Innovative AAVA type volume control guarantees great sound and top performance Experience volume adjustment without deterioration in
S/N ratio or distortion. AAVA and other circuit modules are arranged on motherboard separately for left and right channels. Fully dual monaural construction features two separate power transformers. Dedicated phono equalizer unit allows analog record reproduction with superb fidelity.
The C-2400 inherits the design technology of the outstanding Accuphase C-2800, featuring the same AAVA type volume control. One of the most important aspects of a preamplifier is how it handles volume adjustment. AAVA (Accuphase
Analog Vari-gain Amplifier) is an innovative concept that differs radically from conventional variable-resistor type volume controls.
Amplification and volume control are fully unified,
eliminating all mechanical contact points. Pure analog processing ensures optimum performance and superb sound. Doing away with the variable resistor in the signal path has numerous advantages and brings the amplifier
a significant step closer to absolute purity in signal transmission. Another benefit of AAVA is that it is configured only with highly reliable semiconductor components. This assures that performance and sound quality will remain undiminished for many years to come. The large volume knob on the front panel employs a position detection method that combines superb precision with a smooth conventional feel.
The power transformer, filtering capacitors and all other parts of the power supply are duplicated for the left and right channel. What's more, all unit amplifiers such as for line input, balanced output, and AAVA are also entirely separate for
the two channels, arranged on a high-quality motherboard. This fully monaural construction prevents unwanted interaction both on the electrical and the physical plane.
The line amplifier with integrated volume control is a major aspect of the C-2400, but there are also a host of other attractive features in this
