The Accuphase C-47 phono amplifier is the latest from the Japanese brand and features a fully balanced configuration from input to output.

Accuphase says that the resulting product not only is highly impervious to external noise, it also features a dedicated head amplifier optimised for the characteristics of MC and MM phono cartridges, and a high-accuracy equalizer amplifier, thereby ensuring precise equalization with a minimum of noise.
