The story
Introduced in 2025, the E-3000 is the first Accuphase at this price to carry ANCC, the noise and distortion cancelling circuit from the company's flagship preamplifiers. A low-noise secondary amplifier measures what the main AAVA amplifier gets wrong and subtracts it, so the volume control is quieter at every setting. The power stage uses three-fold parallel push-pull transistors in Class AB, arranged as an instrumentation amplifier with current-feedback topology and balanced remote sensing, behind a large toroidal transformer and high-voltage filter capacitors.
Five line inputs, two balanced inputs, a recorder loop, pre-out and main-in jacks, a dedicated headphone amplifier and tone and loudness controls cover a complete system, and the two option slots accept the DAC-60 digital board (USB, coaxial, optical) and the AD-60 moving-magnet / moving-coil phono board. At 100 watts into 8 ohms and 150 into 4, with a damping factor of 600, the E-3000 drives most speakers in small and medium rooms with the composure Accuphase is known for.
Accuphase builds every component in a single finish, so there is nothing to choose. The champagne-gold front panel has been the house signature since 1972.
