Retail price: 7800.00
With a focus on accuracy and minimal noise, this preamp offers AAVA volume control, which operates without variable resistors in the signal path. Thanks to built-in ANCC technology, the system reduces unwanted noise and distortion by applying subtle corrections to both the main gain circuit and the balanced and headphone outputs. Independent power supplies for left and right channels, each with a dedicated transformer, support consistent signal processing. Five line inputs and two balanced inputs provide flexibility, while optional expansion modules add digital and analog playback. Internal circuitry and component selection are designed to provide a natural and coherent soundstage, specifically tuned by Accuphase for a high level of musicality.
The Accuphase E-480 is designed from Accuphase's philosophy of ultimate musical expression and precision. The amplifier uses a separated MCS+ topology with Current Feedback technology for optimal signal transmission. High-quality components are carefully selected, including special capacitors and internal wiring made of pure copper. The solid aluminum housing effectively dampens vibrations. Manufacturing and tuning take place manually in Yokohama, Japan. Development is overseen by Accuphase veteran engineers such as Yamada and Nishio.
Accuphase was founded in Tokyo in 1972 as Kensonic Laboratory by brothers Nakaichi and Jiro Kasuga. The company name changed to Accuphase Laboratory, Inc. in 1982 to unify the brand name and company name. The brand introduced its first products, the preamplifier C-200, the power amplifier P-300 and the tuner T-100, in 1973. These models were produced with high-quality components and sophisticated workmanship, and immediately received positive reactions and awards. Since 1973, Accuphase has operated from Yokohama, Japan, where its headquarters are located and the brand has expanded its product line to include various audio devices.
