They are not expensive you Americans are fortunate that you pay sweet fanny Adams for 90*% of your Hifi... Welcome to the real World... as to what the rest of the world has to pay is absorbent.....So stop complaining
Absolutely outstanding production quality; Hollywood beware! Both great amps, but... 45% MSRP (relative to Japan) increase in the USA/CANADA markets makes me look elsewhere.
Bueno, antes de salir este video, yo ya habia comprado el E4000. Es una joya insuperable. El gran inconveniente, para mucha gente, es el alto precio; a mi me parece desmesurado, pero no hay otra: o lo cojes, o lo dejas. Yo hice un serio esfuerzo, pero merece muy mucho la pena. Ahora me siento un privilegiado por tener esa suerte. Saludos.
Both of these brands are too expensive in the US compared to Japan! The price for accuphase is over the top and not worth it! Both companies do make beautiful high-quality products!
@@JNElectrics Since in the US they are priced exactly the same and now that it is available do you think you might do that comparison; if it is not available to you to test given the new specs, which to my eye do not appear to be so different, intuitively do you think the E-4000 would win again? Is there a chance you will be reviewing the Mark Levinson 585.5 integrated with phono perhaps against the E-800?
@@JNElectrics I just remembered Esoteric has released the F-02 integrated with built in phono to replace the F-05 which had been on the market for 6 years; also priced the same as the Luxman L 509Z and the Accuphase E-4000; it would be amazing and wonderful if you did all 3 at the same time, then, at the end, you could rank them first place second place and third place
Comparing Luxman to Accuphase itself is a huge disgrace and humiliation to Accuphase lol Luxman is a Chinese company and Accuphase is 100% Japanese. Strict parts and highest sound reproduction expectations. Luxman is just some commercial amplifiers you can find in the same category as Marantz or Denon. I would strongly recommend Denon PMA-SX11 or PMA-A110 if you need it with tone controls at only a fraction of the price In Japan, Accuphase is for serious audio enthusiasts and Luxman is for rich beginners that are clueless of what "audio" is all about LOL Now you know why Accuphase is more expensive.
Luxman is a Japanese company located in Yokohama, Japan. Production also takes place in Japan. You are misinformed I guess. Marantz, Denon and Yamaha are one class below the level of Accuphase and Luxman.
