    Accuphase P-260 vs P-300X

    I auditioned Both the P-260 and the P-300X on Saturday. Both sounded fantastic and were in mint condition. The P-300 had a very smooth big sound but the P-260 just sounded so right especially when in class A mode. Tons of detail with a great top and bottom end! I went with the P-260 and...

    Nothing is wrong mainly just a refresh/rewire. The arm is 40+ years old. The rewire of the arm thru smetonearms includes an complete breakdown/rebuild and replacement of any damaged parts to bring back to factory spec. Cheers, Ray

    I did talk to Albert at smetonearms a couple weeks ago about a rebuild. Great guy with a ton of knowledge. I could replace the couplers on my own but the rest of the arm I would leave to the experts. Cheers, Ray
