Volume control for AAVA
The innovative AAVA (Accuphase Analog Vari-gain Amplifier) volume control on the Accuphase-E380 allows for precise volume adjustment without sacrificing sound quality. Unlike traditional volume controls, which use variable resistors that can degrade signal quality, the AAVA control employs a novel gain cell design that ensures a constant signal-to-noise ratio across the volume range. This ensures that even at low volumes, the sound remains clear and detailed. The AAVA volume control is just one of the many advanced features that distinguish the Accuphase E 380 as a class-leading integrated amplifier.

Amplification of power
The Accuphase-E 380 employs a Class AB power amplification system that produces 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms. The amplifier incorporates MOSFET power devices and a large toroidal transformer for stable power supply, and the MCS+ circuit topology ensures accurate and stable signal amplification. This allows the E380 to produce a powerful, dynamic, and detailed sound capable of driving a wide range of speaker systems. The power amplification in the Accuphase 380-E is critical to its ability to deliver exceptional audio performance in a compact and stylish package.

Amplifier for instrumentation
In its balanced input section, the Accuphase 380E has an advanced instrumentation amplifier circuit. This circuitry is built to provide superior common mode and noise rejection, resulting in accurate and detailed sound reproduction. To minimize distortion and ensure a clean signal path, the instrumentation amplifier employs precision matched components and advanced circuit design. The 380-E is able to reproduce even the most complex musical passages with remarkable fidelity and detail, making it an excellent choice for audiophiles and music enthusiasts alike.

Relays with logic control
The Accuphase E-380's signal path includes logic-control relays, which ensure precise and accurate switching between inputs and outputs. A microprocessor controls these relays, allowing for fast and reliable signal switching without the use of mechanical contacts or switches. As a result, the signal path is cleaner and more stable, with less noise and distortion. The logic-control relays also contribute to the amplifier's longevity by reducing wear and tear on its internal components. The logic-control relays on the E-380 Accuphase are just one example of the amplifier's advanced circuitry and attention to detail.

Powerful power supply
The E-380-Accuphase  has a strong and stable power supply, which is critical to its outstanding audio performance. A large toroidal transformer and high-capacity filtering capacitors are used to provide a clean and stable DC voltage to the amplifier's circuitry. This ensures that the E 380 can produce a powerful and dynamic sound that accurately reproduces the nuances and subtleties of the original music. The amplifier's powerful power supply also allows it to easily drive a wide range of speaker systems, making it a versatile and highly capable integrated amplifier.

Conclusion
The Accuphase E-380 is an outstanding integrated amplifier that provides exceptional audio performance in a compact and stylish package. Its advanced circuitry and innovative features, such as the AAVA volume control and logic-control relays, ensure precise and accurate signal processing, resulting in a clear and detailed sound. The amplifier's powerful power supply and power amplification system allow it to easily drive a wide range of speaker systems.
