The Accuphase E-800 is the flagship Class-A integrated amplifier featuring a Balanced AAVA volume control, instrumentation amplifier power stage with six-fold parallel push-pull power MOS-FETs in pure Class A operation. It delivers linear power progression of 50W/8Ω, 100W/4Ω, 200W/2Ω, and 300W/1Ω (music signals), with high damping factor of 1000. Designed with ultra-low noise circuitry, massive toroidal transformer, and dual 60,000μF filter capacitors, it matches separate high-end amplifiers in performance. Includes tone controls, headphone amp, option slots, and pre/power separation capability.
