Brand: Accuphase
The Accuphase P-1000 is a high-end audio power amplifier designed and manufactured by the Japanese audio brand Accuphase. It is part of their flagship E1000 series and represents the pinnacle of their amplification technology.The P-1000 features a push-pull circuit topology, employing eight substantial power transistors per channel for a total output power of up to 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms. However, it is the quality of the circuit design and the components used that truly sets the P-1000 apart from other amplifiers.The amplifier incorporates Accuphase's proprietary damping factor control technology, the V2LD (Variable Voltage Load Device), which provides a constant image impedance of 10 ohms regardless of the calibrated load impedance. Additionally, it utilizes their unique DSR (Double Super Regulator) technology for low-noise voltage regulation, and a custom-designed toroidal transformer for low-noise power supply.These sophisticated features allow the P-1000 to produce a wide frequency response of 0.5 Hz to 100 kHz (-3 dB), low-level detail retrieval, a powerful and dynamic sound, and a remarkably low noise floor. The Amplifier's generous input and output connectors, including balanced XLR and single-ended RCA inputs and outputs, as well as an impressive range of adjustments and protections, facilitate customizable and safe operation for audiophiles of different needs.Overall, the Accuphase P-1000 represents a peerless accomplishment in high-end audio amplification technology and is an exemplary demonstration of the brand's philosophy of fewest possible components for better audio reproduction.
