    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.

    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.

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.

    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

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.

    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.

    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 !!!! 😊

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.

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.

    About 10-15% improvements going from SX-11 to E-4000, A-110 is rebadge PMA-2500NE with better parts (see my old post on channel community page) another important point Accuphase is made upmost care and quality control. Sound is subjective by persons.

    @@Tharbamar Hmm, it depends on which Class D to which class AB, isn't it? I am confused now. I replaced my NAD C338 with Denon PMA 1700NE, and I am blown away by the difference. I wasn't even sure if it pays out to replace NAD because I was really happy with it, and I still think it's amazing. But now, with Denon, I have the opinion that I would never go back to class D. Hmm, I don't think I will ever even need to, because I don't think I will replace PMA 1700NE any time soon. I believe you are thinking of saving money on paying electricity bills, not the sound quality, right? :) Cheers!

    Este tipo de comparaciónes sólo tienen sentido si se hacen a ciegas. Son muy subjetivas si sabemos que máquina estamos escuchando. Aquí está claro que ganará el Accuphase, es una marca más "audiofila" y con más pedigri que Denon, y eso que este modelo (el Denon) es de muy alta gama. A mi casi me gusto un poco más este último, y seguramente sea hasta más barato, pero repito, estas pruebas tienen que ser a ciegas.

    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 .
