Love Accuphase. They really set the bar as far as build quality and actually using good parts. The "Japanese McIntosh" comparisons are an insult IMO to Accuphase, especially anybody that has experience with both brands. Zero fancy case work with cheap as possible off the shelf parts or eval board amps here, they're the real deal. I just wish they got back into the Class A/B multi-ch amp game though with a long overdue PX600 successor up to their current standards. Especially now with slow-motion controlled demolition of Bryston after the Axiom takeover, Classe also being wrecked and many brands just having ATI make amps for them. Definitely room for Accuphase in this space.
I have an appointment on Tuesday to go listen to the Accuphase E5000. That said I think I'll be happier with the P7500 or the A75 class A amplifier. Looks alone are to die for wow! Unfortunately they only have an integrated available to listen to.
Regarding the “meter knob”. When you say it has off, 3 seconds and infinite you aren’t clear about what they mean or why. Do you mean 3 second setting is delayed by 3 seconds to average that much of a time period for an average reading? And what does infinite mean? When you say it gives you the peak output over the whole song do you mean it holds the highest reading and stays there? And then you never even mention how normal mode differs from the other two modes. Does it show real time readings as a conventional VU might show? You seemed to want to speed through this review of a very expensive piece of equipment.
Hi, great video. I am planning to buy an Accuphase Power amplifier to pair with Accuphase C2900. I am primarily a Jazz listener. My dealer has both A75 and P7500 at same price. My speaker is Monitor Audio PL 200 (sensitivity 90db). Which power amp do you recommend for me? I am leaning towards P7500. Thanks in advance.
@etin383 I finally chose P7500 with C2900. Later on I got C47 Phono preamp as well, with AC-6 Cartridge. Now my analog chain is all Accuphase . Really happy. My friend got A75 and we don't feel much of a difference except that P7500 has higher power and better (in my eyes) display. The VU meters got me 😀
Signal-Noise-Ratio of 13db…!?!? Are you kidding, this amp would be noizy as hell… Power-Capacitors with 6.000uF…!?!? My kitchen-radio has more… You totally screwed up your numbers mate. ;-))
Masterpiece
Just looking at the power meters lighting up is good enough for me.

what did you decide at the end?were you able to listen p7500?
Nice overview. Beautiful amplifier! I thought you were going to talk about the sound? What about price?
Looks great!
Nice preview!
1:29 I'm guessing you mean 113dB, because 13dB is terrible!
Exactly what I was thinking!
Beautiful amplifier!
How hot is it to the touch?
Accuphase is the end game amp. That said, I still think I'd prefer their A75 class A...
What about pair it with the Triangle Magellan Duetto 40?
6000uf power filter capacitors!!!
Really?????😂😂😂😂
It mustt be 60,000 uf 😊
Ithink so too
Hi please test p4600

Yea, he rushed through this “review” like he didn’t really know what he was doing.
