Best amp for a new audiophile

[reptkeu]

Hello,
I finally chose the Accuphase E-206. Maybe not the best choice but it sounded like it was mine from the begining. You know, just like a first love.
So, I just received it! It's here at the office, right behind me, and I can't wait to be home tonight.
The Emotiva or anything that would have needed high shipping rate + custom clearance was out of question for me.
Next post will be tonight ;-)

Congrats, Reptkeu.

The Accuphase E-206 was sort of my "sentimental" favourite amongst the amps you were looking at. I'm sure you will enjoy it, assuming it's still functioning up to spec. Being 12+ years younger than the E-202, I think it was likely the better choice than that model. No doubt you're seen the E-206 brochure, HERE, from the Accuphase site.



(For equal money, say £500, the Naim Nait 5i might have been the purer performance choice, but what the heck.)

I bet it's gonna sound great. Congratulations!
