re: Accuphase A-70
yes, what a pitty most of the population has to live in such a mess.
i feel guilty that my problem is to find out other peoples impression about a small difference between poweramps.

re: Accuphase A-70
I'd love to hear the Accuphase A-70. I think we may have a few members listening to one. Hopefully we will get some feedback soon. Check out this site. Scroll towards the bottom. I think you'll see the A-70 did well.

Re: Accuphase A-70
I heard the A-70 yesterday at Design Audio Video paired with a C-2820 preamp. On the Raidho D-5 speakers, it sounded spectacular, even fresh out of the crate without any warmup.

Re: Accuphase A-70
thx a lot for the discussion.
dfw-m-g.....nice to hear you like it. i was discussing with a german man who owns one and loves it too....actually he is that happy.
then again, he runs it at a piega as i would, but he has a smaller model and 8x times smaller room.....so not sure if power would be sufficent in my case.
however, how was the basspower and control with the d5?
and, since i know you have heard the soulution711, how would you compare a-70 and 711.....as far as its possible.

Re: Accuphase A-70
Bass had plenty of slam and control was not an issue with the D-5. Personally I preferred the sonics of the A-70 on the D-5. The 711 is a bit more laid back and has a little smoother treble range if you like that. The A-70 was very detailed and rich sounding. Both are great electronics. Depends on speakers they are paired with I suppose.

Re: Accuphase A-70
thx
wow, you like the a70 as much or even more.
somehow that surprises me, because you wrote earlier on in another tread that you did like the 711 more than the a200.
so...the a70 beats the a200??

Re: Accuphase A-70
Like I said....it all depends on the speakers you're driving. During that particular audition, I believe we were listening to Focal speakers, not Raidho D-5's.

Re: Accuphase A-70
that surprises me even more......because...as per the raidho-discussion they are hard to control and the soulution were the best to do that.

Accuphase A-70
Hey guys let me clarify a few things about this topic. The A70 is a significantly improved amplifier over the A65. The A70 is very close to the A200's. Soulution and Accuphase are both known for having tremendous bass control. Both work very well with Raidho. The A70 has no problem driving the big D5. It it also matters what you perceive as control in the bass department. If you are thinking that control with Raidho is leaning out the bass then neither brand does that. What both brands do however is keep the bass tight, defined and not lose or wandering all over the place. Please keep in mind that the a 70 is a brand-new amplifier. I think I am the first one in the country to receive one. It had zero time on the amp when we started listening. However it did get much better sounding after about four hours of warm-up. I also just put in a new Soulution 725 preamp which had about 24 hours on it. So both systems will be different in a few weeks. This hobby is very subjective and opinionated. You made it sound as if you didn't believe what Peter was saying. Keep in mind this was strictly his opinion and observation of what he heard in my room. Friendly debates are common on this forum and I think can be very productive and a learning Avenue. But unless you have heard the exact two setup that Peter listened to in my shop you really have no way of knowing or debating his opinion. If you can find the same set up of gear with the same speakers at a shop then by all means go give it a listen and I would love to hear your opinion on what you think of the two brands. I'm sorry if I sound like I'm coming down hard on you but this is just a big frustration for me when people comment on gear that they've never heard before and act as if they're surprised by hearing someone's opinion that they may not agree with based on someone else's opinion. Please just take Peter's opinion for what it is, his opinion. Then go and listen to the same set up and come back and share your thoughts. In other words, back up why this all surprises you. My apologies if I am being a little harsh.

Re: Accuphase A-70
A mistake in my opinion. You should purchase a speaker you like and then match electronics to it, versus the other way around. Just my experience.

Re: Accuphase A-70
+2...
unsound...the suggestion of starting out by choosing your speaker first in my (and many others') opinion is the best way to build a system. The component that will have the largest determinant of the overall sound character you perceive is I believe the speaker, so you need to choose a speaker whos base sound characteristics are ones that you are drawn to. You shouldalso make sure that it is a speaker that will mate well with your listening room. Speaker-room coupling/atching is huge. Once you have fgured that out yo ca nwork your way back by finding the right amp/ntegrated amp to drive it synegistically and you can tailor the sound at that point with choice of wiring, judicious room tratments (if you have that felxibility), and so on.Cyril

Re: Accuphase A-70
+4
the situation is....i got everything double or tripple but only 1 poweramp.
guess what, the amp stopped working.
my hifi budget is down to zero, so if i dont sell, i cant buy.
the plan is.....making the shortlist small based on others opinion. then buy the one on the list i get the best deal about. yes, unheard. i dont worry because anything from the list will sound more than good.
once i have sold all the gear i dont need nomore, i will go for a new speaker.
then i can compare another amp with the one i will buy now.

The A70 is a little beefier bottom in but the actual sound is very close to the A200's. I had the A65 also. I have had a bunch of Accuphase and solution gear in my shop with a wide variety of speakers. Please feel free to contact me anytime if you have questions about either brand.

Accuphase A-70
That's why I invest the money back in the demo gear. I love sharing and allowing people to listen and compare. I did just discover that I do not like the 725 with the A70. It takes away from that class A midrange magic.

Re: Accuphase A-70
U-sound, David is the finest 2 channel audio dealer I have ever dealt with for the reasons stated above. He is always seeking out the best gear on the planet no matter a person's budget and has ample demo equipment to enable audiophiles to put together their ideal system. When you get ready to make a purchase, I would encourage you to give him a shot at your business.

Re: Accuphase A-70
yes, based on the information i have, david is the place to go.
all the great gear in ONE place, thats unique, and at the same time the most safe way to get what you really like. actually, you are lost otherwise.
i would really love to go there,....not possible, i live close to zürich in europe. the situation here is that you can find all brands......withhin a few minutes you get from one shop to the other......but no shop has a lot of brands and no shop...really not even one has a good listening room.
david, very interesting about the non-synergy 725 / a-70......wich preamp did you use before?

I have had that setup on Amati Futura's and was really good. I think it is a different sounding speaker than the Strads but I bet it would still sound very good

Re: Accuphase A-70
I love the A70, but I don't have any experience with the previous models to compare it to. I know that the A70 within it's power capabilities is every bit as good as the A200s.
If you don't need the power of the A200s then the A70 is your amp.Jock
If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity, nothing else matters.

I recently purchased a very high-end DAC and now want to use my T2 only as a streamer. I also have a Nucleus+, which I use as my Roon Core. I subscribe to both Qobuz and Tidal. While I understand...
