Who is this for?
The E-3000 is an integrated amplifier that inherits the technology of high-end models and has expressive power and a variety of functions that go beyond its class.
By adding the optional DAC-60 digital input board and AD-60 analog phono stage board, you can enjoy high-quality playback of digital music signals and analog discs.
The volume control circuit is equipped with Accuphase's AAVA technology, which adjusts volume without impairing the freshness of the performance.

A range of sophisticated option boards opens up even more possibilities. The Accuphase DAC Input Board features a USB port and support for high-bit, high-sampling frequency signals up to 192 kHz/24 bits. The newly developed Analog Disc Input Board AD-60 is also available, ideal for high-grade reproduction of analog records using either MC or MM phono cartridges.
Conventional preamplifiers use variable resistors to adjust volume, which causes contacts to deteriorate and create grit as well as increase noise at normal volume levels. AAVA, however, produces multiple, widely varying signals from the input signal and controls volume by changing the combination of those signals. This achieves minimum noise at all volume levels without any grit. The E-4000 with its balanced AAVA circuits delivers exceptional noise suppression performance.
The Accuphase E-3000 is ideal for music lovers taking their first serious step into high-end HiFi. It suits listeners who value refinement, musicality, and long-term ownership quality, but want a more approachable entry point into the Accuphase range.
Its balanced, effortless presentation pairs beautifully with premium bookshelf or compact floorstanding speakers in small to medium listening rooms. The E-3000 is particularly well suited to listeners upgrading from mainstream integrated amplifiers and looking for a more natural, spacious, and emotionally engaging sound.
For customers building a high-quality two-channel system that prioritises musical enjoyment over sheer complexity, the E-3000 offers an exceptional blend of performance, craftsmanship, and everyday usability.
