Accuphase P300x and C200x for sale. The Amp last maintenance was done in 2016 by Accuphase in Japan.
Accuphase’s preamps sit in serious money territory when new, and at US$4,000 this used example is above the recent used-market median of US$2,525 and even over the US$3,263 upper quartile, so it reads as ambitious rather than a bargain. Unless there’s something exceptional here, a buyer should expect to pay for scarcity and condition, not value pricing.
What keeps it interesting is the C-200X’s reputation for refined, low-noise line-stage performance, excellent build quality, and the kind of tonal density and control that makes Accuphase gear so beloved. If the unit is clean, fully functional, and complete with original packaging, that helps justify a premium; if not, the price asks for patience.
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.
