Accuphase Integrated Amplifier E-4000

Description

Accuphase E-4000

Overview

The E-4000 integrated amplifier has emerged from separate amplifier technologies. The preamplifier section features AAVA using ANCC to allow for volume adjustments that maintain high levels of vibrancy. The power amp section employs balanced transmission utilising the instrumentation amplifier principle to drive noise suppression to its limit. The E-4000 is equipped with a four-fold parallel push pull configuration of power transistors driven in Class AB in the output stage to extract every last ounce of potential from the speakers and create sound scapes filled with subtlety.
