Accuphase amplifier choice

I have about 175 hours in the amplifier and it sounds a completely different amplifier than what I heard in the first couple of days.

The kind of control it has over my speakers still amazes me. The bass is super taut. Example is Boz Scaggs’s song Thanks To You. I used to be impressed by the bass that the Parasound presented. But compared to the Accuphase, I now realize how boomy the Parasound sounded in that section. There is so much definition and truthfulness in the Accuphase presentation - including the bass and drum “thwacks”. Another song I used to turn down at the final 2 minutes was the Beatle’s I Want You (She’s So Heavy). The music sounded “too much” and a bit shrill. No turning down business with the Accuphase. There is some “finesse“ that must be experienced that cannot be described. 
The sound stage was wide with the Parasound; but with the Accuphase it is ultra wide. The soundstage layering is something I had not experienced before. 
I am planning on upgrading the power cable now. Suggestions welcome.

I get exactly what you’re hearing and you summed it up nicely. The Accuphase doesn’t just control the speakers, it disciplines them, IME. That taut, truthful bass, once you hear that kind of finesse and layering, the “ultra-wide” soundstage is easily discernible. 

As far as power cords, I highly recommend 聖HIJIRI SM2R-L "SOUND MATTER" Power Cord. For context, I am using a full of 聖HIJIRI cables in my system. The SM2R-L will get you very close to flagship “TAKUMI” Maestro Power Cord at lower cost. These cords pairs beautifully with Accuphase, like two-peas-in-a-pod kind of synergy. 

Late to the party. I am confused about something. Why would you purposely buy an integrated amp when you already have and plan to keep a preamplifier? Seems like you are paying for a preamp section you don't need. Does Accuphase only make integrated?

If you go through the thread completely, you will realize that you have either not reached OR have reached at a different party 🙂Better hurry.....lol

@lalitk   Where did you get the 聖HIJIRI SM2R-L "SOUND MATTER" Power Cord?  A quick search says they're only sold in Japan and Poland.  What price range are they in?  From what I've looked at, I'd bet they're expensive.
