Accuphase M6000

[NE WAY]

Accuphase M-6000, a MOSFET class AB amplifier made between 2008 and 2015.

On its prospectus it said A damping factor rating of more than 500 demonstrates that this amplifier is capable of driving even the most difficult, ultra-low impedance loads with ease.

Weighing in at 38kg, and Continuous Average Output 1,200 watts into 1 ohm (✽)
600 watts into 2 ohms
300 watts into 4 ohms
150 watts into 8 ohms

• Two totally identical power amplifier circuits driven in parallel
• 16 parallel push-pull arrangement of MOS-FET devices in output stage
• Input stage configured as double instrumentation amplifier
• Double MCS+ circuit and current feedback topology in amplification stage
• Support for bridged use of two M-6000 units with even higher output power
• Power supply with massive high-efficiency 900-VA toroidal transformer and large filtering capacitors

When I googled a week ago I couldn’t find any in-depth review. Probably not too popular.

I wonder how it sounds compared to the Pass labs A5.

Which of the two you are asking about do you have?

I have the Aleph 5 clone, but it is too hot to use during summer, while I was looking for a class AB MOSFET amp and I stumbled upon the M6000.

Are you using them?

Have you tried wolverine?

Accuphase is an expensive Japanese brand, not sold on quantity, but well regarded as a brand.
Look around on the net, or try Japanese audio sites, may need translation.

No ties, I am just posting a random post without any comments.

No, but thanks for the suggestion, I will have a look.
