Handling Heavy Amps
Well you have a point but I usually go with my gut instincts. I tried to convince myself that the Accuphase was not worth the additional cost but deep down I know it was the best amp I’ve auditioned and I really liked its sound characteristics. I ... 
Handling Heavy Amps
Had my Accuphase-P-4600 amp audition today. The amplifier is a beautifully designed component. Extremely well built  The sound was also beautifully musical with a wide and deep soundstage. The bass was very impactful. Actually the overall sound wa... 
Handling Heavy Amps
Just got back from my Bryston 4B3 audition It’s a very nice amp. It’s overall better than the AHB2 that I currently have. The Treble is more extended and a little smoother. The mid range a little more relaxed and laid back. The soundstage depth i... 
Accuphase Experiences
@vassilis_t    Thanks. The dealer will be using an Accuphase preamp, a Chord DAC and Harbeth Speakers. The A-80 is too big and heavy for my needs. Plus I prefer the A/AB line with more power.       
Accuphase Experiences
@vassilis_t  The only  consistent criticism of the Accuphase products sound is the while the upper and mid base is excellent the lower bass lacks impact. Did you find this to be true?  I will be testing this when I audition the P-4600 on Wednesda...

@ddafoe  Thanks for the information. I completely agree with your assessment of the AHB2. It is a really nice amp. So clean, quiet and super detailed. But I feel like I’m right in the front row or very close to the performance. Sometimes the deta... 
Aurender and MSB DAC Synergy
@brskie  Have a BNC cable available so you can try the clock out on the MSB connected to your N20 clock input. Makes a huge difference in sound.

@ddafoe  The ABH2 is light. What made you move from it?  Did go from it to the Class D?  
Handling Heavy Amps
@ddafoe      A lot of amps in 5 years and three of the four quite heavy. How did the AHB2 compare to the Bryston and Pass 150?  
Handling Heavy Amps
Just the Bryston on Monday.  Then the Accuphase P-4600 on Wednesday. Even though the dealer will deliver the 90 lb Pass that will just fit on my shelf seems really to big and heavy. However if both auditions leave me undecided I’ll go back and lis...

@velocityofhue    I agree but they are in another weight class. 88-100lbs.   
Aurender Conductor App Experience
Well I checked today. It was my imagination. It was late.  I was tired. With audio the mind can play tricks   
Aurender Conductor App Experience
Everything good today with iPad. Also switched the Discrete DAC output impedance to low and it’s much better with my amp. Significantly better.
