Luxman is a Japanese company that was founded in June 1925, and has since become widely known as a manufacturer of high-quality, world-class audio and video components.
Until this moment, the founder of the company, Mr. Kinsuido, was importing works of art to Japan, selling paintings and frames for them. At the same time, he was interested in music, studied radio engineering, and the design of radio receivers. In 1925, radio broadcasting officially began in Japan and then, in addition to paintings - the main profile product in his store, Mr. Kinsuido also began to bring radios. For this purpose, a radio equipment department was organized at the Kinsuido Picture Frame Store in Osaka, headed by T. Hayakawa and his brother K. Yoshikawa.
At that time, Japanese radio listeners were entirely dependent on technology created in the United States and Europe. However, the founder of Luxman immediately decided that in order to compete effectively, he must not only sell finished equipment, but also establish the production of spare parts on his own - to reduce import costs. The creation of the Luxman brand began with this small step.
Luxman initially became famous in Japan for its high quality output transformers and various switches, but as a result, today it is one of the oldest manufacturers of electronic components in Japan. Its respectable age is reflected in the company’s motto: “Ultimate Fidelity since 1925”.
Luxman engineers consider each of their products as an original work of art, which at the same time has the highest technical characteristics and capabilities.
All Luxman products are based on innovation and original technology, honed over many decades of research and production. Luxman products are designed for those customers who value uncompromising sound, stunning images, proven quality and superior appearance. Every nuance embodied in a piece of music, as well as the atmosphere in the place of performance, is accurately reproduced for listeners.
Despite its worldwide fame, Luxman prefers to remain a small company that produces only elite equipment and does not strive to increase mass production. This can only mean one thing: unique quality and respect for its customers, who specifically created a club of Luxman lovers. In addition, the company does not follow other people's standards, but creates them itself.
Today, Luxman produces stereo amplifiers, including tube audio, universal disc players, turntables, digital-to-analog converters, as well as individual phono stages, DACs and headphone amplifiers - more than 30 different models in total. All this high-end equipment is manufactured in Japan or at the new plant of the IAG Group holding (China), which now includes the Luxman brand.
Luxman continues to produce its own LxDTM (Luxman original Disc Transport Mechanism) disc drive, featuring the highest reading accuracy and a rigid design to eliminate vibrations. The proprietary amplification circuit with ODNF-u (Only Distortion Negative Feedback – ultimate) is the core of modern Luxman technology. It is based on a simple idea - only the distorted components of the audio signal are fed back into the negative feedback circuit, without changing the musical components. The result is original sound quality, full of dynamism and excellent signal-to-noise ratio.
Luxman products have earned many honorable awards and are invariably included in the lists of recommended High End components of the authoritative Stereophile magazine.
