Right now, used Gryphon 300s go for $9000 to $10000. Soulution 330 around $10000. Accuphase 650 for $9000 (not in US). I believe the brand new Accuphase 480 is $7000 (not in US). And all of these products less than 1yr old or few months old. If all of this is true, what would be the best bang for the buck? Also, in terms of reliability, how does 330 scores against Accuphase and Gryphon?

If you are looking for value, in my opinion the Luxman wins. It looks and sounds amazing. The built is amazing as well and the lust factor is over the top although it is completely subjective here.
I've never heard an Accuphase but my guess is they are more alike than different. The Accuphase is pricier in north america though mostly because of the distributors as the prices in japan are closer.
I only heard the Gryphon 120 and the Soulution 330 briefly at an audio show and both sounded fantastic. So did the Luxman... The Accuphase was sitting there, pretty on display only...
They are all great products no doubt.
