RE: Accuphase is a gold standard

I don't know if it's the Gold Standard but the Accuphase DP-65v CDP that I own is definitely well built. I bought it used when it was already about 7 or 8 years old and I kept it over other newer CDPs that I liked and have respect for.

It came down to the newer Cary CD-306/200 and later the Cary CD-303/300. I also had the Sony XA7ES. I've kept the Accuphase DP-65v and the rest are long gone. I think the Accuphase is maybe 16 or 17 years old now. I believe they came out around 1997 / 1998 +/-.

On a side note, there's an inmate who frequents the Asylum who had the Accuphase DP-65v and sold it when he bought his Raysonic player. He was pretty excited about it claiming that it was noticeably better sounding than the Accuphase. Could be. About 4 years later that same inmate was posting questions on the Asylum about where to get his Raysonic fixed. I don't know the whole story but I think they either went belly up or had issues with their distribution or dealer network. In the end, I'm not sure if he ever got his Raysonic CDP repaired. Raysonic was a Canadian company with equipment manufactured in China.

My Accuphase DP-65v still going strong after 16+ years
