Recycle the Bose and Apple crap, and keep the rest to fix up and sell.

Your mic audio is horrible and skewed to the left. Well done for attempting rage bait and scoring a comment off me.

Will it drive my Magneplanar 3.7i s? If not, I don't care.

Hilarious....... crazy.... boomy....... sounds like Kilpsch ????? Hooking that / those amplifiers up to such rubbish is an insult to my sensibilities. Idiot.

How are you reviewing something and you don’t even talk about how it sounds. I mean come on man!

Accuphase is way better than luxman...

Man you got ripped off on that box speakers are 39.99 at Costco new lol 600$

Ht bypass mode?

We've been getting ripped off on all types of products. Finally there is an audio product that is worth the price. That's all this is. It's what the price SHOULD BE !!

$6950 in USA, $3500 in Japan 😑 price cost the double in USA!!!

Kind of agree, to compare the situation, I tries the latest Camaro recently, it is ok but nowhere near the Ferrari Enzo, not to mention the Bugatti La Voiture Noire, which is my favorite ! All that been said, I understand poor people do enjoy their Camaro's, but it will never be a Bugatti.

Finally got a Accuphase e280. Wow what a beautiful piece of jewellery that sounds like maple syrup. Got an opportunity to listen to e280, Luxman 507z, Mcintosh MA252. Different price brackets but Mac was out in the first listen. MA352 would have been a better comparison but dealer didn’t have it. Mac didn’t have the resolution and was too safe in tonality - less engaging. Luxman had the godly resolution and Accuphase had godly midrange. After back and forth I chose Accuphase just because of their reputation and also the fact that it was a bit cheaper than 507z. I moved up from Yamaha AS1200 which I still love but Accuphase is 2 tiers above. Bass and dampening from this tiny machine is unbelievable.

What is this video even good for. The hifi Rose compared to the wimm ultra which you haven’t done. I would love to see the Hifi rose as a transport against the whim ultra as a transport in a blind listening test. This is video is completely useless

you guys are useless.....you need to move the arm of the record player to see it turn, plus all the bose shit probably just needs the fuse replaced,

Great video..!!! What switch are you using?

*Accuphase E-5000* *Accuphase C-2150* + *Accuphase P-4500* 👈👍👌 *and put the lamps in your slippers...* *TAD C2000* + *TAD M2500* 👈💪 #lamps*???*

On the tube radio the power switch is on the volume control. You turned it off then tried to test it.

You just don't by WIIM if you have a +$15K high-end system! Same goes the other way around, you don't buy a $3000 dac if your system is below $1000... WiiM are mostly for those who have a sub $3000 (amp/speaker) system!

Hi, I have the Elysian 4's and a big room with a big ceiling. I now have Advance Paris A12 driving the Elysian's and I'm looking for an upgrade in AMP. I know you like the Elysian 4 and what is your advice to go look for. I'm in the Netherlands so not so easy to go to your store, ;)

all that stuff, and they get exited over apple garbage

Yeah, Skylab Audio recently did an AP vs Mc comparo, too. So, I'll mention my same thoughts here: 1) Where is the AP made? Yeah, yeah, designed in France, very cool, but where is it actually made? Doubt it is France.....perhaps People's Republic of (Communist) China? The Mc is made in USA. Which would you be proud to have in your home? 2) The Mc can be kept running into the future, with or without Mc factory support. The AP has a digital section. In 3-5 years, the spare parts boards will be depleted and the specialized, SMT uP parts that were used will no longer be available. Boat anchor. 3) Mc supplies full service docs, I bet you don't have access to the AP docs. Probably only their factory repair center (1 or 2 in the USA?) will have any service documentation. Go with the Mc for the long game, and for the provenance.

Why spend more on a streamer if we all use an exstenal DAC. Why don't reviewers talk more about it's streaming quantity the same way we would for a cd transport. Too much talk about features. If you guys are really into hifi at least wait until you have heard the product. Then perhaps do a blind ab with a more expensive product and run both threw the same DAC. Then make a video to tell us how they compare as pure streamers.

Where is the video catalog where you would show audio equipment and play music?

Well, using the Wiim Pro Plus (transport only, not using built-in DAC) with a linear PSU get's you up to a _really_ high level. A level where you would be very hard pressed to _actually hear_ a difference.

Why are there so many Mcs for sale in the used market?

The fact that you compare a 300$ budget device with ultra high end devices shows how good it can be

Heavy D, is that you?

Some people don’t like the look of accuphase? Are those just blind people?

The SoundDock's don't work without the remote. Bose does sell them on their site for only $14.00

I always liked this kind of videos. unboxing old stuffs and testing it if still works. 😊😊

Would Tom bet his house on a blind listening test? Is build quality really a factor wrt longevity and even audio quality - come on put your house where your mouth is. (or where your ears are) I admit that I like the feel of the more expensive stuff too. But aren't the dynamics of kick drums are more likely felt at the power amp rather than the streamer / pre amp. What do I know.

Fun-Fi for one may be an upgrade for another. I can see it appealing to younger people that live a digital lifestyle, and to those that never streamed before and want to dip their toes into streaming music. I’m on a limited fixed income now, and this is a tempting option to add to my stereo rig. Btw, that Cambridge Audio CXN100 is a good-looking streamer. I like the sound of Cambridge gear. If not the Ultra, I’d go for the AXN10. That would fit nicely with the rest of my mid-fi system. Interesting points in video. Thanks 👍🏼🎶😎

Bad choice of music to judge anything by. How about ZZ Top or Blood Sweat And Tears😊

The Technics SU-R1000 and Yamaha S3200 ? Are they comparable?

Ciao ragazzi , per quello che si può percepire da un video ,anche se ho ascoltato attentamente con le mie cuffie shenaizer, il piccolo Accuphase mi sembra più chiaro con una gamma bassa meno invadente... Ciao bel video...

lots of fun, do that again

Sales video not a review.

Just moved from Yamaha A-S1200 to Accuphase e280. Man, what a jump. This is a piece of jewellery. Better tighter bass, fuller sound, sweeter tone, more clarity, significantly better low volume performance, and better build. Yamaha is great and I thought I was done until I got e280. My fav is loudness compensation- makes it sing even at 45db.

I have the as2200 and before I had the 1100. Amazing amps. I recently ordered the m5000 and the c5000. I believe it matches so well with my ATC smc40. Looks like the market perception on Yamaha is way bellow what Yamaha deliveres. To me they are on par with Luxman and accuphase.

You should try room correction with REW. Will make a bigger difference than dacs and most respectable amps. Come on man you're an audio RUclipsr, learn about room correction. Then you talk about funfi and don't do room correction? 😅

Good Day as an influential audio reviewer can you please call attention to the fact that WiiM removed AirPlay casting (the feature that allows you to send what’s playing on the WiiM to HomePods) with the latest firmware update and forum posts referencing this “upgrade” keep disappearing. It worked reliably and was also the reason I pre-ordered a WiiM Ultra for another room. Thanks.

Using good earbuds, I heard more presence with the Accuphase. The music just became more alive and engaging.

Longevity in a streamer😵‍💫 It will be obsolete in 3 years anyway. Might as well spend the money on a quality DAC instead of an overpriced streamer with a useless screen. Ps “Fun-Fi”🙄 - what an arrogant way to degrade a product you haven’t even listened to yet🙈 Is this ZZ Top’s goofy cousins Snob-Fi channel?🤷‍♂️

Accuphase sounds over controlled with a overdone feedback loop. The Luxman sounds more relaxed and is an amp I could live with. If in the Nighted States, I would go with something McIntosh or Decware (two years waiting list, I ordered one), if in Europe I would check out the Sugden A21SE (SS single ended class a) or the Sugden A21 AI if you want more like a tube characteristic and MM/MC phono. I own a Sugden A21SE. I run LEAK Sandwich 250 and 200 speakers - the vintage ones. LEAK Sandwich speakers are just in another league. Sugden has also a TDA1543 non-oversampling DAC -Sugden DAC-4 masterclass - with a gorgeous output stage, which works nicely with the Sugden Amps and the LEAK speakers. I respect the Klipsch Forte and Cornwall speakers and if I had the space and money I would check them out with single ended tube electronics. As for an affordable budget system, I would go with a MHDT Paradiese DAC (TDA1543), a vintage McIntosh 1700 receiver and vintage LEAK speakers. In the USA, there are vintage THE FISHER tube amps and receivers often sold cheap, with the will to pay a technician when something tube goes wrong, that is a valid alternative.

so you want me to compare the sound using different speakers?

The most annoying person I have watched in a review....

At some point a second goat comes along...... He at least has a bit more modest voice.....

Keep on screaming!!! Now that is so annoying....... You sound like your goatee....

I toured the McIntosh factory in 2014. Their dedication to quality and service is king. They can restore or repair any component they make or made regardless of age. They also have a so-called unaffiliated sister store in a town not far away from their factory that has the used equipment for sale that has been serviced. It’s called Audio Classics in Vestal New York. No foreign manufacturer can beat that.

Thanks, I loved how you guys were surprised hearing Kef Reference 1s thinking they were Cornwall 4s. Yeah Kef Reference 1 are that good and I have always been back and forth and this helps a lot! Forte in the beginning were good but Ref 1 are another level. 👌
