Accuphase E-407

State-of-the-art integrated amplifier features current feedback topology for superb high-range phase fidelity. Wide-range power transistors in triple parallel push-pull configuration and massive toroidal transformer deliver ample power: 260 watts x 2 into 4 ohms, 180 watts x 2 into 8 ohms. Option board enables analog record reproduction in top-notch quality.
The E-407 represents a new pinnacle of amplifier design. Featuring latest technology and using only the highest quality materials, this integrated stereo amplifier is destined to become a new reference. Frequency response, S/N ratio,
and all other performance aspects make the E-407 perfectly suited for the new generation of ultra high quality program sources such as SACD and DVD-Audio.
An integrated amplifier provides various advantages such as convenient operation and modest space requirements. However, because its overall gain is very high, even the slightest interference or crosstalk at the input can have a considerable effect on the sonic result. To preclude this possibility, the E-407 is designed to achieve total electrical and structural separation of the preamplifier and power amplifier sections. These two parts operate as if they were entirely separate components. A switch even allows using the preamplifier and power amplifier independently.Accuphase's highly acclaimed current feedback topology virtually eliminates phase shifts in the upper frequency range and assures outstanding
performance and sound quality. The power amplifier output stage employs a triple parallel pushpull configuration, using multi-emitter power transistors designed for high-power audio applications. Ample muscle is provided by the power
supply section which features a massive, highly efficient toroidal power transformer housed in a diecast enclosure equipped with heat fins.

In the standard configuration, the E-407 has six inputs, two of which employ the balanced principle that assures ideal signal transmission characteristics. Provisions for two tape recorders, with easy dubbing in both directions, tone controls, and
loudness compensation are further attractive features. An optional analog disc input board allows reproduction of analog records with outstanding sonic quality. The external design of the E-407 continues the Accuphase tradition, featuring a champagne gold brushed front panel. Two large power meters in the center are flanked by the input selector section and the volume control. Not only by virtue of
its excellent sound, from its looks as well the E-407 is a great addition to any living room.
