Why the lack of interest in Accuphase?

Ive only heard good things abuot accuphase so I'm no help there. As for the lack of action on the first day of ads, We all seem to be afraid to be the first one to jump, maybe we all need someone else to confirm the value of our desire. As for auctions , the last few hours is the golden time when everyone who wants the item suddenly rushes to get it. Don't loose heart , I have found the members of AGon to be pretty good judges of value . You have to be a little patient.

Perhaps buyers are a bit shy of some of this pricier equipment, or your asking price is just a bit above market. You also might consider showing the $7000 list price in your ad so that buyers will better understand the deal that you're offering.
Orion Blue book shows the following:
Retail
Used: $2165
MSRP: 7000
Wholesale
Mint: 1472
Average: 1001

Accuphase builds incredible quality products; I've bought 3 pieces over the past 12 months (phono stage, pre, & PA) after trying out a lot of other equipment & I finally found some keepers! I've been looking for quality & sonics like this ever since Luxman abandoned their US market; finally found it, only this is even better. Download the E406 photo from their website & add a hyperlink to your ad, or at least mention that you can provide a jpeg to interested parties. Throw some spec. info. onto your ad too.

I think it is because in the USA you don't see Accuphase all that much. I have been doing this for awhile and have never seen Accuphase in person! People are more comfortable with Krell (ouch!) and such, so dont' feel bad, someone will want it eventually. Hold tight.

Japanese companies have had a tough time establishing credibility in the high end since so much of what is designed in Japan has been horrible mass-market stuff. I'm guessing 'philes think twice about parting with large sums of money given this bias. I know there has been some great stuff from the land of the rising sun: Nak tape decks, TEAC transports, and the recent crop of SACD gear.
As for Accuphase gear, I've seen it at a recent audio show (it wasn't plugged in at the time); I don't care for the look of Accuphase, the champagne color brings back memories of the Marantz stuff from the early eighties (very mid-fi) and would not blend in with other gear which tends to be black or silver. Accuphase stuff is very expensive and has plenty of competition by some very well known and respected North American and European manufacturers. I've read some threads here on AudioGon, seems those who own Accuphase are very happy campers. Given the bias noted above, the esthetics, and the lofty price you'll need to be patient, the right buyer will come along.

I agree both with 'prince' and 'john', that even though high quality integrated Accuphase is still 'integrated'. And for the price, used market is saturated with equaly high
quality separates.
