Mr Peabody replied to a thread In General in Accuphase

I was just looking on the website for general information. Some models only gave power into one ohm and not much overall information on the amp. Thanks for your input. Other components may change the balance some in a system but I find amps...

Jack in Wilmington replied to a thread Time to say goodbye ........ in Health, Wellness and Medicine

Congratulations Dave. I retired 11 years ago and I still don't know when I found time to work, because I'm always busy. The secret is to have some hobbies, which I know you do.

Mr Peabody replied to a thread In General in Accuphase

I've seen specs into 1 ohm before but Accuphase was the first to only give a 1 ohm rating. They failed to give a 8 or 4 ohm rating.

Mr Peabody replied to a thread In General in Accuphase

I thought they would have a "house sound" like many brands do. After looking at the line I'd probably gravitate to the P7500. The Accuphase website doesn't give much information on the amps as far as specs. I thought it very odd they gave power...

Mr Peabody started a thread In General in Accuphase

Anyone, want to take a stab at describing the Accuphase sound of their amps? My impression from comments they are warm and lean more polite. I read things but terrible at remembering where I read it. A writer was talking about his visit to...

I saw an announcement from AXPONA saying Plinius was going to be at the show. This is a brand I've heard of but didn't know much about. Somewhere I saw they have a new amp out the A150 Reference. I found a review in Sound Stage, sounds like a...

Mr Peabody replied to a thread Hegel music systems p30a preamp review in Hegel

I think you are right I was going from memory in a review and they may have been used as monoblocks which would bring the price up to what I was thinking.

Mr Peabody replied to a thread Hegel music systems p30a preamp review in Hegel

I don't know but something I noted is the H30a is less expensive than the H30 was and the H30a would have been subject to the inflation, so I wonder how the H30a could be better yet less expensive by a good amount.

I really like Nagra, should make a nice match. I think what helps with components that have many functions is a way to update them. I'm sure that's something Lumin does. That's only software though. My friend has a Schiit DAC and he says he...

TAS has a great review of the P1. Robert Harley was using it with CHP and Wilson. Has anyone heard the Lumin amp? That and a P1 looks to be a nice package.

What you are planning with a streamer digitally into the MX170 will work. An advantage of an external DAC is if it sounded better than the internal DAC in the MX170. The only way to know that is by a listening comparison. If you like the sound...
