I see here only optical changes. The only thing that will probably be better is the damping factor of 500 in the 470 to over 600 in the 480.

Power is the same
AAVA is the same

That should really be everything.? The 480 are totally unnecessary

Accuphase doesn't put out a newer product unless there are real and measurable performance increases.
I would suspect that along with a higher damping factor you'll see lower distortion and noise numbers.

and more importantly, does it sound distinctly better than the predecessor?

Another reason could be due to component obsolescence and/or manufacturing improvements?

~$5250 in Japan = well over $10K in NA. That's some expensive shipping.

lol

way to high.

i think there is no reason for 470 owner to change to the 480. Never

i can promise the 480 doesnt sounds better then the 470.however the measurable performance increases says.

How do you know this? I think you would have to compare the two before making a sweeping statement like that.

The whole pricing thing and how were all getting "ripped off" has been discussed to death, IMO
It is what it is.

But for some.. they just can't let go.
