@westcoastaudiophile What do you mean "unethical"? I'm anonymous and everyone has a right to their own opinion.
I'm grateful to hear the responses here. Some people agreed and others provided insight.
Finally heard Accuphase
I heard it at T.H.E. Show last weekend.
I was pretty shocked at how bad they were. Of course there are many variables at a show, but they were in more than one room. The sound was so wishy-washy and vague and uninvolving I couldn't get past it.
And I was hearing stacks of like $50k ,75k worth. A $3k Sugden sounds about the same, if memory serves. Or even the $8k Yamaha. More or less. But to spend that money on these amps makes no sense. Just build your own tube amp for $1500.
Whats going on with this brand?
To be fair, I also heard a $300k system that sounded more or less like a good PA system at a small concert venue that costs like, IDK $10k or something. This stuff is making no sense anymore.

@fratbob Thanks for pointing out the incredible and layered soundstage depth produced by the Accuphase amps. While it's not the only amp that can show you layers, but IMO it is very special in the way it does it. This company has found the right balance between uncovering all the minute details while simultaneously being very musical and potent. |
