| Vinyl guy seeking recommendation for a top level cd player Thanks @billstevenson for the thoughtful follow up to your Luxman D-10x purchase. I bought a D-10x one year ago, and in my research prior to purchasing it I read this thread, so it is a treat to re-read it and digest the follow up by the op. I r... | |
| Nuisance tripping of AFCI circuit breaker by inrush of current when turning on amplifiers Here is an update - the electrician was just here. With a little troubleshooting he determined it was not my audio system at fault, but a faulty AFCI breaker. The Accuphase PS-1250 power supply with 2 mono blocks plugged into it draws 7.5 amps. ... | |

| AB testing of power regenerators?? Ever do it? I live in an old part of the core of a large city, and my power often has 5 or 6% THD, and sometimes as high as 8%. Dirty power indeed! I tried a PS Audio PP12 in my audio system and heard an instant benefit - darker backgrounds, improved dynamic... | |
| Pass....Accuphase....or...... @southofdallas I think @lanx0003 described Accuphase class A sound really well. I would add that Class A Accuphase amps have a wonderfully liquid midrange that pairs so well with Verity Audio's midrange excellence. | |
| Pass....Accuphase....or...... Accuphase is an interesting company which produces high quality components in small batches by hand to very high standards. They have limited their size and production volumes to 5,000 units and only have about 85 employees - 26 of whom are engin... | |
