Angeboten wird „C-280/Accuphase P-102 Hi-End Verstärker/Amplifier“ von Accuphase als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Vollverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 4402479457 endet am 03.10.2026 um 18:01 Uhr.
The C-280 has a strong reputation as a classic Accuphase line-stage: refined, quiet, and built to a very high standard. At €4,450, this asking price lands a bit above the broad used market I’d expect for a clean C-280, which clusters more around roughly €3,000–€3,800 for typical examples, with better-documented or serviced units pushing higher. That makes this fair-to-ambitious, not a bargain, unless the listing includes recent servicing or unusually complete provenance.
What keeps it attractive is the core product: substantial build quality, excellent phono and line-stage credibility, and the kind of long-term ownership appeal Accuphase is known for. If this one is genuinely good condition, that matters a lot on a preamp of this age. The key upside is finding a tidy, original unit that saves you a restoration project; the main buyer check is service history, because age-related maintenance can change the value quickly.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Accuphase Laboratory, Inc., founded in 1972 in Tokyo by brothers Nakaichi and Jiro Kasuga, emerged from their departure from Trio-Kenwood, the company they had co-established decades earlier. Dissatisfied with mass-production compromises, the Kasugas formed Kensonic Laboratories—later renamed Accuphase Laboratory—and relocated to Yokohama in 1973. The brand name, blending "accurate" and "phase," reflected their commitment to precision audio reproduction amid the 1970s hi-fi boom. Their debut products, the P-300 power amplifier, C-200 preamplifier, and T-100 tuner, immediately earned acclaim, including Japan's Compo Grand Prix for the P-300.
Accuphase specializes in high-end electronics, renowned for integrated and power amplifiers, preamplifiers, tuners, CD players, and digital sources like DACs. While their core strength lies in meticulously engineered amplifiers celebrated for phase accuracy and reliability, the lineup extends to digital components, mains filters, and room correction units. Hand-assembled in Yokohama with top-tier parts and innovative circuits, these products prioritize sound purity over volume, eschewing speakers, turntables, headphones, or cables.
Positioned firmly in the ultra-premium high-end market, Accuphase commands reverence among audiophiles for its timeless build quality, engineering excellence, and enduring performance. Synonymous with Japanese hi-fi mastery, it stands as a reference benchmark, appealing to discerning buyers seeking components that deliver uncompromised musical fidelity and last for generations.
