The C-900U has the latest version of the attenuator with an increased number of steps and increased accuracy to 88. The latest version of the proprietary ODNF 4.0 algorithm provides distortion-only feedback here.

The Luxman C-700u preamp inherits the versatility and high sound quality of the C-600F, but has a higher gain: 12 dB versus 10.5 dB for the C-600F. Externally, the C-700u is similar to its fully balanced older brother, the C-900u, but does not have a symmetrical circuit topology, despite the presence of XLR connectors.

Externally, the Luxman CL-1000 is similar to the classic Luxman C-1000 model - but, according to the company, the device has radically changed its circuitry. The core of the Luxman CL-1000 is the LEKUTA transformer unit (Luxman Electrically Controlled Ultimate Transformer Attenuator), which uses 34 positions.

The amplifier weighs 48.4 kg and is capable of delivering 2 × 150 watts with a speaker resistance of 8 ohms and 2 × 1,200 watts with a resistance of 1 ohm. It is reported about the "stadium" single-channel 2.4 kW at 2 ohms in BTL mode. The high damping coefficient helps to cope with even the most difficult speakers.

The flagship has a massive 48-kilogram body with a front aluminum panel, which has two arrow level indicators with original white LED backlight. On the facade there is a power/standby key with an indication of operating modes, an input selection button with two LEDs, a backlight off button and an LED diode indicating the activation of BTL bridge mode.

The Luxman M-700u dual-channel power amplifier is made in the classic design of the company, with a laconic front panel, the main decoration of which is the arrow indicators of the signal strength.

The M200 model was created specifically for use in a stereo system that includes an external DAC, and uses a computer or media player as the source. The amplifier has a push-pull circuit using discrete elements. The following inputs are present on the back of the case: balanced XLR, standard RCA. The M-200 power amplifier is a good option for systems with shelf speakers located in small rooms.

The player supports MQA technology, which allows you to play MQA CDs, as well as MQA audio files with a resolution of up to 24 bits.

The LUXMAN D-N150 is equipped with the same optical disc transport as the highly acclaimed D-380 CD player. Carefully selected and audibly tested parts include a power transformer, filter storage capacitors, Schottky barrier diodes, and LUXMAN's proprietary Oxygen Free Copper (OFC) wiring. The Texas Instruments PCM5102A DAC provides a signal-to-noise ratio of 110 dB, presenting music against a background very close to absolute silence.

The Luxman PD-191A vinyl record player is equipped with a completely new tonearm, drive system, disc mat and PWM/PID speed controller. Other key features of the new product include an outboard chassis with a 15 mm thick aluminum top panel and a massive 5.2 kg aluminum disc.

Vinyl record player, passionic drive, detonation coefficient less than 0.04%, aluminum disc 5 kg, speed shift 33/45, weight 23 kg.

The Luxman PD-171-Al player is equipped with an even more rigid frame and a heavy table to ensure stable disk rotation. The electric motor, drive chain and bearing section also received additional improvements with the previous model. The PD-171-AL comes without a tonearm, with the option to customize the record player, so you can enjoy playing vinyl according to your individual tastes.

The PD-151 Mark II is a model with a new tonearm of its own design. It is characterized by the presence of SAEC knife-type bearings, static balancing and universal cartridge mounting.

Luxman PD-151 MK II is a model with new software for independent operation. It is analyzed by the existing analogue of a new type from SAEC, a static balancing and universal cartridge mount.

Luxman PD-151 is a more affordable alternative to the well–proven PD-171A/AL player, which has managed to maintain high sound quality with a slightly simplified design. This model has taken the most serious measures to combat vibrations and resonances, making its sound stable, neutral and highly detailed.

Simply put, the device is a D-07X CD player, from which the company's engineers seized a CD drive. The developers also report improved sound and expanded functionality of the built-in digital-to-analog converter.

The latest generation Luxman DA-06 DAC is a clear demonstration of the company's aspirations and development vector - to always be at the forefront of digital sound technology. And although not so long ago WAV, FLAC, ALAC, and AIFF tracks with a resolution of more than 16 bits/44 kHz were considered the limit of possibilities, today there are many more formats. And with the advent of new digital rip SACDs and their converted versions in DSF and DFF formats, another vector of development of uncompressed audio tracks with a resolution of 64 and even 128 times higher than 16 bits/44 kHz and a quality level significantly higher than that of PCM was expected.

The most interesting features of the Luxman DA-250 are its capabilities, which differ significantly from the DA-200 model. So the USB input supports the following parameters: PCM — 32, 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192 kHz with 16, 24, and 32 bits, DSD — 2.82 and 5.64 MHz (1 bit). The digital inputs are represented by one coaxial and two optical inputs with 24/192 support. There are optical and coaxial outputs.

The Luxman DA-150 combo device combines a digital-to-analog converter with High Resolution audio support, and a high-quality headphone amplifier. The device is made in a compact metal case and is convenient for placement not only in a rack with other Hi-Fi components, but also, for example, on a desktop. However, despite its small size, the Luxman DA-150 is equipped with an integrated mains power supply unit powered by a powerful mains transformer. This made it possible to optimize the operation of its circuits, making the Luxman DA-150 as stable as possible.

The circuit design of the device includes several cascades, which use radio tubes from the Slovak manufacturer JJ: four double ECC83 triodes, two double ECC82 triodes and an EZ81 tube rectifier. The phono corrector uses four boost transformers (two per channel) equipped with super-permalloy cores to increase performance.

The device supports the operation of MM and MS cartridges. For the former, balanced and conventional inputs with a new step-down transformer are provided, in which the core is made of high-purity permalloy. The input stages are built on several FET transistors connected in parallel sequence. The amplifier is quite traditional with general feedback.

The Luxman E-250 uses an NF-type RIAA correction scheme that uses negative feedback and provides a high signal-to-noise ratio. Boost transformers equipped with super-permalloy alloy cores perform the signal amplification of MC cartridges. At the same time, the switch on the front panel allows you to choose one of two options for the gain and input resistance for MC heads: 57 dB/40 ohms or 66 dB/2.5 ohms.

he Luxman NT-07 Silver network player has seemingly standard functionality (UPnP, USB ^ OpenHome, built-in Qobuz, TIDAL, Spotify clients), but the main secrets are hidden under the hood of the device. There is a low-noise linear power supply with excess power, a pair of custom-made 10,000 μF capacitors and a new NT-07 digital transport system.

At the circuit design level, the Luxman L-100c amplifier is equipped with version 1.1 of the LIFES (Luxman Integrated Feedback Engine System) system, a development of the proprietary ODNF (Only Distortion Negative Feedback) architecture. According to Luxman, the parallel inclusion of several FET transistors in the input of the error detection circuit reduces distortion and improves linearity, while maintaining the proprietary sound saturation.

Luxman D-100c acts as a digital assistant. The model replaces the Luxman D-10X player in the company's product range and has been completely upgraded. It is based on the new LxDTM–i transport mechanism, integrated into the chassis and reinforced with aluminum side frames, a steel top panel and an aluminum base for increased rigidity and vibration suppression.

The Luxman B-100 CENTENNIAL amplifier provides 125 watts of power when operating on a load with a nominal resistance of 8 ohms and 250 watts at 4 ohms. The amplifier outputs the first 25 watts at 8 ohms in pure Class A, after which it switches to Class A/B mode. During short-term operation with a load of 1 Ohm, the claimed peak power of the monoblock reaches 1 kW, which emphasizes the high current output of the device.

The B-100C combines Class A and Class AB amplification technologies, making it possible to achieve high power output without excessive heat generation or power consumption.
