Accuphase A-36

The new A-36 inherits many of the outstanding design technology features developed for the higher-end models. It redefines the baseline for pure class A power amplifiers and represents the same unwavering attention to detail and dedication to sound quality for which Accuphase is justly famous.
In the output stage power MOS-FETs renowned for their excellent frequency response sonic performance and superior reliability are used in a triple parallel configuration and driven in pure class A. This is sustained by the strong power supply featuring a massive transformer and two large 47 000μF filtering capacitors. Output power in each channel is rated for an impressive 150 watts into 1 ohm 120 watts into 2 ohms 60 watts into 4 ohms and 30 watts into 8 ohms. Even speakers with ultralow impedance or drastic fluctuations in impedance curve can be driven reliably by this impressive amplifier.
In the output circuitry MOS-FET switches are used in place of relays to eliminate mechanical contacts and improve long-term reliability.
