The timbre in the voice of the Denon is much more realistic the Accuphase completely glazes over the deeper notes especially on the "come on lets walk around" 👌🏾
This is a great review, well founded and straight to the point. Congrats.
I would have to keep both. That Denon is to die for and the Accuphase is nice nice. Nice choice to have.
Excellent presentation Tharbamar - - I'm on the exact same page as Nixanthrope - the Accuphase has more musical sweetness upper midrange on up.
It's great to have such a comparison.
Interesting comparison, sir. Thank you for your good work. Greetings to you. 👋😊
Want to see in your channel - Boulder 866, Gryphon 120 or NEW Gryphon 333. Great channel, great work !
Deux monstres de pur instance musical votre vidéo est génial merci beaucoup
Such huge difference! The Accu has much more of a honky and offset tone on the voices which is really strange. I strongly suspect an impedance mismatch in the phonostage(s) or different RIAA curves are used in the accu and the denon. Ideally, when comparing integrateds you'd want to use a dedicated phonostage that is correctly matched for your MC cart impedance and feed the line input of the amp(s) you're comparing. Otherwise, you're just comparing phono stages.
Thanks ! I have relayed your video on all Accuphase groups on Facebook. ;)

I wasn't thinking about getting Denon, but you really tickled my thoughts about getting one. I purchased PMA1700NE, and now I am over the moon about how it turned out well. I also have B&W 706 S2, and in my opinion, it's just a pure joy listening to the music. Not less important, it looks beautiful (silver), even more in real. Cheers!

I bought a PMA 1520ae for 450 euro and what a steal and a big step up from my 720ae. So much power and bass control my 720 did not have.
Accuphase is so smoooooth! Denon sounds nice, there is a warm bloom from it on these speakers. Accuphase while being more accurate is still smooth and easy to listen to.
The Accuphase looks nice to me. Would never have thought to compare it to a Denon. A Luxman seems a more appropriate comparison. You repeatedly mentioned the Denon's built in phono preamp, but a phono pre appropriate for your beautiful turntable would not cost much (a Gold Note PH10 would be overkill, but even that only costs $1,500). Thanks for sharing.
Denon's voice is sweet and smooth. The sense of music is better.
Wonderful comparison, Accuphase gets my vote. Overall, very relaxed and at the same time deep layers in the music.😊

I have Denon but I vote Accuphase too 😂
I honestly didn't expect Denon to ever beat Accuphase, but it seems I was sorely mistaken. Accuphase, on the other hand, sounds good on 4 ohm speakers. Anyway, it is good to know that from Denon there are only 2-3 models that sound like an amplifier should really sound, and here I mean from this model up to the SX1 Limited Edition.
thanx for the effort , accuphase for me ❤
Great video. Thanks.
Good video, thanks Tharbamar.
I no longer bother with records so on that note the Accuphase having power meters is more appealing. 🤗
Well said Bro Any reason for not choosing Luxman L-507Z
Great review. Quick question please. What power supply did you use in the review??? I noticed the cord was red in your video. I’m debating on getting a cheap linear power supply or the ifi power X for my Wiim.
Denon for me. Musical and dynamic.
I noticed other people on other sites use the Denon CD players and Denon amp (priced at $4,000). They must be good sounding.
Denon more musical mids slight roll off highs. It has subtlety. Accu more lively, 3d, inner detail,more sparkle, air. It will depend on price and preference. Denon seem to be more bang for the buck.
Both are very good Japanese amplifiers. Generally, Accuphase is a more High end brand than Denon (in terms of price), but for the sound it is really subject to personal taste. I think JBL has better matching with Denon with more engaging vocals while Accuphase is a bit too gentle
Hi Tharbamar... thanks for this review...I went with mostly a vintage setup...Denon dcd sacd/dac xlr out to Klimax pre amp to vintage onkyo e30 EQ to vintage Yamaha m2 amp to vintage spendor s100...sounds much better and cost less than much of todays gear...some associated risk with vintage gear but it's worth keeping it operating....and more pleasing to my ears...the Klimax pre amp works better with my vintage setup so I'm selling the Denon SX1 limited...bigger brother to your SX11 here...it has fully balanced Class A...

Accuphase is really, really good but it's not extremely good (like the best transistor brands like Nagra, Spectral, Boulder) Funny thing is that Spectral is the cheapest of those three but sits alone at the top in performance.
Blind test here - I like the first demo more. There is a better optimal balance between deepness and richness of the music. The second one has deeper sound аnd better HF but there is a gap between the HF and the overal music for me,there's something i'm missing. Maybe it depends on the acoustic of the room by the record or my barbarian ears don't now. Happy listening 😊

Nice comparison. The denon sounds louder but not quite as acurrate. Sounds bloomy whereas the accuphase sounds a lot more natural
Assuming that both system is operated at the same volume,I like the matching of Denon and Tad’s, there is a little more weight to the sound esp.the vocals( listener’s perception). I like the Accuphase too, the way it looks with meters moving , makes the experience more enjoyable.Otherwise if not listening keenly, you would not know the difference.Peace!
The sound of the Denon is more to my liking. The use of an external phono stage in this test would have been better in favour of a more objective comparison between those two amplifiers. (???)
Love Denon
Flawless comparison. Very focused and precise. I tend to lean towards the Denon. That accuphase is great. I’ve seen other reviews but that price is too much for the accuphase. Yes the laws of diminishing apply to it. I myself prefer detail so the accuphase would be my choice if money was not an issue . That’s why I usually overall prefer Yamaha’s integrated. They are very detailed, natural/flat sounding without much coloration.

@nixanthrope

My $0.02...I've used a vintage Accuphase power amp with the S300mkIIs, so not a direct comparison, but my thought is the Buchardts are midrange-centric speakers with a polite top end, abnormally low bass extension, and mellow presentation. The Accuphase has no trouble driving these speakers with their slightly demanding impedance requirements and leaves nothing on the table bass-wise, though in my view it doesn't do anything to balance out the Buchardts' characteristics. This being a good thing or a bad thing is entirely dependent on your needs and tastes; if you like midrange-centric mellow music, it's a great match, if you need something that raises your blood pressure a little more, you might want something else.
Did you have a chance to listen and compare them with more affordable Denon PMA110? If yes, could you please share your thoughts about it)

thanks @@briancampbell7712 i think the name of the game here is you can’t go wrong with well made Japanese gear as the build quality inspires pride of ownership, and as you imply buying from Japan offers better selection and often lower prices. I was talking to a repair tech who said Accuphase is good for 40 years, that’s nuts! While your Panasonic VCR, Apple iic, and NES from 1985 decompose in a landfill, the Accuphase and Denon integrateds are soldiering on.
Listened through my BW P7 wired. It's surprising how the sound of the intro guitar is so different from one amp to the other. After several times going back and forth, I think the Acc is more "hifi", in the sense that there are details that seem to be missing with the Denon. From a strictly musicality perspective, I think they're both equally enjoyable, although I think people who like details may be more satisfied with the Acc.
I don’t know if the microphones are a bit overloaded by the Accuphase, but the Accuphase sound is a bit chesty, raspy and the mids are a bit deflated like there’s a small loss of meat in the mids compared to Denon. Also the highs are a bit too metallic with the Accuphase. Denon sounds more organic from top to bottom. For me Denon is a better sound signature! Great review !!!! 😊

How does the Denon PMA-A110 compare to this flagahip model. Is it more similar than different? Would it be an upgrade from Arcam SA30?
I don't like these kind of comparisons because what I hear is very different than what you hear. So after traveling the internet to my PC and playing back through my Audio Engine A2's and a Mojo Dac I thought that the Accuphase had a better, brighter, more detailed sound than the somewhat muffled sound of the Denon. I have to say that I spent an evening at a get-together where some of the best Japanese components were being displayed and hooked up in all sorts of setups. Luxman, Accuphase, Esoteric Audio, and some Spectral Audio components were on hand. It was a fascinating evening of music, craft beers, and food plus people's perceptions on equipment. Oh, and some of the best built stuff that I have ever seen.
Après plusieurs visionnage j'ai une préférence sur le accuphase il plus cristallin et le détail son plus défini
Hello, sorry to say I prefer the Denon: Fluid, natural, vivid, foot taping, extended trebles. Accuphage is too much in the control, too school, less extended in term of bandwith. Having said that this is though youtube and both sounds great anyway. Very nice video, thanks for that 😉
Denon makes you feel more original voice, Accuphase on the other hand is brighter and feels like it did some tweaking and made the voice and music lil artificial. But it all depends upon choice and liking and yes every amp has its own circuitry so different voice all together
Blind listening tests are the way. You will be surprised at how good some cheaper gear matched well sounds in a decent acoustically treated room.

I have the SX-11. I listen to it through Aerial Acoustics 7B speakers and am VERY happy with its performance. I like its ability to control bass and deliver it with authority and ample headroom. The Aerial Acoustics 7B's are 4 ohm speakers and the SX-11 drives them to the fullest of their ability without any problem. I had an Accuphase E-408 before and the SX-11 is noticeably better and more dynamic. Of course the E-408 is several generations behind the E4000. The phono section is excellent too on the SX-11. When you factor in the price differences, it's a no brainer for me to go with the SX-11.

Denon sounds better with vocals and has more body and soundstage also slightly better. And for half the price come on bro Denon has got to be the winner by miles...
Denon class A sound better , than class AB . I prefer a preamp class A with 3 stereo power amp class D . Crossover of the speakers is what really made a lot difference in sound quality, you change a crossover from 1300 hz to 1000 hz and is like spending 10000 dls . Cables do not made any change , use 12 awg or 10 awg solid wire . Those jbl need boxes of 130 to 220 liters to really sound good .
Sorry cant beat the Accuphase!
In this comparison, the Denon sounds much better.
