| Purchasing from Japan Hi Muziekliefhebber, Congratulations on your E-600! These Accuphase components are just amazing. From the iconic look, its top-notch fit and finish, and the sublime sound, Accuphase kit is just spectacular. I bought the Accuphase DAC module fro... | |
| Beyond Ayre Pass and Rowland greginnh, I just installed both modules, the DAC and the AD-30 phono module. My usual DAC is a Modwright Oppo105D, it's been fun to compare the two. Both are phenomenal, but different. It's a little redundant, but now listening to streaming fro... | |
| Beyond Ayre Pass and Rowland I've always had decent gear, NAD, Cambridge Audio, etc. Then I had a Luxman integrated that sounded great but never quite had the oomph to really drive my ATC SCM 19's. I sold that and replaced it with a Calyx The Integrated. Class D, precise, nic... | |
| Tonearm/cartridge is a theramin. Suggestions? I just thought I'd conclude this thread in case anyone reads through it for a similar problem. The problem was a hobby light! Plugged in on a different circuit, and switched off! This cheap, terribly designed, piece of junk threw off just a shocki... | |
| Accuphase DA-40 I just installed a DAC-40 module in my E-470. I ordered it from the eBay seller iseshima_japan. It was $1,120, delivered DHL and I was shocked at how fast it arrived, like three days! This is what would be called a grey market purchase, and I've a... | |
| Purchasing from Japan inna, I appreciate the question. In this particular case I assume that the product was not obtained illegally. Of course, that is an assumption. And I understand that this sale might seem like it would take the same sale away from a U.S. author... | |
| Purchasing from Japan Accuphase DAC-40 in the slot! I'm shocked at how fast it arrived. Nicely boxed by the eBay seller, the inner Accuphase packaging was itself a work of corrugated origami art: a gem of a circuit board inside. I couldn't be more happy with this trans... | |
| Would owning Hoover Dam improve the midrange? New power pole? Sheesh amateur.... Next week construction begins on my very own nuclear pile! And it will be replete with the best volume control possible. Pull the graphite control rods out for more sound, push 'em in for late night sessions.... ... | |
| Purchasing from Japan Well, it will be interesting to see how it goes. I think this IS a grey market item, the seller seems to specialize in a variety of expensive items, from watches to accurate scales to Japanese audio. But, all indications seems positive. I bought t... | |
| Purchasing from Japan Hey, good information. I'm always thankful to have this community to tap into! The eBay seller is iseshima_japan. I went ahead and ordered it. He was quick to follow with a tracking number so I'm optimistic! | |
| First "audiophile" system, now what? Suggestions for best "bang for the buck" upgrade? ewilley, You have been given a lot to think about in the above posts, for sure! I would add the fabulous Spin-Clean record system for about $100. Then try to find the right dish drainer (I bought a cool bamboo one at Target) to finish air drying y... | |
| Accuphase DA-40 Hi Daniele, Did you buy one? What did you think? I just purchased an E-470 and am thinking about that module too. I'm waiting on the delivery of the phono board.Thanks! | |
| McIntosh There was a time when I would have loved to have owned a great piece or two of McIntosh gear; I am a sucker for those glowing meters. Even more than McIntosh, I lust the look and build of Accuphase components. And tomorrow, my Accuphase E-470 gets... | |
| Tonearm/cartridge is a theramin. Suggestions? This 'table has an incognito wired arm and indeed it does have a ground wire. Disconnected it's way more pronounced,,,, | |
| Why are record cleaners so expensive? Hey All! I just bought a used Audio Desk Systeme for $2,300 off ebay and.... Wow. I've had a trusty Spin-Clean for years now and the Audio Desk is really amazing. I'm just now listening to an old '80's Jean Luc Ponty album that I recently bought a... |
