Ultra-low noise

Separate circuitry for left and right MC head amplifier and equalizer amplifier using the latest devices ensure ultra low noise performance and outstanding RIAA precision. 3 Analog inputs with separate parameter memory for each allows you to have three tonearms connected, ideal for those of us which also have mono Cartridges.

The C-47 is the first phono amplifier of this series which realizes a fully balanced configuration from input to output. The resulting product not only is highly impervious to external noise, it also features a dedicated head amplifier optimized for the characteristics of MC and MM phono cartridges, and a high-accuracy equalizer amplifier, thereby ensuring precise equalization with a minimum of noise. A set of newly added dedicated balanced MC phono inputs enables balanced connection to the analog record player. By bringing out the full performance potential of each phono cartridge, the C-47 delivers a rich and deeply satisfying musical experience.

Who is this for?

The Accuphase C-47 Stereo Phono Amplifier is designed for serious vinyl enthusiasts building a high-end analogue system who want reference-grade performance from their phono stage. It suits listeners who already own a quality turntable and cartridge and are looking for a dedicated, low-noise solution that maximises detail, dynamics, and musical realism.

This phono stage is particularly well suited to revealing systems where transparency and tonal accuracy are critical. It pairs beautifully with high-performance moving coil and moving magnet cartridges, delivering exceptional clarity, precise imaging, and a natural sense of flow that allows vinyl playback to feel effortless and engaging.

The C-47 is ideal for dedicated listening rooms where system synergy and long, immersive listening sessions are a priority. Its dual-mono construction and ultra-low noise design make it especially effective in high-resolution systems where even subtle improvements in staging, texture, and timing are immediately noticeable.

For customers building a reference analogue front end, the C-47 represents a long-term phono stage solution—offering the refinement, control, and musical truth expected from Accuphase’s most serious vinyl-focused engineering.
