@d2girls - you will get much better treatment and pricing from the Accuphase dealer in Montreal. See my message to you regarding what I was quoted.
Can someone explain to me why : Accupahse Equipment is that expensive ?
…….I was recently looking into their Power Conditioners as well as their Amplifiers and for a company where there is very little reviews done on their products, along with a small ( here in the US anyway ) almost a cult following if someone could tell me why is their prices the way they are. I just don't understand it. I have listened to their equipment and is nice and the build quality is very good but ; I always said to myself ; '' Not for that price ". I do not mean to be in an any way inflammatory with this statement but is : Accuphase the McIntosh of the East ? McIntosh makes some nice stuff but is no way priced like Accuphase, however it seems to operate very much with the same business model ; you are paying for the name and the pride of ownership and the sound is very much dated. Maybe I am missing something here and the sound is very good and like Rolex you buy a piece and you are set for a lifetime. FM Acoustics is also another one of the those companies......Just looking for a really good amp and these companies come up in my search but I am just sitting here scratching my head ?

mijostyn ... When I worked for an ultra-high-end dealer, one of the lines we carried was Accuphase. I was allowed to take just about anything home that wasn’t too heavy to carry and get into the car. Among my favorite products were the Accuphase CD players. I compared them to every CD player in the store in my own home environment. The Accuphase players, even the least expensive in the line, blew away everything else I tried, including the most expensive offerings from Wadia and Goldmund. Plus, as an additional bonus, everything Accuphase makes is built like a tank, not to mention beautiful to look at as well. And by the way, the main man at the distributor level for Accuphase at the time was a man whose name was Art Manzanas. Art was a great salesman and a true gentleman in every sense of the word. I always looked forward to Art coming into the store for his occasional visits. Frank |
