The Luxman L-595A \u00a0integrated amplifier model\u00a0,\u00a0<\/a>promised\u00a0last year, has\u00a0appeared\u00a0on the Luxman website\u00a0.\u00a0The full name of the device is L-595ASE, it became one of the devices with which the company decided to celebrate its 95th anniversary.\u00a0At the same time, the L-595A Special Edition inherits some of the features of the original L-570 amplifier, released in 1989.<\/p>\n

This is evidenced by the design of the Luxman L-595A , in which there is a lot of polished aluminum, processed on precision metal-cutting machines. All this is said to be assembled in the right proportions and has impeccable mechanics with a signature tactile response.<\/p>\n

According to the company, the L-595ASE (Special Edition) is equipped with “the best of Luxman's latest circuitry.”\u00a0It uses the latest version of ODNF-u proprietary feedback with improved error detection circuitry.\u00a0The volume is controlled by the LECUA1000 88-step electronically controlled attenuator.<\/p>\n

The L-595A Special Edition operates in pure class A, eliminating crossover distortion.\u00a0Power ratings of 30W + 30W (8 ohms) or 60W + 60W (4 ohms) are generated by a three-stage Darlington circuit in a parallel push-pull configuration.<\/p>\n

The manufacturer also stated “a significant improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio”: better than 75 dB (IHF-A) at the “hardest” Phono input (MC) or more than 105 dB at the line input.\u00a0At the same time, the damping coefficient exceeds 370 units.<\/p>\n

For all this, the power supply, in particular, received a power transformer with a power reserve and is equipped with separate banks of filtering capacitors for each of the channels.\u00a0The individual parts of the circuit are shielded with copper-plated steel, and the RCA terminals are made of a copper alloy with the conductivity of copper and the hardness of brass.<\/p>\n

The Luxman L-595A Special Edition integrated amplifier will be released in 300 units – in the US, its price will be about $ 12,000.<\/p>\n
