Canadian voltage is 120V, just like the US. Have an E650 Accuphase myself , purchased here. Not Sure where the 110 V comes from , but it's not our power standard.

Keep swapping the Boulder 866 and the Accuphase E650, and think, with my speakers and cabling, the Accuphase is the better match. Just seems more organic, and goes to show the key to system...

Final thoughts..they are both fine amps...put my E650 with PS Directstream back in yesterday..it sounds great too,,,,...hoping to switch back next week and see if I can define the differences...I'm...

Had the same offer from probably the same Montreal dealer. BTW they no longer sell Accuphase, according to what's available on their web site.

Mike, From your post I gather you prefer the sound that way....good to know...Will give it a try soon. thanks

Yes I had seen that.....Wonder if that applies to all conditioners , tho, given the variety out there...Everything from a power strip to a $20k box....but I think I'll stick with the wall as...

Running it direct from the wall at present....As my speakers have powered woofers drawing power from The Denali, thought it might be too much of a draw all together. SR suggested I run the speakers...

I must agree...moved the speakers a foot more toward me last week, and a much better sound ....high end much smoother ,and sound is almost there....Amazing what a change it affected....

essrand, Honestly haven't had a lot of time to listen in the past few weeks, due to work getting busier, and I work a lot of evenings.
Will say that I'm pleased with what I'm hearing as far as...

Very curious as to what the other 2 are....thinking maybe Diablo 300 is one? Inquiring minds want to know!..

I think Like he idea of a cheap aftermarket....at least it won't get all banged up and affect trade-in!!..And yea, it seems the moray spend, the heavier the remote..I know the Accuphase one is a...

Thanks....will get some ordered...old school am I !..))

essrand.
Have had the Boulder plugged in for almost a week now, using it mainly for streaming and TV so far. Just a couple of CD's .
My main impression is it has a bit more clarity compared to...

True, but in Canada, I was quoted $17000 Canadian, taxes and shipping included.....still a bargain compared what the US is charging , given the currency exchange.

No I don't . Then again, Bought mine in Canada, where the list price is actually less than the US list. Given the difference in currencies, it would appear that the US market will accept the pricing,...

Did the price of the E-800 increase to $25K US, as indicated on another site? Given it is offered in Canada at $20K Canadian, MSRP, the pricing simply makes no sense.Too bad, but then many industries...

Thanks....as to the reason for the shift, I believe the proper audiophile term is " Whim"..))
After all the great comments, it seemed like a good move, and as I can probably dispose of the Accuphase...

When I logged into Roon, a song immediately started , and the volume was maxed out. Rather startling to say the least. All is OK tho...
Have had it running since yesterday , and am pleased with what...

Got my new 866 this morning, and replaced the Accuphase E650....so far,I'm pleased...aside from almost blowing the speakers when it first fired up...))..Crap that was loud!!..now to see if it's the...

Still waiting on it.....hopefully the middle of the month....Will let you know tho..

Yes....If it will replace my PS Directstream, then it becomes an even better buy. Love the fact that it had the Dac with Roon built in.

Gary,
Hopefully I can give you some good feedback in a month or so...have the E650 as well, and ordered the 866 today. Life is short...))
Just hoping my old ears hear a difference...!

Just received a Denali V2 and an Alpha XC cord. Can't wait to give it a go and see what differences I hear! Great New Years Eve present!

The Tympani 1D was fabulous speaker Bought a pair in the 70's and powered them with a Van Alstine Dyna 400. Long time ago....
