Designed and handcrafted in Japan with Accuphase’s signature precision and refinement, the C-57 seamlessly blends cutting-edge circuitry with luxurious build quality to deliver breathtaking analog performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eUncompromising Sound Performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the C-57 is a fully balanced signal path from input to output, ensuring exceptional noise rejection and sonic purity. A dedicated MC\/MM head amplifier optimised for cartridge characteristics—including Accuphase’s proprietary ANCC (Accuphase Noise and Distortion Cancelling Circuit)—extracts every nuance from low-level phono signals with extraordinary clarity and detail. Precise RIAA equalization maintains exceptional accuracy with a deviation of ±0.3 dB across the audio band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFlexible and Intelligent Controls\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you’re using a low-output moving coil (MC) or a magnetic (MM) cartridge, the C-57 gives you fine-tuned control over performance. It offers a dedicated balanced MC input plus three additional phono inputs, each with independent memory for load impedance, gain, filter, and other settings—so switching between multiple turntables or cartridges is effortless. The multi-step load impedance selector accommodates seven MC and three MM settings to match almost any cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMusicality Meets Mechanical Refinement\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom its low-noise regulated power supply and separate regulated circuits for each channel, to the toroidal transformer and substantial filter capacitors, the C-57’s internal architecture is built for musical integrity and rock-solid stability. Audiophiles will also appreciate features like a subsonic filter for rumble control, a balanced-output polarity selector, and clear LED indication of load settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eElegant, Timeless Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHoused in an exquisitely finished chassis with an aluminum hairline top plate and natural woodgrain side panels, the C-57 embodies Accuphase’s classic aesthetic. High-carbon cast-iron insulators provide vibration damping, marrying form and function for both superb performance and visual distinction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRIAA Deviation, MC 10-20,000 Hz +\/- 0.3 dB, MM 10-20,000 Hz +\/- 0.3 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Harmonic Distortion 0.005%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGain select from High or Normal: MM 34 or 40 dB, MC 64 or 70 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput Sensitivity (at rated output 1 kHz, 2 V): MC 64 dB 1.26 mV, 70 dB 0.63 mV.
