The E-204 is a new 75W/channel high quality Integrated Stereo Amplifier which received the full benefit of Accuphase's outstanding separate amplifier design technology in its development. Its powerful output stage is built around MOS FET's which are regarded as the best power amplification devices available. MOS FET's ensure a big improvement in the brilliance of treble reproduction by eliminating notching distortion, making its low distortion measurements comparable to Class-A operation characteristics. Another big advantage of MOS FET's is their high durability and heat resistant properties, both important requisites for devices used in power amplifier applications.
The E-204 employs these superior MOS FET's about which more details are given in another section, in a complementary-symmetry push-pull ppwer output stage that delivers a high quality 75 watts of power into both channels simultaneously at 8 ohms over a frequency range of 20 to 20,000Hz, with less than 0,01% distortion.
Pure DC amplifiers are used in both the voltage amplifier and power amplifier sections which permit direct coupling between them to contribute to improved sound. Employment of DC Servo Control in both sections further guarantees stable DC operation.
A built-in, 26 dB Head Amplifier in the Preamplifier section makes possible direct connections of high quality MC cartridges that require the extra amplification boost to bring their levels up to that of MM cartridges.
In creating the E-204 a most rigid program of parts selection was followed to ensure that this amplifier would give forth outstanding expressive power of music. Rigid parts selection is a basic policy of Accuphase whose engineers are well aware of the fact that two amplifiers with identical electrical specifications do not necessarily produce the same sound. Long experience in the pursuit of perfection has taught them that high quality parts make the difference in amplifiers which have that special power to express music more brilliantly clearly and impressively.
This amplifier is equipped with many useful functions such as a -20 dB At
tenuator switch which is convenient to start off records, a Disc Input Impedance Selector switch, and a switch taht permits separation of the preamp and the power amplifier.
An LED is located above each of the four Input Selector switches on the front panel. One of them will illuminate to indicate the input source that is selected.
