The meaning of V letter in the Accuphase production.

[Descartes]

Hello,
I'd like to know what is the meaning of the letter V in some versions of Accuphase production, especially for poweramp.
I could advance a hypothesis, namely that the V-version since 1990 had been equipped with the finest potentiometer from Matsushita
and having thus sets to benchmark of developments towards the most precise control of signal Voltages. I could say that V stands for voltage.
Am I right?
Many thanks.

Dear Descartes,

I am not sure what V stands for but it is a good question. But I noticed V designation is given to the old products which has gone thoroughly updated. I think V is the short form for "Version Update" as Japanese calls it. They re-released the old model with V designation for the newer version. If you look at Accuphase Product Museum, the C-300 was released in 1973 and the updated C-300V version was updated in 1987.

I am 99% sure that it does not mean voltage but I could be wrong. :-)

Wherever the V letter came from, it just mean the MK2 - upgraded model. The V model has always been a follow up to the non-V model.

The V letter was added to CD players, preamps and poweramps.

What megasat16 said makes sense, it probably mean just that.
Similar to what Esoteric is doing with their updated models, usually designated as VU (version update).

Many thanks to all for your appreciated answers. Only to say that probably V letter could instead for "Verified".
