At last, it's here the Accuphase E530 integrated amp.
Wow, the packaging is first class. Accuphase really treat this baby well. The amp was covered with a cloth. Surprise that all the RCA connectors are provided with caps which I don't see it in any other equipment.
The remote is metallic. The weight of the machine is 28 Kg.
Really take me a while to setup.
Now is the listening test. As compared to my E206, cannot compared. Its totally a different class. The E530 after 15 minutes of warm-up had everything. The sound is so sweet, soundstage is really opened & lifeful. Its like the singer is singing infront of u. Bass is smooth. Its not rough. Its very pleasing. The detail is fanastic. U can really hear everything clearly as whatever that is record in the disc ( what I mean that the small detail is clearer ).
The machine feel warm. U can feel the warmness above 20 cm on top the cover but its not hot & u can still touch the cover.
Anyway, its really very good. A very great improvement in my sound. In term of detail, dynamic, bass, clarity, focus. Its had everything. The build quality is fanastic. This is what I mean hi-end. This amp can easily beat any of the pre-power outside easily.
Now, maybe I should think about upgrading my cable. Any recommendation ?
