Offered is „AD-2850 - free shipping EU“ 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 8550899713 ends on 26.12.2026 at 19:01 o'clock.
At EUR 1,990, the obvious alternative is waiting for a lower-mileage example—or negotiating—because this sits above the recent used-market norm: the median is EUR 1,744 and the 75th percentile EUR 1,867. It is therefore a little ambitious rather than a bargain, though not wildly out of line for a genuinely clean specimen.
The AD-2850 remains a highly capable dedicated phono equalizer, with separate low-noise MM and MC circuitry, accurate differential RIAA equalisation, two inputs, adjustable MC gain, and selectable 10/30/100/300-ohm loading. It is especially worthwhile for an Accuphase C-2850 or C-2450 owner wanting excellent cartridge matching and front-panel control. At this price, confirm compatibility with the intended preamplifier, both input sections operate correctly, and the original installation hardware is included; otherwise, a modest discount would make it more compelling.
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.
