Accuphase E-5000 Integrated Amplifier
Flagship Class AB integrated amplifier with exceptional power, refinement, and control for high-end stereo systems.
The Accuphase E-5000 Integrated Amplifier stands as the pinnacle of Accuphase’s integrated amplifier lineup, combining the precision of a reference-grade preamplifier with the strength of a high-current power amplifier. Designed for demanding listeners, the E-5000 delivers 240 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 320 watts per channel into 4 ohms, ensuring effortless dynamics, deep bass, and crystalline detail.
The Accuphase E-5000 features the innovative Balanced AAVA (Analog Vari-gain Amplifier) volume control, offering pure, noise-free level adjustment without compromising musical integrity. The power stage employs a fivefold parallel push-pull Class AB output configuration, supported by a massive toroidal transformer and large filter capacitors for rock-solid stability and commanding performance.
A fully balanced signal path extends from input to output, minimizing noise and distortion across the frequency range. The E-5000 achieves a damping factor of 1000, guaranteeing unmatched speaker control and responsiveness. Thoughtful features include tone and balance controls, dual speaker outputs, and a high-quality headphone amplifier.
Connectivity is equally comprehensive, with both RCA and balanced XLR inputs, pre-out/main-in terminals, and two expansion slots for optional modules such as the DAC-60 digital input board or AD-60 phono stage. Every element of the E-5000 reflects Accuphase’s commitment to precision engineering and timeless design.
