Accuphase E-5000 Integrated Stereo Amplifier

The E-5000 stands as Accuphase’s premier Class AB integrated amplifier, crafted to celebrate the company’s 50th milestone. Its preamplifier section incorporates the advanced Balanced AAVA volume control, while the power amplifier section employs an instrumentation amp and power transistors arranged in a robust five-fold push-pull configuration, operating in Class AB. These meticulously engineered circuits ensure a fully balanced signal path from input to output. With its expertly designed circuitry and formidable output stage, the E-5000 integrated amplifier delivers every musical note with stunning clarity.
