Advice on My System

[Formerly YB-2]

Yes, he does. Not sure he ships worldwide, but you could ask. Good luck with all. Am guessing you will find the E-460 can do everything except, possibly, slake your thirst for new gear (which we all wrestle with).

Of course it is not true. In fact I find such an affirmation ridiculous. I am also surprised that so far nobody has pointed out that Ivan drives his TAD CR-1 speakers with an E-460 (now maybe with an E-470).

Buy first the best speakers that you can afford and have good synergy with Accuphase. Afterwards, it less critical what you will buy, i.e. an A-70 or a C-3850, as E-460 has pre-out and power-in functionalities. Since both situations, i.e. E-460 & C-3850 or E-460 & A-70 aren't ideal, buy first whichever unit you get at a very good price.

Where do you live?
Maybe a fellow member can recommend a shop or you can go to a members house to trial some speakers
