| Six month review of Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme 1.4 @audibleguy , Congratulations. I own this one in my system. I have used a Mazda NOS tube and loved it. Currently using a pair of Raytheon 5814 and love it. The beauty of this preamp is that it responds so well to tube changes. Have fun! | |
| Accuphase amplifier choice @westcoastaudiophile , Thank you for your inputs and passion for this brand. You along a few others have not only converted to Accuphase-phile, but I am glad that this community has some seasoned Accuphase users who have provided me personal opin... | |
| Accuphase amplifier choice @lalitk Thank for the PM. I have responded. @arafiq , Thank you for letting me know. And I know that you are in Texas which is much warmer than Ohio. So heat should have been a bigger concern for you than me. And yes, we did discuss about Accupha... | |
| Accuphase amplifier choice @audphile1 , both are in the range and hence pulling the hair. Not to be anal about it, but I was also checking the cost of electricity to run the amps based on their power specs A48S: Idle = 200W In accordance with IEC62368-1 = 220 W Stand-by =... | |
| Accuphase amplifier choice @toronto416 Thank You! Folks, it is just as they say - curiosity killed the cat. I found a video of ProAc K10 being driven by Accuphase E800 during the Bristol 2023 Hifi here.And the songs they are playing is my type of genre (Dire Straits is my ... | |
| Accuphase amplifier choice 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 us... | |
| Accuphase amplifier choice @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 on... | |
| Accuphase amplifier choice @dpac996 , you still have kids at home - why would the P-7500 be your final standalone amp I wish you a healthy long life. Congratulations on the P-7500. Would love to see it in your system - if you can post a pic. But thanks for the feedback. I ... | |
| Accuphase amplifier choice @milpai My speakers are 88 db @ 4 ohms, so even less efficient than yours. My A-80 has zero trouble driving them. In fact, it drives them better than my previous Vitus amp which was a behemoth. @arafiq , I did not realize that. Nevertheless the... | |
| Accuphase amplifier choice @arafiq After watching many videos, going though a ton of user reviews, posing tons of questions to AI (including my room setup, speakers, ancillary equipment, listening habits, room treatments, etc) and pulling my leftover hair I saw that most us... | |
| Accuphase amplifier choice Conclusion: Accuphase’s Class A amps are genuinely Class A within their rated range — not just “high-bias AB.” Their engineering and thermal performance confirm that. However, they’re designed sensibly so that they can exceed that range without di... | |
| Accuphase amplifier choice @fire_water , @westcoastaudiophil, I posed this question to AI and below is the response: Short answer: Yes, Accuphase’s “Class A” amplifiers (like the A-series, e.g. A-48, A-75, etc.) are true Class A designs within their rated power range — bu... | |
| Accuphase amplifier choice @fire_water You can use bananas no problem. Good to know - thanks @westcoastaudiophile @milpai +1 "I would go with an Accuphase Class AB amp rather than a Class A amp" As you would know, this is true purely for my not-so-efficient spea... | |
| Accuphase amplifier choice @fire_water , Thank You for posting your experience. You have one heck of a room and setup. Very warm and inviting. And if I had the 2 speakers that you mention in your post, then the A-48S would be the amp I would have instantly purchased. I am ... | |
| Accuphase amplifier choice @toronto416 , I have read that review @lalitk got your PM and PM also sent. |
