Hello Everybody,

I am Henrik and I write from Denmark. Like everyone here I am passionate about the repreduction of music. Sadly enough, however, I have developed a certain affection for old Accuphase gear that is probably comparable to womens affection for jewelery :blush: Some Accuphase gear is rare in Denmark - especially at prices that I am willing to pay. I originally created HifiShark to solve this problem and it has certainly been a great help for me.

It is hard for me to delineate a single 'main' system as I often play my units in various combinations. On paper, however, my C-280L preamp and P-102 poweramp are the nicest amplifiers - fully balanced, class A, true dual mono from about 1987. The nicest speakers are Bösendorfer vc-1. Best sources would be a Nottingham Analogue Interspace w. Ortofon 2m bronce and a Behringer SRC-2496 with a balanced lampizator output stage.

I recently got lucky on a T-108 tuner to accompany this set, and now I secretly (from my wife) dream of a DP-70V cd-player to replace the behringer - if you see one let me know ;)

Besides of the financial matters my main challenge when it comes to hifi is the acoustics of the basement room to which I have been banished with all of my jewelery - I don't believe I will ever get it perfect.
 
Welcome Henrik! Being from Denmark, have you heard Raidho speakers? Vitus gear?
 
Spot on NorthStar.

Thanks Mike. I do not recall hearing any of those brands, but most likely I have - at one of the tradeshows. I will try to take notice when I next go [:-)] I can say, however, that both brands are highly praised on the Danish audio forums.
 
I have a soft spot for Accuphase gear and hope to hear some well broken in gear. I love the looks and build quality. I have a feeling I am going to like the sound as well.

:)
 
Joe:

I've told you before, the A200s I demo'd briefly sounded fabulous. I don't think you could go wrong if you were to throw a pair into your ever-growing stable of "goodies!"

I am SERIOUSLY thinking about the A200's. But, not until late next year after I get my D3's :exciting: I have a feeling the D3's and A200's would be to my taste. I have a dollar and a dream.
 
A-200, A-65, hell even A-60 would do for me. Combined with C-28x0 I would be just fine :cool:

I guess my P-102 is a kind of great grandfather of the series as it was the first 50Watt pure Class A offering from accuphase (no class A/B). Some think it has similarities to the A-20, which was supposed to be quite a mid-range devil. I do recognize some of that viewpoint as the bass extension of the P-102 is not on par with the newer offerings.

Anyhow, I also own a set of C-200/P-300, a set of C-200/C-220/P-20, and a set of E-202/T-101 - all truly fantastic for their time. I once owned a set of C-245/P-370/AD-10/DA-10, but I found this particular setup a bit too analytical and the option cards too weak.

Speakerwise, these other units play with KEF ls50 and Snell type D.
 
Henrik Welcome to AS, you have great taste, Accuphase is made with extreme built quality and heavy duty as a Tank. I have a very soft spot for Accuphase having used my late DP500 CD player for 6 years. After that I used a Esoteric K-03 that I did like but the Red book was superior with the Accuphase. The problem here in the States the Accuphase marc up is to high.
Cheers

Welcome to the shark henrik!!! Accuphase make great products, you are smart to collect them.
Only product I ever owned was a t100. Great tank like tuner. I would find and buy another but where I live now is not so good for radio stations. Kinda in between New York and Philly and get a staticy mix of both.
Again welcome!!!
