Replace the Supratek Chardonnay with Accuphase?


Need your help to decide. I have the Supratek Chardonnay tube pre-amp paired with Accuphase A-60 power-amp. I was wondering if the Accuphase C-2410 pre would be a good replacement for the Chordanny?

Also, I have an Audionote DAC 3.1x Signature (unbalanced and moded) using the Marantaz CD-17 as the transport. I was thinking of replacing this pair with the Accuphase DP-500. your thoughts and suggetions appreciated.

Jay, to me the Accuphase sounds though fluid also a bit "slow" with plumpy bass. I have had the A-50V the A-60's predecessor.
My ICEpower based monoamps sound more transparent, dynamic and tighter in the bass. I don't say that the Accuphase is a bad amp, no in contrary, it is a very good amp, better than Mark Levinson and Krell!
