What a wonderful setup Kastor00. The c-27 is very good, I have 3 turntables and several different cartridges and works like a charm with every one of them. Its dead quiet. I can set it up for low output MC and turn the amp volume all the way and there is just a slight hiss from speakers that one can only hear by putting the ear to the speakers.

What speakers do you use wtih your system.

Thank you

Yes I do think the tannoys need a bigger room than my current 18x11x8 foot basement room.

We are in the process of building a new home and will move sometime late 2012 or early 2013. Thats when the full potential of the system should become apparent.

I had a brand new E-202 and it was wonderful, that is what started me into Accuphase.

I have actually ordered a Linn Akurate DS and it should be arriving in a week or 2. I auditioned the Akurate at a local dealer here and was quite impressed with the sonic performance and the user interface on teh iPad.

Well I am thinking about having a digital streaming front end. With time I want to Convert all my cds to lossless digital albums and then these days a lot of stuff you buy and download already is in the digital format.

I dont know if its better, can only tell after a direct comparison (playing a cd with CDP and playing the same CD ripped thru the Linn) once I have the Linn but the even if the quality is the same as CD the system will be more flexible. Access all my CD albums from my iPad, Ability to select various songs from different cds and make playlists.

I would still keep the Accuphase DP 78 as my last CD player.

The C-200 and the E-202 are timeless classics. They will sound great even after 30+ years.

I dont think i am getting the best out of my system yet. I will move to a new home next year and this system will have a better room. right now its in a small basement room.

I want to add a digital front end and looking at Linn Majik or Linn Akurate Digital stream players.

Thanks for your comments.

I do all the accuphase voltage cconversions on my own. Its quite simple, just a matter of switching a few pins around. Accuphase have standard coloured wires for 100. 120 and 220 volts. I have a 120 to 100v transformer but I never use it.

I think the A 45 is technically very similar to the A 46. Output is the same at all impedances and intenal photos in the brochures look exactly the same. The A 46 might have a slightly larger transformer as it os aout 2.5 lbs heavier. Also the A 46 has dual speaker terminals and some other cosmetic inprovements.

Sonically yhey should be very similar. I have not heard the A45 but I have compared the E550 to the E560 (both 30wpc class A integrateds) They did not sound different so based on that i would put their sound at par.

My 2nd A-46 arrived from japan and after doing the voltage modifications from 100- 120 volts (15 minute job) it is in the system now. I will update photos soon.

I tied the bridged and the dual mono mode. The system definitely sounds better in the dual mono mode. Where I connect the high snd mid/low freq speaker terminals to different channels of the amp.

as opposed to the bridged mode where I am just connecting one cable to the speakers from the summed up bridged output of the amp.

I also notice that the amps run a bit cooler in bridged mode so i think they are no longer class A and revert to class AB when in bridged mode.
