Simaudio versus Accuphase?

Thanks Bill, i believe i can get the A-70 and the c-2420 for the same price i paid for the sim gear at japanese prices. I am getting the same impression. I just never heard Accuphase, but looking forward to. The other issue is fitting in the quadraspire rack, hmmm.

Thank you all. It appears Accuphase is the overwhelming winner. I do enjoy Simaudio, but I am looking to have an amp to push a warm sound through the Ktemas. SimAudio's sound seems to sit back, but transparent. Has its place, but I am looking forward to listen to the A-70 and 2420 with the Ktemas. Thank you

I purchased the Accuphase A-70 along with the 3850. Yes, I can truly say this is a Maserati compared to the Hyundai. The Accuphase is making the Ktemas sing. Here is the crazy thing, I payed the same price for these two items as I did the 860a and 740p. Let me give simaudio it's credit. They make great components, but FS Ktemas are made for Class A and match very well. The moon always sounded to analytical. I made the right choice. Now I need to sale my moon gear. Anyone interested?

Wow, I posted this 8 years ago. Interesting posts...haha.....
