Luxman vs. Accuphase

Hi Paul, when will the E-600 be released? At CES? Also, have you heard anything about the A-65 being replaced by a new model?

I got a statement from an audiophile friend in AU... Says the Luxman has a warmer tone and the Accuphase is purer and sweeter.

Could it be agreed with that the Lux is warmer sounding than the Acc?

He also says the Acc is better to his ear but of course that is subjective --and stated as so. But the other part of the statement seems to be a real world/tangible/observable difference that should be able to be corroborated.

Dave, I have answered your question in a PM.

Bvdiman, it is funny to see how some products receive awards the moment they are released...

Jriggy, the few times I have listen to Luxman electronics they give me the impression they do not sound as full as Accuphase. Some may like that while other may not. Also, it could have been the speakers and/or room that gave me that impression - I have never compared the two in the same room with the same speakers.

Hi Paul,

I have replied to your PM. Thanks.
