I would consider the E-650 for your O/93, maybe a small class A separated combo.

But this is probably a discussion for another thread
Thanks!... I decided for E-800...

Hi All,

I have purchased an Accuphase pre-amp and am attempting to integrate it into a Home Theatre config. When I had me E-470 I used the EXT-PRE function which looked to operate as a HT Bypass and I could run sound from my AV Receiver through the E-470 and use my Hifi Left and Right speakers in a 5.1 AV config. Since moving to Accuphase separates C-2820 and A-47 combo I am unable to get the EXT-PRE function on the C-2820 to operate in the same way...no sound through left and right when running the signal from the AV receiver through EXT-PRE on the C-2820. Am I doing something wrong, should the C-2820 run in the same way as the E-470 from this perspective. Kinda scratching my head as to why I cannot get this to work. If I run the AV through line 3 on the C-2820 I get sound, just nothing when EXT-PRE is used.

Any help appreciated and thanks in advance.

EXT-PRE on E-470 is the direct input to the internal power amp.
EXT-PRE on preamps (select with output selector) just loops through the EXT-PRE input to the output:
balanced in to balanced out or
unbalanced in to unbalanced out,
even if the preamp is switched off (at least on my C-3850).
The whole system is entirely controlled by the A/V receiver.

Hope this helped.

I have found an used C-2400 for 2800 USD and an used C-2800 for 4300 USD. I have an accuphase A-65 amplifier. Which should I buy?

Money kind of matters, so that's an obvious advantage for the C-2400, but if people say C-2800 is clearly better. Or better to not buy the first generation of C-2XXX and rather go for a second or third generation? I can get a C-2810 for 5300 USD or a C-2410 for 3600 USD.

I just bought a CX-260. It'll be my first Accuphase purchase. I mostly went with it because i like to integrate 2ch and HT and hope to find a Class A Accuphase amp or integrated if the CX-260 doesn't cut it as a pre. I do have an MX150 and MX120 that could do surround duty. I'm undecided on the exact path i'll take overall, but does anyone have any experience with the CX-260 as a 2ch preamp? Is it the same quality you'd expect from Accuphase reputation? Warm sound? As a 2ch pre, do you think it would be of superior quality than the MX150 with Room Perfect or the MX120 with Pure Analog? I know the MX150 will be best of the 3 for movies with Room Perfect, but 2ch is priority and the MX150 could help fund an Accuphase integrated or power amp.

One dilemma- i'm very used to McIntosh convenience. Trigger In/Out on all their units so 1 click of a remote and my whole system shuts on or off. With Accuphase, they have no trigger in/outs. They usually have the outlets. I'm curious what is safe to power with the Acuphase.
For Example:
Accuphase outlet with 3 prong adapter powering ->McIntosh MX150 and from the MX150 i send out trigger out to my amps? Now everything turns on/off with the Accuphase remote? Of course this becomes more difficult when i add an Accuphase integrated or power amp. Will a McIntosh MX150, MC7106 or MC202 be safe to power on with the Acccuphase outlet?

Last question: EXT. PRE IN. This is essentially a home theater bypass/pass thru? CX260 Balanced EXT. PRE IN to MX150 L/R Balanced OUTs. Does the CX260 then just send the power amp signal via PRE OUTs connected to it-through to the MX150? Is the EXT. PRE IN programmable through remote or is it only manual button push?

Appreciate any info gents. Can't wait to hear my first Accuphase unit!
