Accuphase amplifier choice

@dpac996 The P7500 is an incredible amplifier! SQ is insanely incredible but so is the build quality.  I can look at my Accuphase A-48S and my other Accuphase components all night long. Those knots and buttons feel great. Did I mention THE HEAT SINKS, these are the best I've seen! The champagne colour is subtle and changes with the lighting. Their amps are beasts in sheep's clothing 

@westcoastaudiophile , my decision is made with the P-4600. Waiting on some formalities now.

The T+A DAC200 showed me how 1 component can elevate the listening experience of the entire system. The Oppo that it replaced was good, but it was the one holding back the performance of the Rhumba and the ProAcs. The T+A released those 2 and that was when I decided to look for some serious amp. The Parasound A21 is a killer amp for the price. I have absolutely no complaints against it. But I think it is time for a change.

@milpai Congrats, buddy! Be prepared to fall in love with your audio system all over again. Like I said, Parasound is very good for the money, but with Accuphase you're entering a whole different dimension. I can only imagine how sublime the combination of Proac, Rhumba, T+A, and Accuphase will sound. 

Thank You @arafiq !

A few of you here, as mentioned earlier, got me turned to Accuphase. Till 2 years ago, I did not even consider the brand. And honestly I was looking to go to some Class D amps. Not that they are bad, but after going through user experiences and understanding the company's goal, I think I made the right choice.

Congrats on landing on Accuphase - they make wonderful products meticulously built by hand to impeccable standards that are both musical and very reliable.

They are privately owned and have a company policy of non-expansion, limiting production to 5,000 to 6,000 units per year - 70% of which are destined for the Japanese market.  They employ less than 100 people, 26 of whom are engineers.  Products are improved incrementally until they have enough change to release a new model every 5 or 6 years.

From the Accuphase website:

"One of the corporate principles that Accuphase has observed since its

beginning is the conscious decision not to pursue expansion. In a free economy,

most companies try to grow. However, demand is not unlimited. If we were to

chase the numbers, trying to sell more and more products and compete only on

price, we would lose our ability to create truly high-end audio components.

We therefore are not increasing our staff numbers (currently about 80, similar

to the time of the company's founding), in keeping with the principle of "small

numbers ‒ exceptional talent". Rather than trying to expand the scale of the

company, we believe in quality over quantity. We adhere to a low-volume

production schedule, building and marketing only about 5,000 units per year. But

with regard to the products that we are making, we passionately care about their

sound, their performance, their quality, and their design. We do not ship a

product unless it fully meets our exacting standards. This gives it lasting value

and ensures the excellent reputation of the Accuphase brand."
