Default E-270 Questions

Accuphase once had a great website where they provided excellent info on their products. Not so today. For instance, what are the dimensions of the new (per their website) E-270 integrated amp? No info on same under the "technical information" pdf download from the website. Also, will the card-slot on the E-270 support the phono card or only the unwanted DAC card, as their information suggests? Thanks for any help.

The PDF on the model website should have that information. I down loaded this a few days ago and had all the dimensions.

On the card:

Rear panel expansion slot allows for use of one of the available AD-30 or DAC-40 option boards.

Option Boards:
DAC-40 (DA converter) – 1200 euro
AD-30 (phono stage) – 1000 euro
LINE-10 (extra analog inputs) – 280 euro

Dimensions - found this:

Maximum Dimensions: Width 465 mm x Height 151 mm x Depth 420 mm (18.3 W x 5.94 H x 16.53 D)
•Mass: 20.0 kg net, 26.0 kg in shipping carton (44.09 pounds net, 57.32 pounds in carton)

I left the Euro prices for the board options in the cut n' paste -- just as a FYI -- (Guess that answers your ??).

Best Sir,

Bob

Just looked thru again (http://www.accuphase.com/model/e-270.html for the 3rd time in two days) and nothing about dimensions as was on the previous iteration of the website.

Bob - thanks for the info. Is that from the European website? The E-270 is about half the physical size of my current integrated amp so am thinking it might be a "good fit" for downsizing.

Unfortunately, the E-270 appears to no longer support the use of the phono-card like its predecessor E-260 did. As Accuphase was touting the "introductory" price of the E-270, perhaps dropping this configuration is one way they made their price-point. Too bad, as I prefer the size & look of the E-270 to the larger models and its 90wpc is fine for my needs.

Glenn -- PM me your email as I have a 6meg pdf on the E270.

The E-270 provides one slot for an option board on the rear panel.
● Option boards can be used to realize direct connection of digital signals for high-quality music playback, or to enjoy high-quality playback of analog records.
● The Analog Disc Input Boards AD-9/AD-10/AD-20 can also be used. In this case, the MC/MM button on the front panel of the E-270 has no effect. MC/MM switching must be performed on the board.

Analog Disc Input Board AD-30:
Features a high-performance, high-gain phono equalizer for playback of analog records with outstanding sound quality.

● MM/MC switching can be performed on the front panel of the E-270.
● On-board switches for input impedance switching and subsonic filter
MC: Gain 66 dB, Impedance 30/100/300 ohms
MM: Gain 40 dB, Impedance 47 kilohms


Best Sir,

Bob

Sorry for the mix up in the earlier writing of this post #7 -- coffee short and was getting E270 confused with E470. I've changed this post a couple times. It's now correct from E-270 pdf data.

There are three .pdf links, two marked English. Was opening the wrong one.

Thanks to all.

That's why I subscribed to AA -- learn something new everyday -- wasn't aware of two English's. I'm still learning the first one & don't have time to learn a second.

Best Sirs,

Bob

Glad to have helped Glenn.
