Accuphase T1000

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just bought an Accuphase T1000 (last week). After a direct match with my Kenwood 600T, the sound of the accuphase's bass have more weigh. The male's voices in a choir are more tune and the precision are first rate. The midrange are especially glorious. The stereophonic image are a way larger than my venerable Kenwood.

For this test, I changed the original power cable of the Kenwood for a Furutech rhodium iec plug. The 2 powercables was identical, also with the interconnects. Both tuner was fed with 2 cables(75 ohm, R6).

The system: Nu Vista M3 amplifier with Dynaudion Contour S 5.4

By all accounts I've heard, the T-1000 is one of the finest tuners in the world. As a regular FM listener, I can appreciate that. Also, I love the look of Accuphase equipment: classic understated elegance ...

The Kenwood 600T was a very fine and handsome unit too ...

I can't find the MRSP for the unit but I'd bet it's north of US$5K.
