Design
This thoroughly modern amplifier is wrapped in a nostalgic look, with the wonderful retro vintage charm that comes with large analog VU meters that dance to the beat of your music. A large red LED volume level readout makes control from your listening position easy, and once you’ve got the volume set this display can be set to turn off.
Like all Luxman products, the L-505Z integrated amplifier is built to the levels you’d expect from a precision Japanese made instrument. Beautiful brushed and polished accents on the metal controls exude luxury in their look and feel. Every control operates with authority and purpose.
Technology
It’s the most-used control on an amplifier and one that can have a dramatic effect on sound quality. The LECUA (Luxman Electronically Controlled Ultimate Attenuator) volume control in the Luxman L-505Z integrated amplifier offers precise control of the level of your music over 88 fine steps. Luxman’s design minimizes distortion across all volume levels, ensuring that the amplifier operates as intended, bringing your favourite music closer to you.
Like its higher-end siblings, the L-507Z and L-509Z, the Luxman L-505Z amplifier features the company’s proprietary LIFES (Luxman Integrated Feedback Engine System) technology. Originally introduced in their flagship M10X power amplifier, this technology has trickled down to this, their entry-level integrated amplifier. Through rigorous research and extended auditioning, this technology allows Luxman to reduce distortion and deliver more of what you really want: natural sounding music.

Creative Audio Pro Tips
The Luxman L-505Z will sound great right out of the box, but will sound even better after 200 hours of use.
Always keep the top of the amplifier clear to allow for adequate ventilation. Do not place the unit in a closed cabinet.
We always recommend quality interconnect cables both from your source(s) as well as to your power amplifier.
