Compared with a modern £3,322 power amp, this is really a play for vintage prestige rather than spec-sheet value, and it sits roughly in the fair-to-slightly-ambitious zone against current used examples. Recent asking prices for P-600s cluster around about £2,700 to £3,700 equivalent, with cleaner or more complete examples pushing higher, so £3,322 is not a steal but it is within the market for a desirable one.
What keeps it interesting is the Accuphase name, the tank-like build, and the fact that the P-600 remains a respected high-current, big-scale amplifier with real control and refinement. If this one is genuinely clean and unmolested, the price makes sense for an enthusiast piece; just make sure it’s properly serviced, because age and transport weight matter more here than with many newer amps.

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.
