Accuphase A-36 Class-A 30W/ch Stereo Power Amplifier
Please Call For Price.
Accuphase A-36 – We only stock brands that we love at HFL so it was a pleasant surprise when I had an opportunity to listen to the Accuphase E-650 and instantly I was smitten, I have to say I was almost won over by the looks before it had even created a singe note, the presentation sounds just right though, honest but with a tad of warmth giving a very natural sound so if you are looking for a new amp, pre or source feel free to get in touch to arrange a demo of Accuphase.
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.

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.
