Experience a Century of Audio Excellence: The Luxman L-505Z Integrated Amplifier

Here at Skylabs Audio, we believe that true high-end audio should be an experience. That's why we are proud to present the Luxman L-505Z, an integrated amplifier born from a century of legendary craftsmanship. To celebrate their 100th anniversary, Luxman has created something truly special: an amplifier that delivers their signature sonic purity and meticulous engineering at a level more accessible than ever before.

The L-505Z is the gateway to Luxman's renowned Z-Series. It’s a masterful one-box solution for the modern music lover, combining breathtaking performance with the flexibility you need.

The Sound of Purity, The Heart of Your System

At its core, the L-505Z is powered by Luxman's groundbreaking LIFES1.0 feedback engine, ensuring a sound that is effortlessly musical, engaging, and alive. Every detail is designed for sonic purity:

• Effortless Power & Dynamics: A conservatively rated 100 watts per channel is backed by a massive 540VA EI-type power transformer and custom-built capacitors. This means the L-505Z handles complex musical passages with grace, never sounding strained, even at high volumes.

• Perfect for Vinyl Lovers: The superb built-in MM/MC phono preamplifier features a parallelized first stage, bringing out the warmth, detail, and nuance from your entire record collection.

• Precision Volume Control: Luxman’s proprietary LECUA electronically controlled attenuator provides 88 steps of perfectly smooth, transparent volume adjustment, preserving the integrity of the audio signal at any level.

• Pristine Signal Path: From its discrete buffer circuitry to its beeline topology and oxygen-free copper wiring, every element is chosen to deliver the shortest, cleanest path for your music.

Craftsmanship You Can See and Feel

The L-505Z is built to exacting standards in Japan. The iconic, defeatable VU meters glow with a timeless elegance. The loop-less chassis structure eliminates ground interference, resulting in a cleaner soundstage. Even the speaker terminals are thoughtfully designed, spaced generously to accommodate high-quality cables.

Total Connectivity & Control

This 50-pound amplifier is ready for any setup:

• Inputs: 4x RCA Line-Level, 2x Balanced XLR, 1x Phono (MM/MC)

• Headphone Outputs: A standard 6.3mm jack and a high-performance 4.4mm balanced output with independent grounding for an immersive, three-dimensional listening experience.

• Flexibility: Pre-out and power-in jacks allow for bi-amping or connecting a powered subwoofer.

• Convenience: A full-function aluminum remote control is included, and a 12V trigger allows for home automation integration.

"It has this effortless musicality that makes everything you play through it sound engaging and alive... handles complex passages with ease, never sounding strained or harsh, even at higher volumes." —John Darko, Darko.Audio
