ACCUPHASE DP85

Kelly: First off, I do not sell a competing brand of SACD equipment. What I stated is my opinion and how I heard it.

Your guess is wrong about me being nixed as an Accuphase dealer. I never pursued the product because I do not like it. I think they make fine amplifiers, but their SACD gear leaves a lot to be desired (IMHO). Where you come up with this hyperbole is a complete mystery to me. Are you just making it up as you go?

If you want to make a personal opinion on the product, fine, but please do not personally attack me or my credibility. It shows poorly on you.

If you want to question my ears, look in the upcoming Stereophile and The Absolute Sound where most of the reviewers clearly picked the room I personally put together, where I hand picked each product, as the best sound ever heard at any show much if not anywhere else.

Kelly, are you affiliated in the audio business in any way... investment, do you represent, etc.?

My cards are on the tables, how about yours?

Hi Cornfedboy,

Rather than attack JTinn's opinion you have called him a liar. No place here for that!

I'm certain that you weren't intending to liable him. Right?

Clearly you feel his opinion is wrong, stupid, ill guided or malicious. But, unless you know him to be a liar, bad idea to be making such accusations.

I have respect for both of you and wish to continue to do so.

I know that you're a lawyer and you know I'm an actuary, so accept my apologies for giving you legal advice.

Best wishes,

Bill E.

jtinn has offered a lot of good (and free!) advice to me and others on this board. he regularly endorses products he doesn't sell and is pretty objective about those he does. lighten up, CFB.

I do not post on this board but I do enjoy reading the threads. I do not understand the hostility towards JTinn. I have spoken with him on numerous occasions and found him to be nothing but a gentleman. I have asked his opinions of brands that he carries and of those he does not. He has often times made recommendations of gear he likes but does not represent. I have never felt like he was steering me towards a certain brand because he carries it. I personally respect his opinion over most I read on this board. This is suppose to be entertaining and educational. I think many have forgotten this.

let us not get personal. why has the dp85 not attracted any attention as the separates combo,it is a newer model so the innards shud be the same or better than 100/101.does the accuphase convert dsd to pcm before output./sunil
