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.

It doesn't have anything with the parts. Face plate is pure
cosmetic. Simaudio still have parts for a models made in 1989.
That's good.
I am curious, why do you only consider these three brands? There are others. And we don't know anything about your sound and music preferences, and the rest of your system. Are you thinking about getting a new or used piece or it depends?
Hey there,

compared the Luxman to the Accuphase, and the latter was just so much better it was no contest.

Luxman is a good brand, but Accuphase is in a different league.

Never heard the moon though.

Honestly, I am still looking for an Integrated Amplifier
for my Carbon 7 speakers. I've tried with the Simaudio i3.3.
Sound was sterile. NAD M3 - Good bass but no highs.
In New York no chance to audition Bryston or Accuphase. By
the way price for Accuphase E-460 (13.5K)is comical.
I'm listening mostly smooth jazz and highs are my priority.
I know that it's not just amplifier important, also the
cables. Some people recommend Modwright KWI-200. I am trying
to stay away from tubes.
