Accuphase E-800 Class-A Integrated Stereo Amplifier


Accuphase E-800 Class-A Integrated Stereo Amplifier
The E-800 is positioned above the E-650 as the new flagship model in the integrated amplifier line-up of Accuphase. The preamplifier section features the impeccable Balanced AAVA type volume control, while the power amplifier section is configured as an instrumentation amplifier using a six-fold parallel push-pull configuration of power OS-FETs driven in pure Class A. The resulting quality is on a par with high-class separate type amplifiers. Operating as a simple and smart system, the E-800 realizes acoustic excellence that reaches to the very heart of the music.
