    The M33 is actually pretty awesome. It has really grown on me.

    Now with some time on the 595a, I'm ecstatic. It's starting to relax and open up. I'll need a few hundred hours on it for it to break in like everything else, but it's awesome.

    I'm playing the Esoteric K01XD through the 595A and am amazed at the sound quality.

    I have 3 awesome integrated amps (Job INTegrated, M33 and now the 595A) and love them for different reasons.

    The 595A is a keeper. Seems to run a little hotter than I remember the 590AXII running but I LOVE LUXMAN.

    Thank you gentlemen.

    It’s a keeper. After being on and playing all night, it’s opened up, relaxed and blossomed. Smooth and sweet like a wonderful Luxman amp. It’s awesome.

    The 595A is now a different animal. It's absolutely amazing. Big 3D, open and sweet with absolutely wonderful vocals. Sooooo much better than when first fired up and absolutely stunning now. It's only going to get better.

    I've owned the 590AXII and loved it. This 595A SE has now surpassed my memory of the 590AXII which was/is superb in its own right.

    Thank you very much Buddy. It really is. I was nervous at first but nothing sounds great out of the box and this was fresh from an arduous trip. As it settles, it's so gratifying.

    My 595a is truly my destination amp. Big and bold, yet smooth and sweet sounding. It’s settling in beautifully. Nothing more I can ask for in an integrated.

    Man I love the aesthetics of that unit. The push buttons bring back memories of old Plymouth cars, and old car radios. No doubt it sounds just a wee-bit better

    I’m so happy right and that any plans for future gear is out the window. It’s more than powerful enough and just sounds awesome.

    Re: Luxman L-595A Special Edition finally arrives !!!

    I asked Luxman the difference between 590 and 595.

    Here is their response:

    What we understand is that there are over 120 parts detail differences between the L-590aXII and L-595ASE;

    * Different main power transformer, with special attention paid to noise entering the circuits. And with special vibration control of the transformer itself.
    * New, special power supply capacitors. Also installed with special vibration control mounting.
    * Anti-resonance chassis design elements implemented in the extreme.
    * Peel coat PCB’s implemented where it can make a difference.
    * Special copper clad critical signal path shielding.
    * Special “Line-1 gold direct onto copper (KAPPA) alloy” RCA style input jacks. (For best sound quality)
    * Special selected Nichicon and Nippon Chemi-Con capacitors used throughout.
    * First introduction of Luxman’s proprietary “ODNF-u” (Only Distortion Negative Feedback – Ultimate) in an integrated amplifier application. (An advancement over ODNF 4.0)
    * Special, very low -impedance speaker relays. (Higher damping factor= 370)

    Re: Luxman L-595A Special Edition finally arrives !!!

    I wonder what contributes to the increase in distortion and 2db reduction in S/N on the line inputs compared to the 590AXII.

    The look of the US version of the 595 without the wood enclosure is really growing on me. The industrial look is striking in the video you posted.

    Re: Luxman L-595A Special Edition finally arrives !!!

    I’m confused. Are these still available? I’m told that there is a 595A release in Feb 2022? We’re there two release dates? Asking for a friend….

    Dealers enjoy making something seem rarer than it actually is, sales 101. The information I received is that approx 50% of production was still available and slowly coming in from Japan.

    That’s not true. This is a limited (to 100) production run for the US. Those are the facts. How fast they sell out is anyones guess. We have access to one more after already selling 5.

    Not pointing the finger at anyone but I'm sure you know, as well as I do, how some Dealers operate.

    Interesting the allocation model that Luxman has applied here, only way this works is if Dealers put deposits down or pay in full for their allocation. Otherwise, how do you not supply the Dealer that is selling multiples with as much allocation as they can sell.

    I can’t speak for Canada, but here it’s been very fair. Order one, sell one, you can order another. They successfully avoided a situation where one dealer orders 15 or 20. That just happened with another limited supply product and then there was none left.

    The LX-590AXII is gone from the Japanese Luxman website... The Japanese website is featuring the upcoming L-507Z but nothing else... Yet...

    Anyone knows what would replace the LX-590AXII since the L-595ASE is a limited edition only that is most probably all sold (or soon will be)?
