I am thinking about buying a Accuphase P-300 amplifier. I have owned a Pioneer SX-1980 receiver and really enjoyed the sound quality. Can I except to get the same quality or better from the Accuphase P-300? I know the wattage will be lower. Thanks,
I am very grateful for the comments. I have the chance to buy the Accuphase P-300 for $1000. The gentleman said it was serviced in 2017 (can't find receipt) but the right channel circuit board was replaced, all caps that needed replacing were as well and the original meter lights were replaced with LED's.
Bimasta it sounded that good? I started out with a Sansui G-901 and then a pioneer sx-1980 and then went to a sansui au-111. I never knew a 40 watt tube amp could sound so good. It was 6 years ago when I sold them. To buy some ham radio gear. Now I Wonder what I Was thinking. So now I Want to start collecting stereo gear again. And have around $1,100.00 to start with. I know my opinions are few. Was hoping to find a concept 16.5 but even they are getting to be expensive.
I really have not gave it much thought. I was thinking about a pair of OHM walsh 2 speakers. My time is almost up on buying the Accuphase p-300. Just want to make sure it has good sound quality and plenty of headroom?
...Unless he finds the paperwork, dont believe it...
My room size. I would say is a 10 ft long by 9 ft wide. I like my music loud and clear. If I may ask Bodyblue do you think the Accuphase will sound better and play louder then the other amps I Listed above. if so I better jump on the Accuphase before it's gone. Thank you for your help.
Unlike most manufacturers, Accuphase can replace almost every part from every product since day one. There are a few exceptions, but I've even had replacement knobs, pots and PCBs sent from Japan for some of their earliest products.
The attention to detail even on the spare parts boxes had to be seen to be believed. I've kept one in particular for a C-11 preamplifier where they packed the motorised alps blue pot and the 200g (or so) solid aluminium volume knob in bags, foam, internal boxes, nestled in very soft spaghetti-like foam and then topped off like a box of chocolates.
The address, customs and postage labels were perfectly placed and the packaging tape was like gift wrapping. I felt bad opening the box!
I wasn't there for that demo, of that P300. As mentioned, I had my own. Perhaps I should have added that I admired mine but never loved it — but I thought the unanimous opinion of a specialist, and his entire staff (about 8 at the time) in a dedicated music room, was worth more than the single opinion of an amateur in his home. And if your budget is $1,100, spending $1K on an amp leaves you rather short if you need other components — but I may misunderstand your finances.Bimasta it sounded that good?
