Offered is „AP-507“ by Teac as exhibit from the category „Transistor-Poweramp“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 4040419792 ends on 30.10.2026 at 06:24 o'clock.
The €1,700 asking price for this used TEAC AP-507 in good condition is ambitious, sitting just below the new €1,899 MSRP and well above the 75th percentile of €1,422 for comparable used listings, though it remains under the median new price. Given that the median used price is only €780, this listing commands a premium of roughly €920 over typical used market value, suggesting it is priced closer to new than to the bulk of the secondary market.
However, the AP-507 is a compelling buy if you prioritize its compact NCOREx design delivering 170W into 4Ω and 350W in BTL mono mode, with ultra-low distortion of 0.0015% and 113dB signal-to-noise ratio. Since spring 2025 launch models are still fresh, a used unit in good condition with original accessories offers immediate access to high-end performance without waiting for retail stock, making this a worthwhile opportunity for enthusiasts seeking a small but powerful stereo amplifier, provided the condition is truly verified.

TEAC Corporation stands as a pillar of Japanese audio engineering, founded in August 1953 by Katsuma Tani, a former aeronautics engineer with an uncompromising vision for sound reproduction. The company emerged from the merger of two entities—the Tokyo Television Acoustic Company (1953) and the Tokyo Electro-Acoustic Company (1956)—consolidating under the TEAC name in 1964. From its inception, TEAC pursued a singular mission: to deliver authentic sound to music enthusiasts through technically superior products, a philosophy that has guided seven decades of innovation.
TEAC built its reputation primarily on magnetic recording equipment, establishing dominance in open-reel tape decks and cassette machines throughout the 1960s and beyond. The company's flagship TD-102 stereo tape recorder, launched in April 1957, gained international recognition and set the standard for the industry. Beyond tape machines, TEAC expanded into turntables, CD players, and digital audio components, while simultaneously establishing TASCAM in 1971 as its professional recording subsidiary—a brand that became synonymous with studio-grade equipment worldwide.
Today, TEAC occupies a distinctive position bridging vintage collectibility and contemporary hi-fi. The brand commands respect among analog enthusiasts and professional engineers for its legacy of precision engineering, while its modern Esoteric line serves the high-end market. TEAC products appeal to discerning buyers who value heritage, build quality, and sonic authenticity over mass-market appeal, positioning the brand as a respected mid-to-premium player with particular strength among those seeking vintage and analog-focused solutions.
