My new Accuphase 408 is lacking ......

Are you now satisfied with the outcome? Did the unit come with its own interconnects? I remember my #65 had a horrible interconnect in its box. Looked impressive but killed the sound. Replaced it with a silver interconnect and the unit blossomed.

I have changed the Power cable to anaconda and the the interconnect to Van den haul, no change in the sound, Ill go for the speakers now, I am intending for a proac D25 instead of the NHT 2.9, thanks folks any way I started to feal cursed.........

hi Hraouf11,

any update on the performace of the E-408?

Thanks

Finally the sound has improved, i started to listen to music for the first time in years, special tks to "F1fanatic" as he recommended Kimber Bi-focal speaker cable to be used with Kimber 1130 Ic . The sound has improved by miles, i am astonished about how cables can change the sound that much, bear in mind that i was using Van den-hul the first and 102B which is an expensive cable and IC as well. I can now confirm with confidence that the improvment of the system sound as result of changing the cables and Ic is much more than the improvment from upgrading the amplifier from accurus d100 to Accuphase E408 which is four times the price of the accurus ???
