ACCUPHASE DP85

I heard the Accuphase DP85 and it sounded very syrupy. While I am a dealer for other products, I was considering taking Accuphase on specifically because of their release of an SACD player, but I was extremely disappointed.

Kelly: First off, I do not sell a competing brand of SACD equipment. What I stated is my opinion and how I heard it.

Your guess is wrong about me being nixed as an Accuphase dealer. I never pursued the product because I do not like it. I think they make fine amplifiers, but their SACD gear leaves a lot to be desired (IMHO). Where you come up with this hyperbole is a complete mystery to me. Are you just making it up as you go?

If you want to make a personal opinion on the product, fine, but please do not personally attack me or my credibility. It shows poorly on you.

If you want to question my ears, look in the upcoming Stereophile and The Absolute Sound where most of the reviewers clearly picked the room I personally put together, where I hand picked each product, as the best sound ever heard at any show much if not anywhere else.

Kelly, are you affiliated in the audio business in any way... investment, do you represent, etc.?

My cards are on the tables, how about yours?

Audio_tweakers: Were you at the show? Did we meet? While I love the Audio Aero Capitole, your statement of "Much of the credit should go to the French made Capitole player" is a bit exaggerated. I think it played as important a role as the Tenor amps, the Jena Labs cables and the Hyperions. I carefully selected each peice to be used and they all are exceptional.

Best Regards,
