TommyC, thanks for sharing the news about the C-3850! Do you have any info about its price? A quick look on a few Japanese sites suggest that C-3850 will be 20-25% more expensive than C-3800. It this actually true?

My brother just added a C-3800 to his system last week.
Dealer offered him great price upon introduction of new C-3850. So might be a great time for some to grab a great albeit superseded pre with special discount!? He is very pleased with the sound and ordered a C-37 phono to fill in that empty slot.. IMG_4809.jpg *excuse the blurry shot Last edited by bvdiman; 05-25-2015 at 04:20 PM. |

Bvdiman, please congratulate your brother for me. His Accuphase combo looks wonderful! Aren't you jealous on the looks of his combo? I know you have the top FM Acoustics pre, but he has the complete 40 anniversary Accuphase rig.
Also, I am wondering what is your brother doing about the heat put out by the two A-200 amps and the C-3800 pre. My C-3800 get almost as hot as my A-65. I remember this topic has been briefly discussed in the past, but I am unaware if he has done anything about this. |

TommyC, please report back when you know something about the price.
Regarding my comment above (for bvdiman) about the heat, be aware that the A-200 and the C-3800 put out a tremendous amount of heat. This can be a nuisance during the summer. For example, this month we had a few nice “hot" days here in NL and I had to disconnect the C-3800 and feed the DP-7200 directly into the A-65 power amp. Luckily for me there aren’t that many hot days here during the summer. I would consider the new M-6200 over the A-200 if heat might be a problem. Last edited by nvp; 05-26-2015 at 07:11 PM. |

I asked the distributor regarding having the A200 and C3800 in a 12' by 13' room. He said it shouldn't be a problem. Btw, I'm in Vancouver, Canada. I guess I'll find out in a few months. |
