Final Retirement Amplifier-Class A-Upcoming Gryphon Essence Stereo vs Accuphase A75
For moderate sound levels you may also consider Accuphase newer amplifiers A-48 (Class-A) or P-4500 (Class-AB). These are using the same input amplifier stage as expensive A-75, and therefore have excellent noise and speed characteristics. In inte... 
Accuphase C2420 + A47
I have paired Accuphase P-4500 with C-2420, and found sound is absolutely warm, air-trasparent, and basses dense. I am using Accus to drive custom 3-way 8Ohm speakers, 30..25000 Hz, 89dB/m, and less than 1% distortion. New P-4500 design seems is v...
