I love your excitement - this thing looks absolutely bad ass 😊

@amirjubran1845 5 месяцев назад

I always liked how Accuphase's digital meters operated vs. their analog ones. It is far more responsive and peaks stay lit for a bit longer as the rest of the meter keeps moving... it makes it much easier to keep your average listening level between albums more consistent.

Your incidental comments, say, about damping measurements, are so educational, and add to the enjoyment of Hifi listening.

Hi Adrian, thanks for another great video. Please consider to purchase and test it with the reference Accuphase C-3900 pre-amplifier. That would be a dream combo 😍! Greetings from The Netherlands.

Always really enjoy your unboxing videos. You go through a fair amount of useful information. Keep it up 😎

@turboboost99 5 месяцев назад

I agree on the meters - analog would be preferred over the digital ones. I also found it interesting that they gave specs in bridged mode down to 2 ohms. Does the manual recommend that you use bridged mode with speakers of 8 ohms impedance or more? That's pretty standard on all power amps I've seen. Instead of running a pair in bridged mode, though, one should consider just getting the A-300 monoblocks. Now THAT's an unboxing video I'd like to see! Keep coming with the Accuphase stuff. I love that brand. :)

@TheNoseman1 5 месяцев назад

I find the meters on the P 7500 far more satisfying. Pity they didn't just use them across the board. I wish these meters were on the A 300

@adrianlow2114 5 месяцев назад

Manual doesn’t indicate specs over 8 ohms but I don’t see why it can’t do it

Accuphase has always be the japanese version of McIntosh in Japan. Similar classic look to over the years back to the a30, a60 . Not much changes visually. I would say over the years mcintosh has made more visual changes to their line while still keeping their iconic look.

I wish it were an industry standard to have the binding post go "L... negative-positive---positive-negative... R" the same with speakers. It makes routing cables like the Silversmith nice and tidy, for us anal-retentive people.

Hi Adrian, would it be possible to discuss the integration (of Accuphase in general) into a existing home theatre setup in your review? Would be easy in case of Mc or Luxman because of the 12v Trigger but what about Accuphase? Kind regards from Germany!

@adrianlow2114 5 месяцев назад

Hi. With Accuphase Integrated amps, you have to use the Main In switch to bypass the preamp section. You have to do this manually. With McIntosh it’s easier as they have home theater bypass and can be triggered

These kinds of videos, by which I mean the "unboxing" stuff on RU-vid (or elsewhere), are beginning to sit wrongly with me. They feel sort of immoral. Odd and unsettling. I get people like to show off their _stuff_ , but it's rubbing me the wrong way. This is not a criticism specific to Adrian and I continue to believe he's a decent vendor and all. I just keep wanting to ask myself _what are we really doing here?_

@Mark-rw3kw 5 месяцев назад

Retailers have to purchase the equipment from the manufacturer/distributor to have in their demo room with their own money, and eventually they will want to sell the demo equipment. So the retailer wants keep the condition of the equipment in pristine condition, especially when talking about stuff that costs this much money, so they can at least recover what they paid for it. That is why he is wearing gloves. Most people emit oils and acid through their skin, which over time can damage a finish. Sometimes they only have one unit in the store and it is the demo unit, and a customer wants to buy it, so if the retailer keeps it in pristine condition then a customer is more willing to take one already removed from the box if kept in pristine condition. Same reason why people who handle valueable artwork or old rare books wear gloves.
