Are Accuphase preamps "dull" sounding ?


I have just bought an Accuphase DP55V CDP and enjoying it a lot (please check the rest of my system).

I am thinking of getting an Accuphase preamp but had not find a lot of ink on them (at least not to the same extent of their digital products), and wondering why?

Are they dull sounding?
Is it because they come with "tone controls"? .. (ouch!!)

Thanks for your valuable feedback.

I have had 2 Accuphase preamplifiers, C-265 and C-2000 (still my preamp), and have been delighted with them !
In my case, associated with Accuphase amplifiers, like the P-7000 now.

Very musical, warm and precise.

Accuphase is still among the best electronics in the world !
Except, maybe, for many Americans, who have the tendency to overpraise the brands of their country...
Ok Jafox !
Maybe was it just an impression of mine ?

I just notice, maybe not here, at Audiogon, that 80% of American people keeps speaking and comparing Krell with Audioresearch, Lamm with Spectral, etc etc
It's not often I see brands like Accuphase, Burmeister, Audio Net,Zingali, etc named.
Of course, it happens, but not as often as it deserves, to my opinion, and by far !

That's all !
And quite normal, on such a big market with so many good american brands.
It's the same in every field with Americans ! hehe !
