The Legacy of Accuphase

Accuphase was established with a clear mission — to design and build the most accurate audio equipment in the world. Every component reflects obsessive attention to detail, from internal circuitry to exterior finish. The C-200 and P-250 were designed during the brand’s early years and still stand as benchmarks in vintage Japanese hi-fi. The golden-hued front panels, weighted knobs, and balanced architecture exude a design philosophy that blends aesthetic elegance with mechanical perfection. These amplifiers were not built for mass consumption — they were built for audiophiles who demand uncompromised sound.



Accuphase C-200: The Masterpiece Preamplifier

The Accuphase C-200 is a dual-mono preamplifier featuring independent power supplies for each channel, premium input switching, and a neutral yet detailed tonal character. Even by today’s standards, its performance rivals and often surpasses many modern preamps.

Features of the Accuphase C-200:


  • Fully discrete circuitry with dual-mono construction
  • Ultra-low noise floor and high signal-to-noise ratio
  • Independent tone control for each channel
  • High-quality phono stage for MM/MC cartridges
  • Gold-plated connectors and low-distortion output stages
  • Built for durability with a solid chassis and anodized aluminum faceplate

The C-200 is known for its transparency, giving you the purest path from source to amplifier with no coloration — ideal for vinyl lovers and purist audiophiles.



Accuphase P-250: Precision Power Amplifier

The Accuphase P-250 power amplifier is a Class AB stereo amplifier delivering a clean 100W per channel into 8 ohms. It is engineered to provide tight control over speaker drivers, revealing the micro-dynamics of music with ease. From delicate piano notes to thunderous drum rolls, the P-250 handles it all with composure and authority.

Highlights of the Accuphase P-250:


  • Discrete dual-mono layout with separate transformers
  • Wide dynamic range and exceptional damping factor
  • Exceptionally flat frequency response
  • Heavy-duty construction with large heat sinks for passive cooling
  • Ideal pairing with the C-200 for a complete high-end system

Together, the C-200 and P-250 provide a clean, controlled, and dynamic musical experience. Whether you're listening to jazz, classical, or progressive rock, this combo reveals layers of sound that modern amps often miss.
