Accuphase E-800S Integrated Amplifier – The Pinnacle of Class A Performance
The Accuphase E-800S stands at the very summit of integrated amplifier design. As the evolved successor to the original E-800 (Accuphase’s 50th anniversary model), the E-800S sets a new benchmark for ultra-low noise, musical transparency, and effortless power—delivering the kind of performance that rivals many separate pre/power combinations.
Why the E-800S is in a League of Its Own
-
True Class A Powerhouse:
Enjoy 50W per channel (8Ω, Class A), with linear power scaling to 100W (4Ω), 200W (2Ω), and up to 300W (1Ω)—allowing the E-800S to drive even the most demanding loudspeakers with ease, authority, and musical finesse. -
Ultra-Low Noise, Fully Balanced Design:
The E-800S features Accuphase’s latest Balanced AAVA (Analog Vari-gain Amplifier) volume control with ANCC (Accuphase Noise and Distortion Cancelling Circuit), delivering a guaranteed S/N ratio of 105dB—the lowest noise floor of any Accuphase integrated to date. The entire signal path, from input to output (including the advanced tone control), is fully balanced for maximum purity and noise rejection. -
Mono-Block Construction & Massive Power Supply:
Dual independent power amplifier modules, a huge toroidal transformer, and two 63,000μF filter capacitors anchor the E-800S’s foundation. This ensures rock-solid stability, channel separation, and dynamic headroom—no matter how complex the music. -
Flagship-Level Damping and Control:
With a guaranteed damping factor of 1000 (matching Accuphase’s A-80 reference power amp), the E-800S delivers absolute grip and precision, revealing every nuance and texture in your music. -
Refined Operation and Luxury Touches:
The E-800S’s custom volume sensor mechanism is engineered for a supremely smooth, quiet, and tactile feel, with floating isolation to eliminate vibration and mechanical noise. The 30-segment LED power meters provide precise, real-time output monitoring—even at the lowest listening levels. -
Versatility and Expandability:
Three lines of balanced inputs, two pairs of heavy-duty speaker terminals, and dual option board slots for digital (DAC-60) or phono (AD-60) upgrades. Front-panel selection of digital input, MC/MM phono mode, and MC loading for total system flexibility. -
Advanced Protection and Longevity:
MOS-FET relay-free speaker protection, photo-coupler short-circuit detection, temperature sensors, and gold-plated signal paths ensure flawless operation and long-term reliability.
Technical Highlights:
- Output Power: 50W x 2 (8Ω, Class A), 100W x 2 (4Ω), 200W x 2 (2Ω), up to 300W x 2 (1Ω)
