The Accuphase E-202 integrated stereo amplifier incorporates advanced engineering techniques derived from the P-300 Power Amplifier and C-200 Control Center, offering 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms with distortion less than 0.1% across the 20 Hz to 20 kHz audio range. It features a parallel push-pull output stage with heavy-duty power transistors and large heat sinks to ensure reliability and excellent sound quality at all listening levels, including low volumes. The amplifier includes tone controls with ±10 dB adjustment for bass and treble, various filters (high, low, subsonic), and a mute function. It supports speaker loads from 4 to 16 ohms and has separable pre- and power amplifier stages. The unit measures 455 x 152 x 355 mm, weighs 19.5 kg, and was manufactured in Japan between 1974 and 1979. It is renowned for its build quality, sonic performance, and classic design with large meters and robust speaker terminals.
