Accuphase E-370 Integrated Stereo Amplifier, Champagne Gold, Twin Meters, With Remote Control

An Accuphase E-370 integrated stereo amplifier with a champagne-gold front, twin level meters and AAVA volume control, with its remote control.

The Piece

Accuphase began in Japan in 1972, and its gold-fronted amplifiers are among the best known in Japanese hi-fi.

The front panel has two large knobs either side of a dark window holding twin analogue meters. A hinged flap below hides the bass, treble and balance controls, the recorder and meter buttons, a DAC button and an MC/MM switch. The black rear panel carries line inputs, two sets of speaker terminals and the power inlet.

The previous owner highlights the AAVA electronic volume control and an output stage with a damping factor of 400. The shop checked power, buttons and sound output with its own equipment. The remote control is included, but its battery compartment shows leakage marks and its operation was not checked. Eight photographs cover the front, meters, controls, rear, rating plate and remote.
