Hi folks,
I’ve decided to get the Accuphase, and just a few hours ago received the Accuphase C-2150 preamp without auditioning. It took about two months, but worth a wait. To me it’s better than Luxman-c900u, and the “sterility in sound” is a Luxman thing, Accuphase doesn’t have that, very smooth, addictive sound. Tried with my BAT tube and solid state amps, also Audio Analogue Donizetti Anniversary power amp, with Nordost Heimdall 2 interconnects and Acoustic Zen Gargantua II power cords. In a couple of days I think it will sound better.
Surely, whatever I said about its sound is just my opinion, nothing more, and I don’t pretend to be some “golden ear” person, so if somebody gets excited, please do not start playing arguing card, to each his own.
I have the picture in my system page.
