Benefits of Accuphase E-480 Integrated Stereo Amplifier:
AAVA type volume control

AAVA is a revolutionary type of volume control that completely does away with any variable resistors in the signal path, using instead a combination of 16 V-I converter amplifiers with different gain. Because the music signal is not being attenuated by a rotary resistor, optimum S/N ratio and low distortion can be maintained over the entire volume range. The signal degradation and impedance changes of conventional designs are a thing of the past. In the E-480, the V-I converter amplifiers for the highest gain stage use four parallel circuits, providing ample operation leeway and ensuring high reliability and stability.
Power amplification stage with power MOS-FETs
Triple parallel push-pull output stage with power MOS-FETs renowned for high sound quality.
20% improved damping factor
Balanced Remote Sensing and MOS-FET switches result in a damping factor of 600, representing a 20% improvement over earlier models.
Power supply designed for optimum stability
Large toroidal transformer and massive 40,000 μF filtering capacitors provide rock-stable high-quality power. Two power amplifier units for left and right mounted directly to large heat sinks deliver impeccable 180 watts into 8 ohms or 260 watts into 4 ohms.
