Celebrating their 100th anniversary in 2025, Luxman introduced LIFES, the successor to ODNF, delivering realistic, vibrant musicality and powerful audio performance. Based on ODNF principles, LIFES feeds back only distortion, preserving the original signal for natural, non-feedback-like sound. Developed from first principles with simulations, careful component selection, and repeated listening tests, it achieves supreme performance for next-generation Luxman products. Version 1.0 reduces parallel elements, halves amplification distortion, and features a 3-stage Darlington triple-parallel push-pull output, delivering 110 W + 110 W (8 Ω) and 210 W + 210 W (4 Ω), producing energetic, natural sound and driving any speaker system with ease.

Needle-type analog VU meters are a symbolic design statement of Luxman’s solid-state integrated amplifiers. The L-507Z is equipped with a large dual meter with bright LED back-lighting and high response characteristics. Luxman have adopted such a display so the movement of the needles synchronises with the dynamics of your music. In addition, newly included 7-segment LEDs display the attenuation level between the left and right level meters so that the current attenuation amount can be easily seen from the listening position. The level meter back-lighting and LED display can be turned on and off using the remote control.

The rectangular chassis housing design features an ultra-thick front panel with a high-quality, blasted white finish. This has become a brand identifier of current Luxman products, with a delicate hairline-finished aluminum top panel, a luxurious exterior design adopted for their high-grade amplifiers. The large ventilation slots on the top panel provide sufficient airflow, and the entire chassis housing is fabricated from aluminum panels, providing excellent heat dissipation, ensuring the stable operation of this product.

A highly stable, custom-made EI-type power transformer and newly developed, large-capacity filter capacitors (10,000μF × 8) are combined in the power supply unit, which provides instantaneous current supply and voltage stability, easily meeting the demands of dynamic music reproduced through capable speakers.

The L-507Z employs many of Luxman’s unique technologies. Beeline construction directs audio input signals via the optimum shortest route through to the speaker output, and non-angled circuit board tracing realises smooth current transmission. A loop-less chassis structure isolates the effects of ground impedance.

The L-507Z features a variety of functions, such as the built-in, newly developed MM/MC compatible phono amplifier circuit that supports high-quality analog playback. Sensitive tone controls, L balance control and a loudness function are convenient for sound quality adjustments. The separate function uncouples the pre and power amplification system, and a new mute button has been added to the front panel.

In addition to the standard φ6.3mm output, a new φ4.4mm output has been added, with independent left and right ground wiring that greatly improves L-R separation for the listener who wants to enjoy truly three-dimensional sound.

Large, low resistance, parallel-configured speaker relays transmit the high driving force of a large-scale output circuit without loss. The damping factor has also been improved by direct wiring to the speaker terminals using our proprietary OFC wire that realises natural signal transmission.
