| BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS + for low level compensation, loudness switch, whatever you want to call it, I listen to most music at low levels and use this feature exclusively. It's a matter of implementation, I have found the compensation switch on my Accuphase Preamp to giv... | |
| All-in-One units for retiring audiophile & music lovers in 2025, say what? If not willing to accept a seperate streamer, I think I would also suggest Moon Audio. | |
| All-in-One units for retiring audiophile & music lovers in 2025, say what? Depending on what he may be willing to spend, I would suggest an Accuphase Receiver with dac module in the used marketplace. The only thing missing would be the streamer. Everything else would be there that we are all familiar with, from the glory... | |
| Solid state amp that tube fan can be happy with? I don't think I could totally remove my tube el34 amp from my system, but the Accuphase preamp and Class A amp that alternates in, gives me a pleasant option. It's a tough one, different, with excellent attributes, but both good in their own way. | |
| Accuphase Experiences Glad you are enjoying your new Accuphase, I consider my Accuphase preamp and Class A amp are my endgame system, but I still cant quite bring myself to get rid of my alternative tube receiver, which I like as well, especially with acoustic music. | |
| 2025 Audio System Wish List Time! I have been enjoying my digital upgrade with a Laiv Harmony R2R dac in 2024 and have the Laiv DDCu on order to come in early 2025. I am also enjoying some nos tube rolling with some borrowed telephunkin 12au7 tubes borrowed from a friend to try ou... | |

| DAC shopping - Trying to sift through the Hype. Can I trust the reviews these days ?? I have had my first R2R dac (Laiv) for a number of months, and I am very pleased with its overall presentation, it's quite organic compared to a number of delta sigma dacs that I have owned. Of the chip dacs I would say the burr brown chip in DSD ... | |
| ???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard??? I have been very pleased with Accuphase and consider it to be my ed game SS Preamp and Class A amp. The integrated are also excellent. I would look at something which fits your budget, definitely used, these are built like tanks. | |
| Physically Comfortable Headphones +1 Seinheiser, I currently enjoy the 600, light weight, padded ear pads, comfortable over longer listening sessions, I also have the hot ear problem and Seinheiser 600 open back seem to be the best for me. They do not have the big base your lookin... | |
| The Low Volume Loudness Dilemma +1 Accuphase loundness (compensation) switch for low volume. Great for background listening. | |
| The Allure of Vintage Audio Gear I think that being very busy raising a family with different priorities, I haven't had the opportunity to use my stereo gear as much in the past, and this has provided my gear with some longevity or as you noted vintage. These days, like it was in... | |
| The Allure of Vintage Audio Gear +1 Harmon Kardan 730, my receiver for 40 years. Never had the bug to upgrade until it died. Now I split the duty between a Cayin tube receiver and Accuphase SS preamp and Class A amp. | |
| IsoAcoustics GAIA I have an interesting story about these isolators on speakers. I was not in the market for such things until we happened upon a booth at the Toronto Hi Fi show where they had an A-B set-up with the exact same speakers, one set with these isolators... | |
| Amps that donโt impersonate space heaters. I have had a couple of Class A amps that run as hot as a small space heater. My currrent Class A amp from Accuphase runs very cool in comparison and is not an issue at all. Curious if others have had a similar experience. |
