Angeboten wird „C-2450 mit A-48“ von Accuphase als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Vor- / End - Kombi“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 2011657661 endet am 07.08.2026 um 12:22 Uhr.
€12,500 is ambitious versus the recent used market; with a median of €6,460 and a 75th percentile of €8,258, this sits well above the top of the comparable range.
That said, the C-2450 is a serious preamp and a genuinely respected piece in Accuphase’s line: refined, quiet, flexible, and built to a very high standard. If this example is clean, complete, and has a solid service history, the appeal is in owning a flagship-class control center rather than chasing a bargain. At this level, I’d want exceptional provenance, accessories, and condition to justify the premium.
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.
