I have owned three Accuphase integrated amps - E205, E303 and for the last few years an E406V. They are all magnificent integrated amps!! Amazing build quality, massive power and absolutely neutral sound typify all these amps. The 406V in particular is an amazing piece of hardware and all the amp anyone could ever need (VU meters are nice things to have too).
It's such a shame that Accuphase is a largely ignored brand in the UK.
If you value accuracy of musical representation, that is an exact representation of what has been recorded and nothing more, then Accuphase is as good a place to start as anything else.
