About the C-57
The Accuphase C-57 is a high-end stereo phono stage featuring a fully balanced configuration from input to output, incorporating the latest ANCC (Accuphase Noise and Distortion Cancelling Circuit) in the MC head amplifier for superior noise reduction (-156dBV input conversion noise). It supports both MM and MC cartridges with extensive load impedance options, including a new 60Ω setting for low-impedance MCs. Designed with dual mono construction, low flux leakage toroidal transformers, eight 15,000μF filtering capacitors, and a high-precision RIAA equalizer (±0.3dB deviation). It includes one balanced MC input and three line inputs, balanced and unbalanced outputs, subsonic filter, and separate settings memory per input. Dimensions match the C-47 at 14.8kg weight, with redesigned internals for enhanced performance.
