Accuphase E-3000 Integrated Amplifier

Pure Class AB Power with Exceptional Musical Control

The Accuphase E-3000 Integrated Amplifier delivers precision, transparency, and control in a refined stereo design built for discerning audiophiles. Every circuit and component reflects Accuphase’s dedication to musical realism and long-term reliability.

Inside, the Accuphase E-3000 employs the proprietary AAVA (Accuphase Analog Vari-gain Amplifier) volume control combined with the ANCC (Accuphase Noise & Distortion Cancelling Circuit) for pure signal integrity across all volume levels. Its high damping factor of 600 ensures outstanding grip over speakers, allowing music to unfold with effortless authority and control.

Rated at 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms (150 watts into 4 ohms), the Accuphase E-3000 delivers commanding drive and fluid dynamics for everything from high-efficiency bookshelf speakers to full-range floorstanders. A robust power supply with large filter capacitors and precision transistor design ensures low noise and wide dynamic range.

For connectivity, the Accuphase E-3000 provides five RCA line inputs, two balanced XLR inputs, and dual expansion slots that accommodate optional boards such as the DAC-60 for digital inputs or the AD-60 for phono playback. Dual speaker outputs (A/B), tone control, and pre-out/main-in connectors add flexibility for advanced system integration.

This amplifier is ideal for listeners who demand detail, depth, and refinement from every note. Its combination of craftsmanship, engineering, and musicality make it a true centerpiece for any premium two-channel system.
