Offered is „AD-50“ 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 9333114781 ends on 12.12.2026 at 17:18 o'clock.
New, the Accuphase AD-50 was roughly €1,190, so €690 used is a meaningful saving, but it is still ambitious against the two recent comparable listings: the median is €513 and the 75th percentile €600. It is not a bargain at this level, though “good” condition and a complete, verified example could make the premium defensible.
This is a particularly capable plug-in phono board rather than a token convenience option. It handles MM and MC, offers 66 dB MC gain with 30/100/300-ohm loading, 40 dB MM gain, precise RIAA equalisation, very low noise, and a useful subsonic filter. It is a strong match for compatible Accuphase amplifiers, especially if you value the factory integration and clean front-panel control. At €690, confirm compatibility, operation on both MM and MC, and that the mounting hardware and original packaging are included.
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.
