About the E-3000
The Accuphase E-3000 integrated amplifier combines technologies from high-end models, featuring AAVA (Accuphase Analog Vari-gain Amplifier) volume control with ANCC for superior noise performance and signal purity. It employs a three-fold parallel push-pull power transistor configuration in Class AB, providing powerful output of 100 watts into 8 ohms and 150 watts into 4 ohms. The power amplification stage uses an instrumentation amplifier principle with balanced remote sensing for a damping factor of 600, ensuring precise speaker control. Additional features include balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs, pre-out/main-in terminals, tone controls, loudness compensation, attenuator, remote control, and two expansion slots for optional boards like DAC-60 and AD-60. Its robust power supply with massive transformer and large filtering capacitors supports dynamic performance and low noise.
