Accuphase A-47 Class A Stereo Power Amp (used)
An opportunity to own a legendary Accuphase class A stereo power amplifier. Priced to sell quickly.
The A-47 was the successor model to the A-46, based on the design technology developed for higher-ranked models. It is a full-fledged Pure Class A Stereo Amplifier that produces truly captivating sound.
The output stage of the A-47 uses high-performance power MOS-FETs ideal for audio applications. For each channel, six devices are arranged in a parallel push-pull Pure Class A arrangement. This results in very low output impedance, ensuring that constant drive voltage is available also for low-impedance loads. Superior performance is evident from the linear power progression of 45 watts into 8 ohms, 90 watts into 4 ohms, and 180 watts into 2 ohms. The amplifier is even capable of driving ultra-low 1-ohm impedances with an amazing 360 watts (music signals only).
The input stage circuitry is configured as an instrumentation amplifier. This approach makes it possible to achieve fully balanced signal paths, extending from the signal input all the way to the final power amp stage.
Using the A-47 in bridged mode creates a mono amplifier with even more impressive power output capability, rated for 180 watts into 8 ohms, 360 watts into 4 ohms, and 720 watts into 2 ohms (music signals only).
- Pure Class A operation delivers quality power: 45 watts x 2 into 8 ohms
- Power MOS-FET output stage features 6-parallel push-pull configuration
- Instrumentation amplifier principle used in amplification stage
- Further evolved MCS+ circuit topology
- Current feedback principle combines stable operation with outstanding sound quality
- Bridged connection mode allows upgrading to monophonic amplifier
- Large high-efficiency toroidal power transformer
- 4-stage gain control

CH Precision P1 / X1 with EQ Board Option (used)
Current models. Until the Launch of the £70,000 P10 last year, the P1 / X1 combination was regarded by many of the worlds high end audiophiles and critics as the finest phono stage on the planet. When we heard it first (nearly two years ago) we could not believe the performance available from a turntable.
The X1 Power supply comes with additional regulator stage for powering an additional CH Precision item such as L1 pre-amplifier, D1.5 or C1.
This pair is now available used in excellent condition from a customer who is making the leap to the P10.
The phono stage embraces two technologies, with current sensing to bring out the best in high end MC phono cartridges.
The incorporation of EQ curves for correction of early vinyl recordings brings about a life and vitality never heard before in some of the finest recordings ever committed to disc.
