Anyway, I would say Accuphase beats McIntosh too. But McIntosh is probably better value for the money as the prices here in the US are not nearly as high as Accuphase is. However, if you want the best build and performance, go with Accuphase. Even if it's the entry level stuff.
How about Mac and Accuphase
I have a Mac 220 preamp and an Accuphase A20 power amp, great synergy with dual concentric Tannoys. I will always have the A20, it has a very sweet sound. If I could afford it, I would replace the Mac preamp with a used Accuphase C2800 or C2810 with phono. Mac makes nice gear, Accuphase is much better built, though. Too bad that the North American Accuphase is so greedy, the prices in Japan are less than half, too bad that the voltage is 100 and that the Asian units are champagne gold.
Has anybody ever imported a Japanese Accuphase and converted the unit to 120V?
