Pass....Accuphase....or......
I do not know why people use the phrase “too polite” while referring to Accuphase.   I have no idea what that means.  I have an E-800 and a C-2900/A-80.  They each sound great.    
Nearfield Low-Level Listening : New Speakers or EQ? Thoughts?
I have Harbeth 40.3 XDs, a pair of Rythmik E15HP2 subs and an Accuphase E-800. The sound is wonderfully lush, soothing full and detailed at low levels. I think the Harbeths are 85 db (not super efficient) but easy to drive with an impedance range ... 
Best Amplifier for LS3/5a
Accuphase Class A would be another good match.   
Will Accuphase E-800 be enough to power Klipsch La Scala speakers?
Plenty.  It easily powered my Harbeth 40.3 XDs which have an 86db sensitivity.  I am selling my E-800 with the companion AD-60 phono card for a very reasonable price. It was bought new this past summer. I loved the E-800 so much that I took a big ...

Thanks Guys!  
Speakers for low-level listening
I really like Harbeth 40.3 or SHL5XD for low to moderate listening volumes.  I had Focal Scala Utopia EVOs and prefer the Harbeths for moderate volume listening.   
Luxman L590AXii vs Accuphase E-650 for a Shindo lover
I have a perfect condition Accuphase E-800 with an AD-60 phono card for sale. I bought it new in July. It is a US/120v version. I loved the way it sounded so much that I jumped up to an Accuphase C2900/A80 combo. The E-800 sounds phenomenal with m... 
Thorens TD-1601 height with cover raised
Thanks DeKay.  That’s how I calculated it out.  Maybe an inch lower.   
$300-$500 Cartridge for Thorens TD-1601 Turntable
Slightly related question - hoping that someone with a TD-1600/1601 can answer.  What is the total height of a TD-1600/1601 with the cover fully open?   thanks  
!!! Harbeth M30.2 Xd,NOT Just Pipe & Slippers Speakers!!!
A lot of classic rock was mixed on speakers similar to Harbeth 30s.   
Anything SS sounds better than D'Agostino ?
But some of us do.   
Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD
I have a pair of 40.3XDs paired with an Accuphase E-800 and an Esoteric N-01XD streamer.  Both are connect to an Accuphase PS-530 and all are grounded with a Shunyata Altamira.  I am also running a pair of Rythmik E15HP2s. It is the most enjoyable... 
The Low Volume Loudness Dilemma
Class A Accuphase  and Harbeths are a great low volume combo.  It blows away my McIntosh tube gear with high-end Focals for 70db listening with fullness and ooomph.   And no fatigue.  In the 90+ eb range the Mac Focal sounded good, but it sounded ... 
Mcintosh mc451 mono - anybody use this new dual amplifier?
Exactly.  There is no substitute for American horsepower!  That being said, I am selling my MC3500s.  Great amps, but I am downsizing and don’t have the room for separates anymore.    
Mcintosh mc451 mono - anybody use this new dual amplifier?
That would probably be great!   The 1.2Ks even better since the 3500s put out a lot more than 350 watts.
