What to expect if I import an amp and preamp from a Japan seller via US eBay
I have purchased a Accuphase intergrated from Japan off of ebay. My experience was supurb! The unit was sent via Fedx and they handled all the customs for me. Once the amp arrived at customs, I called a fedx agent and everything was handle by them...

upgrade path from my current speakers? (Dynaudio Special Forty)
Regarding Buchardts, I have owned the s400 and now own the 400SE. There is a clear difference in the sound between the two. The 400 is a warmish-sounding speaker, whereas the 400SE is more neutral. The 400 has a laid-back treble the SE is more for... 
upgrade path from my current speakers? (Dynaudio Special Forty)
Alone, I own both dyn 40’s and kefls50 metas. The metas are world class IMO. However, the dyns are a better speaker, PROVIDED, you have some horsepower to drive them. The more juice you give them, the better they sound. I have several amps, like A... 
upgrade path from my current speakers? (Dynaudio Special Forty)
Funny you mentioned the sound of the special 40. I went through the exact same scenario. Found a good deal on a pair of Heritage speakers. I had  them awhile but they just did not engage me like my 40’s I sold th Heritage and bought an another pai... 
Accuphase E380 or E4000 integrated amp important from Japan
I think that might have been me. If it is the dealer that will switch the voltage to 120V you need not have any worry. My amp came brand new( not one finger smudge) and shipped in 4 boxes. I took the top off and there is no sign of any modificatio... 
Eversolo dmp A6 vs Master edition vs Z8
Chuke076, I never got the cd ripper to work, with both the standard and the master. I even purchased the cd burner Eversolo supposedly used for testing. Until they fix it, I just burn to iTunes, and drop and drag to Eversolo. Hopefully they will g... 
Eversolo dmp A6 vs Master edition vs Z8
Musicclover1,   I am not sure why there would be a difference. I just know it is very noticeable. Even the base sounds different on the Master. The regular solo, has a more punchy bass, whereas the Master is more laid back with what I would call... 
Eversolo dmp A6 vs Master edition vs Z8
I have compared both as a streamer and the master is clearly better in my system. The master is more warm, and refined sounding, it has a more refined sound, slightly more laid back compared to the standard,  
Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD
If coins are an issue you might look into a Hegal 390 or 590. Pass definitely has a tubish  midrange, especially the 60. Ive owned the 60 and now have the 250. I also own the Hegal 380, Mac 352 and Accuphase 380. The 380 is a very neural sounding ... 
anybody upgrade from Dynaudio Special 40 to Heritage Special?
Just sold my HERITAGE and downgraded?, back to the special 40’s. The Heriatage were too much for my room. they sounded very forward to the point they were hard to listen to.I’m not saying they are bad speakers. They just did not work in my environ... 
"Can You Lift Yours?"
I have a Pass 250 at 106 pounds as well as 3 other amps, I swap from time to time.  I use a hydraulic lift on wheels to move it. I jack the lift up to my rack and slide the pass on to it and roll it into another room. Im 69 and heavy lifting is o... 
LOUDNESS COMPENSATION EITHER IN AN EQUALIZER OR LOUDNESS CONTOUR CONTROL IN AN AMPLIFIER
If you get the shitt Loki max you will have remote control and 3 presets. You can make an adjustment for low listening, then save it. They have a 15 day trail so you can try is first for a minimal restocking fee. I dont need to use mine much , but... 
what amplification are you running with your Dynaudio Heritage Specials?
Running mine with a Pass 250 integrated. Glorious midrange and deep bass. Nice upgrade from my special 40’s, which are awesome speakers.
