Any Accuphase Amp owners...?
Any Accuphase Amp owners...?
Wanted to see if any Accuphase owners have had a chance to compare Accuphase (A) series and (P) series Amps. Appreciate any feedback on the sonic difference between the two series. Have access to all of the specs, can't seem to find any reviews actually comparing the two series. Thanks...

I have read wonderful reviews of the A amps but never heard one.
AC has a A30 demo for sale. You should ask your question to Mike or Ryan. Cheers, Jérôme

Found this answer from Accuphase (interview with dagogo.com) concerning their types of amps.
Q: I have always pondered upon the rationale for Accuphase to manufacture both class-A and class-AB amplifiers. Could you please share your position on the amplification classes with Dagogo’s readers? A: Many seasoned audiophiles consider the Class-A amplifier a priority in sound reproduction. It would be true in terms of sound quality of high speed sound pick-up, clear and precise atmospheric feels. Excellent dynamic can also be presented in Class-A amplification even at low level volume setting. In the meantime, Class-AB amplifier has a clear benefit at normal listening level, imparting vividness, liveliness, brightness and dynamic feel. As we consider it not a matter of superiority but the matter of preference for each listener, Accuphase offers audiophiles a wide selection, from Class-A to Class-AB operation, and from low power to high power amplifiers. All amplifiers employ Accuphase's MCS (Multiple Circuit Summing-up) system and Current Feedback topology. And yet, thanks to high-efficiency circuit design, to say nothing of Class-AB amplifiers, even our Class-A amplifiers generate very minimal amount of heat. When compared to a conventional Class-A amplifier, Accuphase feels cool.

Howie.......Thanks for the photos. Beautiful gear. This Accuphase system is fantastic. I would love to hear an Accuphase surround system set up like this.

Just one recommendation. Don't buy it in the US. Your prices are more than double what is paid in Asia, sometimes three times as much so it is worth buying grey  howie Here is a photo of the DP700 SACD player in my rack
