Adding an Accuphase A-46

Well, read up on the A-46. It's more powerful and has more current delivery. More capacitance and bigger transformer and higher damping factor as well. Also, it can be bridged for even more power.Plus, it goes to 360 wpc into 1 ohm.

So therefore, I would say adding the A-46 is a good idea if you can afford it. It would go great with the E-560 as a preamp. The E-560 as a preamp is close to the C-2410. I got my sights set on Accuphase (A-46 and C-2420)myself. Great build quality, made in Japan, and excellent sound. Very hard to dislike.

It will make a difference because it will handle transients better.

You're welcome, Classact. Yeah, you could sell the E-560 and get a different preamp. But I don't see going through that hassle as the E-560 makes an excellent preamp.

I talked to one of the guys from the Accuphase factory at CES last week, and he highly recommended the A-46. He said it doesn't give up that much sound-wise to the A-65 and A-200. At a much more advantageous price.

I wish I could have asked him about your situation, but that's life.

You can always email them via their form or email the US distributor, Mr. Menzano.

Food for thought for you.

Ok Paul, how do you know:

The E-560 as a preamp is inferior.

The A-46 will not go much louder, when the Accuphase representative told me it would.

The P-6100 is a better choice than the class A power amps when listening to large orchestras and big bands.

Hi Paul,

I am not irritated and upset in the slightest. I just was wondering how you formed your opinions. Too many here on the internet just talk a bunch of trash without real life experience with the product.

Having said that, I appreciate your thorough and detailed explanation.

Getting back to Class A and Class A/B, if the differences between A and A/B are not the significant, then why Class
A. It certainly sounds better to me!

No problem! You're welcome! Yes, keep doing the research and auditioning. Don't rush in too quickly. You can get burned that way.
