Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $125.00 from private

Summary:
Please see my review of the P-300. This is a spectacular sounding pre-amp. The flexibility is first rate,there are two sets of outputs on back and one one the front,making amp comparisions easy. Plenty of inputs-I use 4 line levels and a turntable and there is more available. It's a perfect match cosmetically and more important,sonically to the accuphase power amps.

Strengths:
Build quality. Open this up and you'll see that ever circuit card is isolated from each other. this also means that replacement of any card will be easy-just plug and play. The sound is silky smooth, and it looks beautiful just sitting there. My search for pre-amp/amp combo has now ended with Accuphase.

Weaknesses:
Awkward proprietary power cord. Really that's it!

Similar Products Used:
Every other preamp I've owned is dissapointing in comparision, and I've had many of the usual solid-state names. Never had a McIntosh though. The Accuphase sounds just as good as any tube pre that I've heard, but admittedly they have been store auditions instead of in-home.
