Accuphase Reference System

Ceslovas, welcome to AA.

[Ceslovas]

Mr. Yasumasa Ishizuka* helped me sort out the history of the actual active audio system.
Now I have a block diagram of a system that used Mr. Jiro Kasuga. Hope you will be interested to look at the list of such a complex audio system.

* Yasumasa Ishizuka: Former Export Manager of Trio Electronics, Inc., Former Sales Director of Trio-Kenwood Electronics, Inc. in Europe...



Late Jiro Kasuga's audio system in a picture below.
The gear:
Signal sources - LP player with Melco System 3560 Motor, three tonarms (Fidelity Research FR-66S,
Audiocraft AC-3000, SME 3012R) and cartridges (Accuphase AC-2, EMT TSD 15, Ortofon CM 2011 and others),
Accuphase T-104 FM tuner (avalable in Japan only);
Accuphase C-240 preamplifier;
Accuphase F-15 active crossovers (2 pcs.)

Wish I had your kind of money had to settle for DP-720, to bad so sad, maybe should have sold my NSX and done the same.

I'm looking very much forward to a shootout between the Esoteric and Accuphase sources.

And I am eating Kraft Dinner to night because of the lower end Accuphase I just bought.

Awesome pictures
I just wonder which Accuphase would do best with Wilson Audio Sabrina loudspeakers ?
Will my E-470 be okay for a start.

Yes - you will LOVE the combination!

GreginNH1 ohh my, that sounds "bad"

I actually auditioned the Sabrina´s just to see how they where in comparison til Focal Sopra 2, i did´nt know what to expect at all, and i have to say i was simply blown away.
They where played with Audio Research Ref6 and dont know which model in amplification....but it wa so much better i could not believe it and still can´t
What a bad decision i made to go listen to them

Of course! Don't worry Accuphase's integrated series E-4x0 can drive anything!
