I bought the DP-65v used a few years ago. It replaced a very nice Cary 306/200 player. The Accuphase is built like a tank, looks great, and more importantly, it sounds awesome. It's more transparent throughout with a better extended top end vs. the outstanding Cary 306/200.I have no experience with Accuphase amps but I'd like to try one someday.
It don't git much better than that she said!
You want a real treat? Check out the Luxman gear on their Japanese website.
The best looking gear I have ever seen. Stunning design, similar to Accuphase.
I agree. Their stuff was gorgeous looking. I doubt I will ever forget the receiver a friend had in the 70s.
I have also always liked that blue light Pioneer used to have.
Yeah,I remember those Luxmans (Luxmen?)What great product architecture!Also remember a Pioneer 737 receiver with the blue light.It also had such glorious symmetry and silky smooth knobs.My golden Marantz with the sliding volume control was the envy of the dorm mates.Its time for some retro styling!Remember the Ferrograph Open Reel deck?
I wonder is some of the appeal of tubes is actually the styling of the kit.
I seem to remember that the Pioneer blue is different to other companies' blues bit I might be mistaken there.
With the lights down I thought it looked just right.
And did it make the music sound better?
Well I can't say it didn't!
I would probably settle for a tuner with that blue now and a Luxman the next time I need an office system. Now, let's get over to eBay.
