A pre-main amplifier with a current feedback amplifier circuit in the power amplifier section.

The amplifier uses a current feedback type amplifier circuit that feeds back the output signal in the form of a current.
The principle is that a current is detected by lowering the impedance of the input terminal on the feedback side, and the current is converted into I-V by a transimpedance amplifier to produce an output signal. Since the impedance of the feedback input is extremely low, phase rotation is less likely to occur.
Since there is almost no need for phase compensation, it has excellent dynamic characteristics such as start-up and natural energy response.
In addition, high power is obtained by using a parallel audio power transistor for the output element, which has excellent characteristics such as frequency characteristics, linearity of current amplification factor and switching.

The power supply is equipped with a large power transformer with a high power capacity of approximately 500 VA and a large filter capacitor of 22,000 μ Fx2.

The line amplifier is composed of discrete parts. Basically, it has AccuPhase's original differential-pure complimentary service push-pull input, and the output-stage is finished a single-ended push-pull emitter-follower.

An equalizer amplifier with a dedicated input circuit is used in consideration of the characteristics of each MC and MM type cartridge.
Since the output voltage and output impedance of the cartridge are high at MM input, it is composed of an FET element that can maintain high input impedance over all frequency standby.
In addition, since the MC input receives very small signals with low impedance, a differential input circuit with low-noise elements is constructed to reduce the impedance of the NFB loop, enabling low-noise reproduction.

A logic relay control method is used to prevent signal degradation due to switching of the input selector, etc. and to configure the shortest and straight signal path.
The relay used is a sealed type for the communication industry. The contact is a gold-plated cross-bar twin type and realizes low contact resistance and high durability.

Two balanced inputs are available for balanced transmission.

The volume control features a high-quality volume and a small motor with clutch for smooth operation.
The included remote control allows volume adjustment by motor and input selector control by logic circuit.

A selector switch and input / output terminals are provided so that the preamplifier and power amplifier can be used independently.

Equipped with a large peak power meter to monitor output power.
Since the meter is logarithmic compression type, you can check a wide dynamic range at one time.

Uses a large speaker terminal that can handle thick speaker cables.
A banana plug can also be inserted into this terminal.
