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?
Accuphase amplifier choice
Hello All,
I have decided to upgrade my Parasound A21 amplifier looking for a more refined sound. The following are the amplifiers that I have in my mind:
Accuphase A-48s
Accuphase P-4600
Coda No. 8 (meterless)
Coda 16.0 (meterless)
Currently I am leaning largely to Accuphase. My dealer says that the Class A 48s will sound better with my ProAc D48R. But I am worried that I will lose dynamics since the Accuphase is only 50W into 8 Ohms. But it doubles all the way into 1 ohm.
The P-4600 is a higher wattage amp and I think it should be able to drive the D48R with ease because it doubles down to 2 ohm load. So I am not concerned with it's ability to drive the ProAcs.
I do have some feedback on the P-4600 from another thread here and appreciate it. But now looking for some comparisons.
Has anyone compared/experienced the Accuphase Vs Coda amplifiers? Any feedback is appreciated.

@lalitk Where did you get the čHIJIRI 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. |
