About the L-505Z

The Luxman L-505Z is the entry-level model in Luxman's Z-Series, honoring the classic L-505 while incorporating modern advancements like the proprietary LIFES 1.0 (Luxman Integrated Feedback Engine System) for ultra-low distortion and dynamic sound. It features a bipolar parallel push-pull output stage, a highly stable 540VA EI-type power transformer, and four custom 10,000μF filter capacitors for exceptional power delivery and linearity. The LECUA electronically controlled attenuator ensures precise, noise-free volume adjustment with perfect channel balance. A built-in MM/MC phono stage supports direct turntable connection, complemented by multiple line-level inputs including balanced XLR. Aesthetic highlights include large needle VU meters with white LED backlighting and a 7-segment LED volume display, controllable via the RA-17A remote. Additional functions include defeatable tone controls (Bass ±8dB at 100Hz, Treble ±8dB at 10kHz), loudness contour, line straight bypass, bi-amping capability, and dual headphone outputs (6.3mm and 4.4mm Pentaconn). Designed for sonic purity with non-angled PCB wiring, OFC internal cabling, and loop-less chassis, it offers a refined, engaging listening experience suitable for demanding speakers.
