Need Opinion on Accuphase E-202


Seriously considering above unit on eBay, but hesitant.

Have read mostly glowing reviews and have confidence in the quality of construction and sound, but am afraid of cost to clean up and calibrate and its longer term maintenance cost, especially because I read how arrogantly independent Accuphase west coast authorized dealer seems to be.

Are these units really dependable?

Can anyone recommend an able technician in the Portland / Seattle corridor?

The E202 is sonically a stunner I own a E202 and LOVE it. Have a dealer in Toronto Canada service while not cheap is simple by my techs admission

Thanks. I did buy the E-202 and it is definitely the best I have had yet. Had a cleaning done in Portland and subsequently a little problem with static remaining on one of the push buttons. The tech did not want to re-clean it. This really disappointed me since it was the third piece of gear I had in there and despite a 30 day warranty, he flatly refused to look at it again. Nevertheless I am really happy with the E-202, but now I am back on the perpetual hunt to find the next "best" one.

Would the newer E213 be better sounding that this unit E202 ?
