E-480 English and German brochure available for download here:
http://www.accuphase.com/model/e-480.html Most impressive page 12 of the Technical Information showing how meticulously Accuphase develop their gear and test almost every single component before they build it into a new model. Wow! Martin |

Thanks, Martin.
As the pic shows,that's an amazing amount of parts tested and used before they got it right where they wanted. They leave no stone un-turned! Last edited by Canonicus; 11-27-2018 at 11:56 AM. Reason: spelling |

I'm undecided yet whether to buy the new Accuphase E 480 or the Class A E 650. My dealer has both but listening conditions there are subpar, with traffic noise coming in and no possibility of fast switching between the two. Has anyone had the opportunity to compare the E 470 or E 480 with the E 650?
I would team the amplifier with the Accuphase SACD player DP 750. By the way, what do you pay for the DP 750 and E 470 / 480 in the USA? Is it normal to get a discount off the official list price? I live in Switzerland where prices are high. I was surprised to see that in Japan you pay about half of what you pay in Switzerland (don't know whether before or after tax). Thanks for info and tipps. Last edited by Herbie49; 11-29-2018 at 05:32 AM. |

US prices are ridiculous, compared to Japan (even adjusting for currency exchange). Does not surprise me that Swiss prices are also high.
I suggest Class A if you can afford it. To my ear, it is well worth the price in the accuphase line. |

Please remember:
Accuphase service and warranty is only possible in the country the device was originally destined to (at least labour goes to the expense of the corresponding distributor). Power supply voltage in Japan is only 100V-120V. Preferable E-650 (Class A + fully balanced pre like C-3850) or separates up to C-3850 + 2x A-250 according to your budget. DP-750 "requires at least" E-650. Martin |

I have been told that the resell value in Germany of Accuphase bought through PIA is much higher than when bought through another source.
