Accuphase Design Concepts

As an owner of an Accuphase amplifier I found this video fascinating as it clearly defines the Accuphase design and production philosophy which I believe is unique in the audio industry. Especially interesting is how they green light new models. That conversation begins at around the 29 minute mark.

Thank you for sharing this excellent and fascinating interview!

As of October 2024 Accuphase had 82 employees and produce only 6,000 units per year thanks to a deliberate policy of non-expansion.

50 years ago they had about 70 employees., and so have not grown very much.

Great watch, thanks for posting it. I always forget about Accuphase but they really do make exceptional gear.

I am very much enjoying my Accuphase components - power supply, pre-amp and amps.  Superlative build quality and sound - keepers for the long-haul...
