Offered is „C-57 / C - 57 / C57 / C 57“ by Accuphase as second-hand device from the category „Phono Amplifier“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 5415067448 ends on 27.10.2026 at 14:23 o'clock.
The C-57 sits near the top of Accuphase’s phono-stage lineup, and that €7,250 ask looks fair-to-good rather than cheap. Typical recent used listings I found cluster roughly around €6,460 to €9,999, with many dealers landing near €7,750 to €9,800, so this is slightly below the middle of the pack and comfortably under the premium dealer asks.
That makes it a sensible buy if the unit is clean and complete. It’s well regarded for its quiet, full-blooded presentation, excellent loading flexibility, and the sort of refinement that makes high-end vinyl front ends feel properly finished. At this price, original box, remote, manuals, and a documented owner history would all add real confidence; without those, it’s still attractive, just not a bargain in the “jump on it” sense.
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.
