| Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation The Verity Audio Parsifal is one of the great speakers of the last 30 years - it was the first product that Verity Audio launched, and the Ovation is I believe the 4th of 5 iterations of that venerable design. I have owned the Parsifal Ovation si... | |
| what are the best sounding Accuphase or Luxman amps/preamps? Thx for the good news about the sound of Accuphase amps. I am in the process of purchasing Accuphase separates - a C-2450 preamp + A-48 amp. | |
| what are the best sounding Accuphase or Luxman amps/preamps? I am hoping that Accuphase separates will be a little better than their integrated amps... | |
| The pull of separates - Luxman M-10x vs. Accuphase A-48 power amps Thx. The Arindals replaced Verity Audio Parsifal Ovations which I will use in a second system as I don't want to part with them. With the closing of Verity Audio they have become that much more precious. I think that the A-48 is the way to go w... | |
| what are the best sounding Accuphase or Luxman amps/preamps? Many thanks - the M-10x looks like an amazing unit but likely overkill for my 93 dB speakers. I am leaning towards an Accuphase A-48 class A amp that is 45W into 8 ohms but doubles down all the way down to 1 ohm with a high damping factor 800. | |
| what are the best sounding Accuphase or Luxman amps/preamps? I have an E-260 in a secondary system driving Harbeth speakers and it is a wonderful integrated amp. It definitely punches above 'entry level'. I am leaning towards an A-48 amp for my main system to replace a Luxman L-595A class A integrated amp. | |
| what are the best sounding Accuphase or Luxman amps/preamps? I prefer SS - class A. I am considering the Accuphase A-48 amp which is rated at 45W at 8 ohms, 90 at 4 ohms, 180 at 2 ohms and 360W at 1 ohm. It has a high damping factor of 800. It is their smallest current production separate amp, but it is ... | |
| slide in phono stage for Accuphase C-2450 preamplifier - is it any good? Thx @lewm - you make some very good points. I have a MC cartridge and the Accuphase phono stage has MC load settings that are selectable from among 4 values “10Ω/30Ω/100Ω/300Ω” on the front panel of the pre-amp. I am sure that the optional Ac... | |
| slide in phono stage for Accuphase C-2450 preamplifier - is it any good? Fair enough - I think the two Accuphase phono stages are very similar, it is the general concept of a built-in phono stage that I am grappling with. I have owned two Luxman integrated amps (L-509u, L-595A) that have built-in phono stages - and th... | |
| slide in phono stage for Accuphase C-2450 preamplifier - is it any good? But given how Accuphase is meticulous in their design, engineering, and production, I am still wondering how the AD-2850 or AD-2900 perform in an Accuphase preamp such as the C-2450. | |
| what are the best sounding Accuphase or Luxman amps/preamps? For example C-2450 + A48, or C-10x + M-10x etc | |
| slide in phono stage for Accuphase C-2450 preamplifier - is it any good? Good point - thx. The slide in units are not inexpensive, and the choice of separates would be much greater. | |
| Looking for recommendations for integrated with a more “organic” sound. If you buy used and can stretch a bit you can consider Accuphase or Luxman integrated amps. | |
| Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation with Plinius Hautonga Sounds powerful enough - enjoy the music! | |
| The pull of separates - Luxman M-10x vs. Accuphase A-48 power amps Adding to the list of class A options would be the Luxman M-800f amp + C-800f preamp (they do appear periodically on the used market) as well as the new Accuphase E-800 integrated amp. |
