how does the luxman sq38u compare to cs300xs?
I would love to hear a CS600 one day. Congrats, Duckman.
I do have a separate AC circuit to the main panel for my hifi to keep noise pollution on the line to a minimum.

It's a shame that 6moons reviewer says he can't comment on how the Leben CS-300XS compares to the Luxman SQ-38U. That's the comparison I'm most interested in right now.
As for the prices, yeah, imported amps are going to be really pricey stateside. I paid $3600 roughly for my CS-300XS, and I was told the price went up right after I ordered. Apparently there's a huge backorder on the CS-300XS right now.
The price of $6000 for the SQ-38U is a little absurd in my opinion. It's about $4800 direct from Japan without the usual importer fees (source: Audiocubes2). Similarly the P-1u is $3000 on US importer sites, while only $2100 direct from Japan.
You can get a Leben CS-600 from PriceJapan for about $4,400. The CS-660P will cost you $7,300 there as well.
just wild guess, for hp output I guess the cs600 and the cs300xs are more or less at the same level and which are better than the sq38u by a small margin
I will confirm this soon by directly comparing cs600 vs cs300xs and cs300xs vs sq38u in the hk distributor showrooms. They have sources worth of at least 10K USD, so I guess the amps could be fairly compared
