best amp. i ever have pleasure to listen.many amp. from that period i have but nothing is ever haven't so transparent and clear sound like accuphase e203.almost evrery speakers sounds good .that is not the case with other amps from the same price and class from that age.what else to say if have pleasure meeting with one of accuphase series e 203 to 206 please let them chans and you will have a wonderful pleasure to hear something extra.

really don't know.

This sounds like a class A very powerful amp with superb base and sparkling treble. It is remarkable value even though there is quite a risk buying an old amp. You can get pin connectors to speaker cables which work very well. This amp is working well with a linn Sondek and high quality digital source. I am amazed to say this but it is better than my naim system!!

classic look....built like a tank....the sound is awesome

availability of spareparts

this is a review for the accuphase e-204 integrated amp.....this amp is one of the finest integrateds i have heard....i have been listening to a lot of tube amps and ss amps from friends ... this amp definitely beats other amps in every sense....i still havent heard the lavardin it...but it sure will be a challenge to audition this 25 year old amp side by side with the brand new lavardin it...hehehehehe...the hotter this amp gets the better the sound is...highs are as smooth as silk...mids are natural and neutral...the lows are tight & fast...ithe only weakness i can think of is the availability of spare parts if ever this amp should breakdown...
