Great high end, very good mid. Lots of power. Looks great. Does not run too hot.
Very musical. XLR connections. Great display and wooden sides. MM&MC preamp.
Resolution of inner detail, impact, excellent clarity,smooth highs,excellent bass - it is Accuphase - Japanese Jewel!

Really good play after one hour after switch power on. You must wait one hour
for best sound quality performance like tube amplifier. Could use a Remote to switch on and off
I want to listen to my CDs and LPs too late into the night. I am not getting enough sleep.

I was lucky enough to find this wonderful amplifier E-305"V" on secondhand. After 14 year still works and looks GREAT! The sound is superb. Excellent detail and the midrange and voices are outstanding. If you can still find one (They stoped making this model in 1994, but its successors are based on the same circuitry), be sure to pick it up. Its well worth the money.
This amplifier is truly superb.
Highly recommended!!
