Accuphase

E-3000 Integrated Amplifier

The E-3000 is Accuphase’s new ‘entry-level’ integrated amplifier. However, the term ‘entry-level’ should be considered with a pinch of salt, as this model is truly exceptional.

It replaces both the previous E-280 and E-380 models, and has more than exceeded our already high expectations. The E-3000 is on permanent demonstration at Loud & Clear Glasgow, so please get in touch to arrange a listening session!

Accuphase E-3000 Integrated Amplifier

The E-3000 integrated amplifier emerged from the path forged by the technologies used in their high-end equipment.

Among this amplifier’s constituent elements, the vitally important volume control circuits incorporate AAVA that employs the ANCC (Accuphase Noise and distortion Canceling Circuit) principle. The power amplifier section produces balanced signals relying on the instrumentation amplifier principle while simultaneously creating a robust output stage through three-fold parallel push-pull power transistors driven in class AB. Every moment spent immersed in the vibrant playback of the E-3000 is one to relish.
