Accuphase E-460 vs Luxman 509u vs Moon 700i


Hello
Did anyone had opportunity to compare these three Integrated
Amplifiers. The Accuphase is more noble one but does it sounds
better then Simaudio or Luxman.

Hi Kiza, I haven't heard these amps, but I suspect the Accuphase would be the warmer of the 3, along with the Lux, however the Simaudio is also a warm sounding amp. I love Accuphase & would be tempted by the E-460, but the Simaudio is just plainly better. It is a zero negative feedback dual mono design (the other two are not), is more powerful, has higher damping (easily doubles down to 350watts@4ohms), is quieter, faster, has a superior volume control & is just a superior circuit design imho. Hope that assists!
Read another thread about Simaudio refusing to take care of their out of production models.
Inna, maybe post a link to the thread you were referring to? as that could be a help to other members as well. Kiza you could also look at the Unison Unico 100 which is a valve hybrid integrated operating in dynamic Class A. Unison amps sound warm & very musical. Circuit design and build quality are also excellent.
