Accuphase E-470


Hi I am looking at a Accuphase e-470 for sale ,but it is a Japanese model so will need a transformer to power it to our AC, is there any problem with using a transformer.Any opinions on the amp would be helpful. I am using a Prima Luna Hp integrated amp with KT 150 tubes,& Focal 1028 BE speakers, I find that at lower volume it does not have much punch. I have to turn it up to sound good, I am thinking a good SS amp give me more at lower volume, Any other suggestions on integrated amps new or used under 5k ? Thanks Lloyd.

Hi yes I have the PL hp now . The focals are 4 ohms but upscale audio said to try them on the 8 ohms tap but was afraid to do that , why would you want to do that and is it safe , I would like an answer to that , I would like to try it if itโ€™s safe , thanks again for your help , Lloyd
