Accuphase preamps

My research tells me that their preamps have some of the most features of solid state designs. Also, I have heard them @ CES, they sound very good indeed.

My question is, will they mate up ok with other brands of amps.

Right now I have Bryston amps, and a BP6P preamp, and I'm not too crazy about getting a BP26 because of lack of features.

It also appears that Accuphase is the better design as well. Am I wrong?

Thanks.

Thanks Audiozen and Nvp. So, one A-46 is enough I take it. To get 2 is going over my budget, really...

By the way Dave_72..what speakers will you be using with
the A-46 if you decide to buy it?

Hi Audiozen,

I'm not sure yet! I'm looking at Focal Electra and Utopia as well as Canton Reference. I have yet to hear any of these.

Hi Dave,

I have some news.

Firstly, and more importantly, I have completely updated my Accuphase rig.
Initially I wanted an A-45 & C-2810 combo, but eventually I went for a A-45
& C-2410 together with a DP-600 SA-CD player.

Secondly, the C-2410 preamp has been discontinued. The new C-2420
preamp costs 13k euros here in Europe. There is nothing announce yet on the
Accuphase site, however, my source (i.e. my dealer) is very reliable.

Best wishes,
Paul

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the info! I will definitely wait it out for the new preamp to be released. I'm thinking January after CES, true?

How does your new rig sound? I'm having a difficult time finding a dealer that has both the C-2410-A-46 combo. The distributor tells me there's no dealers in California that have these units in tandem except for this one guy. And he just sold his last Accuphase demo amp. So, the CES setup (as I was told) is gonna be the A-200 amps and the C-3800 preamp! Quite a combo there! So, I'm definitely gonna go into their room and check that out! If you're able to go to CES, I hope to see you there!
