Accuphase T-106 Tuner This is the Accuphase T-106 Quartz Locked FM Tuner. As seen, this unit includes the optional persimmon wood case. The unit was imported from Japan a few years ago. It has been internally converted to Australia's frequency band as well as upgraded with high quality RCAs and an IEC instead of the fixed cord. This was performed by Chris Kimil of Kimil Electronics ($220). Included is also an original manual ($70). The tuner has a very lush Accuphase sound and has a 14 station memory. The VU meters are beautiful. You are able to either output line level or use variable output
This A$1,676 asking price is a strong bargain, sitting well below the 25th percentile of A$2,108 for comparable AUD listings and far under the median of A$3,256. The “unknown” condition note is the only hesitation, but even accounting for that uncertainty, the price is so low it represents a genuine buying opportunity for anyone willing to inspect or lightly service a vintage unit.
The Accuphase T-106 is a revered 1984 high-end FM/AM tuner prized for its DGL FM detection and robust synchronous AM detection, which delivers clean, interference-resistant reception. Its reputation among enthusiasts stems from Accuphase’s legendary build quality and sonic transparency. At this price, even a used or untested unit offers meaningful upside—especially if it’s original-owner condition or includes the original rack and accessories, which are often missing. This is a rare chance to own a classic Japanese tuner at a fraction of typical market value.

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.
