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.
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
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.
I have never heard such stupid arguments to determine if one is better than the other (weights, dimensions, electricity consumption etc...). Sound is the most critical factor when you want to select an amplifier. An excellent amplifier delivers excellent sound. This should be your primary deciding element, so you will need to listen carefully before your purchase.
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.

Quite possibly the hardest 8 minute watch I’ve ever had.
you are one of the lucky ones

😂😂😂 I feel you mate
what mate did you mean?
Do Specifications equate to better sound?
But if you like the Luxman type sound, you can't get that from Accuphase.

hi friend welcome
They are expensive even in Japan too !!!
I think the Luxman L 509Z should have been the model used for comparison
The Luxman L-509Z was not yet released when the content of this video was created.

The video maker MUST consider putting subtitle. Basically impossible for me, as a non native English speaker, to understand his accent.
did you turn on the CC ???
yes i did
Is there anything you don't understand?
CC means Closed captioning. it is located at the bottom of the screen (on the opposite of Play) . just click on it , and you'll get the caption.
No schematics, how do you repair it when need it ? Very bad for both companies.
thank you for watching. Just wait another 5 to 10 years, the two companies will release their schematics.
Accuphase don’t want you repairing it yourself.
@@aussie8114 yes true.

Thank you for your comment, I will fulfill your wishes next time.
Does passion make sense?
Good
Got a Luxman l-540 @ an Aupphase e-306. They were both made in the mid 1990's.Prefer the sound of the Luxman but there's not much in it
both are difference class.
Video effects are distracting.
Luxman best of the best!!!
Also Accuphase has a tape output plus a DAC.
yes.. thanks for watching
❤❤❤
Painfull to watch.
why
@@JNElectrics remove the uneccesary effects.
Watching L_507z n E4000
ok
wtf?
do you know amp?

You are wrong in many ways.
