Offered is „E-460“ by Accuphase as second-hand device from the category „Fully integrated Amplifier“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 1455780017 ends on 31.10.2026 at 09:59 o'clock.
A well-regarded Accuphase integrated, the E-460 sits in that sweet spot of refined power and long-haul reliability that keeps these amps desirable on the used market. At €4,600, this asking price is a bit ambitious versus the recent comparable range, sitting above the €4,435 75th percentile and clearly over the €4,271 median, so it’s not a bargain.
That said, if the unit is genuinely clean and complete, it still has real appeal: Accuphase build quality, a polished presentation, and the sort of authoritative, low-fatigue sound that makes it easy to live with. This is the kind of amp worth paying up for when condition is strong, but I’d want some justification here—exceptional cosmetics, original packaging, recent service, or a standout provenance—to close the gap.
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.
