Differences between Accuphase C-2820 and C-3800?
Bvdiman, please report back after you have tried the Accuphase PS units. I am very interested to hear your findings. Renjy651, the A-46 power amp has two Nichicon capacitors of 47k micro Farads each. Also, they are 85 Celsius degrees not 105. What... 
Raidho D1/C1.1 vs Dynaudio C1 vs Magico Q1
Raindog031, I do not see the point(s) you try to make about subwoofers. First, while your friend who played at the Vienna philharmonic may know very well how classical music should sound, he may know very little about how rock (country, pot, metal... 
Differences between Accuphase C-2820 and C-3800?
Labo, congratulation for the new C-2820 pre-amp and thanks for sharing your experience with us. I should say that what you have reported (i.e. the C-2820 being much better than the C-2410) is very much in line with my recent experience. I have rec... 
Differences between Accuphase C-2820 and C-3800?
Audiozen, sorry for my very late reply. I too am glad the spirits have calmed down. Communication between people (both verbal and in writing) is a difficult thing. Debates like this often happen between passionate individuals. :) Even though somet... 
Why are subwoofers so polarizing?
I do not think there is a simple answer to the original question. IMO there are many reasons. First, my feeling is that initially many speaker manufactures had very little understanding (if any) about the interaction between a sub, room and main s... 
Avantgarde Duos: Omega or Mezzo?
Indeed, the speaker position in the room that yields the best bass response will very rarely, if ever, also yield the most natural midrange, and the best sound stage and stereo image. However, that is very very true for normal speakers, i.e. drive... 
Vivid speakers Giya G3 and Oval K1
The Giya G3 is certainly a nice speaker. How much nicer than the Oval K1 I can not say as I have never heard the K1s.I should also say that IMO the Giya G3 is not worth it retail price of 28k euros. I had the Giya G3 in my system for a week and I ... 
Room size and electronics Vivid Audio Giya G1
Thanks for the suggestion Drubin. Unfortunately, I'm from Europe. (Next week I will be in Nashville Tennessee but I do not think it will be a good idea to bother the guy. I will not give him my business. :) ) 
Room size and electronics Vivid Audio Giya G1
Thanks for the reply Audiooracle. It is certainly very possible that the G1s will overwhelm my room. That is why I started this thread. I will try to listen the speakers in home before buying them, but I am not sure if that would be possible. Whic... 
Accuphase DG-48
Hi ChristianI do not have experience with the Accuphase DG-48 room correction system, but I do have experience with its predecessor, i.e. the DG-38 unit. I am extremely happy with my DG-38 and I highly recommend it. IMO such units should be mandat... 
Accuphase C2800 or C2810 ?
The C-2800, C-2810 and C-2820 preamps from Accuphase belong to the same family, i.e. all three are based on the same circuit/design. Furthermore, as it is usually the case with Accuphase, the improvements from one generation to the other are incre... 
Dynaudio C1 II vs Focal Micro BE vs Harbeth SHL5
Hi Michaelkingdom, I remember we talked about setting up the Focal Utopia Micro Bes when you got them, but somehow I missed this thread. I stumbled on it just now. I would like to make two comments:1) One often reads that the Focal Utopia Micro Be... 
Differences between Accuphase C-2820 and C-3800?
Audiozen, do not worry about typos we all type in hurry. (Plus English is not my first language, so I do not always pick up on them and often make many myself.)Now, my knowledge of circuit boards is certainly limited, but it does not come from int... 
Differences between Accuphase C-2820 and C-3800?
I have never said the C-2820 is a minor update over the C-2810. Only that the difference between them can not be qualified as a quantum leap. (The C-2800, C-2810 and C-2820 pre-amps belong to the same family and the differences between them are in... 
Differences between Accuphase C-2820 and C-3800?
Audiozen, First, I have actually read the user manuals of the C-2810 and C-2820 (also of C-2800) pre-amps, and also compared the guts of these pre-amps based on what it is written in the manuals. The three pre-amps are part of the same family and ...
