Accuphase E-3000 Integrated Stereo Amplifier

Available for audition.

The Accuphase E-3000 is a 100-watt-per-channel integrated stereo amplifier that brings technologies developed for the company’s higher-end components into a refined, compact design. Its AAVA volume control incorporates the ANCC principle for exceptionally low noise, while the Class AB output stage uses three-fold parallel push-pull power transistors and an instrumentation-amplifier configuration for confident speaker control.
