Differences between Accuphase C-2820 and C-3800?
Full Accuphase system driving the late F.Serblin's last masterpiece Ktema : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnQ7MzjOotE 
Power Cable for PSA Perfectwave MK2
Tried many costlier AC cords, but on their units, found still best to use their own. I'm using AC-12s to my Power Plant-1200 and PPP. Most even/balanced tonal overall ~ clean, quiet, full sounding. Perhaps for Perfectwave, the AC-10 would suffice.

Differences between Accuphase C-2820 and C-3800?
Dave,When I bought my 268, CHF rate was about .90c to the dollar, so @CHF110k paid $100k. They have since increased the rrp a little and with current exchange, a friend paid $128-130k for his just a couple of months ago. Unlike most other brands, ... 
Differences between Accuphase C-2820 and C-3800?
Nvp, was curious because with A-200s there are 2 set of speaker outputs per mono amp as well, but no select switches to be found. Well, perhaps more for bi-wiring / bi-amping purpose in this case I assume?Classact, thanks for your feedback!Re : Ac... 
Differences between Accuphase C-2820 and C-3800?
Hi Classact, interesting.. In so doing, do you use switch or manually? - as I don't recall seeing any A/B speaker select switch in most of their recent amps. My vintage integrated (E302 - '80s) did have them though. What cabling (IC, SC, PC) you u... 
Best speaker cable for focal scala utopia
With Focal and Class-A amps, the Siltech Royal Signature line will be hard to beat, imo. (A friend has similar system as yours, and he had tried lots).The natural/organic quality they consistently infused to music is just plain addicting. As alway... 
Any bad experience with wilson audio sasha w/p?
Ergady : "With my WP's if everything was just so, including the recording, they were absolutely fantastic. But, ultimately I decided that they emphasized flaws to the detriment of my musical enjoyment."_____________________________________________... 
Differences between Accuphase C-2820 and C-3800?
Quote : "I considered the A-65 but it doesn't have two speaker outputs, which is what I need. So it'll be the A-46 for me."____________________________________________Hi Classact, are you using the A-46 as yet? If so, did you find bi-wiring them w... 
Difference between Energy 22, and Reference 22?
Around mid 80's I traded my ML CLSII for the Ref.Connoisseur 22. Wanted change, after 2yrs, I switched to the then new Maggie IIIa - a move which I recalled I regretted a little - for overall, still preferred Energy for the most of my music then (... 
Tannoy Westminster amp matching question.
Mikedimitrov,I agree TWs do need power, but not necessarily - more better. In my case I've tried most VTLs of that era ('85-'95) - from 100w-500watters. While their Ichibans (EL34s 200w triodes) works superbly, their own 90w (WE 300Bs) kill it, si... 
Magico S5 review
Usermanual,Was actually just aligning my thoughts with Knghifi impressions of TAD and his usage/choice of words.Heck, anyway don't listen to measurements, nor to what reviewers have to say anymore. My musical enjoyment is sole goal, hence use my e... 
Magico S5 review
02-06-13: KnghifiStereotaipei, they are detailed and high resolution but lay back and a bit mellow compare to Tad and Vivid where it's more aggressive in your face.____________________________Knghifi, did you actually mean to say?...Magico - contr... 
Siltech 330L or 770L?
Rfogel8, yup for various reasons we each have to draw our own line somewhere. Were it not for the additional substantial cost, I too would have like to go further up the chain myself.That said, as I am also contemplating to going back the full FMA... 
Siltech 330L or 770L?
Used their D/A converter in early '90s. Later.. JP80, JA80, JA200.If budget permits, better to invest straight in the 770L. It will give you enough headroom for when your system evolves. Probably even, the last SC you will ever need. Good luck.
