The story
The E-4000 brings separates technology into one chassis. Its volume control is Accuphase's balanced AAVA, with the ANCC circuit cancelling the residual noise and distortion of the volume amplifier, so the quietest passages keep their detail. The power stage is an instrumentation amplifier with four-fold parallel push-pull transistors in Class AB, current-feedback topology and balanced remote sensing, behind a toroidal transformer and two 40,000 µF/80 V filter capacitors. A damping factor of 800 keeps bass drivers under control.
Five line inputs, two balanced inputs, a recorder loop, balanced and line pre-outs and main-ins, a dedicated headphone amplifier and tone and loudness controls make it a complete system hub, and two option slots accept the DAC-60 digital board or the AD-60 phono board. With 180 watts into 8 ohms and 260 into 4, the E-4000 is the Accuphase integrated we recommend most often for medium and large rooms and full-range speakers.
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.

The high-power Class AB integrated in the middle of the range. The E-6000 adds more power; the E-700 and E-800S trade watts for pure Class A.
Add the DAC-60 board for digital inputs or the AD-60 board for phono. For a dedicated phono stage, see the C-57.
