Do you own this Recorder ? So cool !
Very nice to hear so! I often look at and touch on L-509X at several HiFi audio shops in Tokyo with my hungry eyes.
Your enthusiasums lead me considering another option of replacing TA-A1ES with L-509X; so that I may try (I may have fun of) many combinations of Accuphase E-480, Yamaha A-S3000 and Luxman L-509X, all have nice-looking VUs, in the provisionally completed setup of my multichannel multi-amplifier project...

Hello laudio,
Just for your interests and reference, I recently rather intesively tested/evaluated Teac AX-505 and AP-505 in my multichannel multi-amplifier project in post #290 Part-1 and post #291 Part-2.
As shared in my post #292 there, I was almost deciding to use two of AP-505 to directly dedicatedly drive my woofers at that time. After intensively evaluating Yamaha A-S3000 in January, however, I decided to use A-S3000 instead of AP-505 in my multichannel multi-amplifier sysytem.
I still believe Teac AP-505 is really nice Class-D amp especially for Lo and Mid range where the possible very faint high-range Class-D specific(?) hiss noise can be cut off by digital crossover or cannot be heard by woofer or midrange squawker....
... I don't get hiss in my setups with the AP-505,
... I agree it's a nice class D amp for the price....
These are the Elicit-R specs.It can't even manage a 4Ohm load... let alone transients;
Power Output
105 W per channel into 8 Ω
127 W per channel into 6 Ω

At the time a number of Rega products were mentioned... so I must have misread.These are the Elicit-R specs.
Hmm...my ideal...I guess would be a fully integrated one-box with the following:
Double-height form with a visual 'split' between the 'pre' and 'power' sections of the amp. It would look like this but with less / no buttons, and possibly the volume on top ala Naim Uniti:

Starting with the power amplifier section, internally it would be a pair of Purifi cores arranged in 'dual mono' with a separate power supply. No bi-wire option because it's pointless. As there would be loads of space, you could include NAD-like expansion slots so that features can be added later.
Sitting in the box above would be the following:
- A DAC with Topping D90s performance
- A network streaming platform with all the usual suspects
- A copy of the Gold Note PH-10 phono stage, with its 'on the fly' loading adjustments and adjustable equalization curves
- A decent number of balanced and unbalanced, plus digital inputs and HDMI Arc
The closest thing to my ideal is probably Accuphase E-480.
