In the middle of 2020, Motet Distribution, which is based in both Toronto and Montreal, picked up Accuphase for the Canadian market and has so far put a lot of effort into getting the products into hi-fi stores, in front of the audio-buying public with marketing, and into reviewers’ hands, which is how I ended up getting the C-2850 preamplifier for review. I don’t know what the problem on this side of the ocean was for all those years, but it seems fixed now, at least in Canada. But seeing all the products in Japan made me come home each year and wonder, Why doesn’t Accuphase have better exposure in North America? It was there that I could see pretty much everything from Accuphase-at the 2019 show there were preamplifiers, power amplifiers, integrated amplifiers, disc players, and DACs, and even a digital equalizer, a tuner, and a cartridge. But in 2013 I went to the Tokyo International Audio Show for the first time, then returned in 20. That’s because in North America I’d sometimes see them displayed at shows and occasionally covered in magazines, but they were rarely at dealers I visited. The original branding featured Kensonic as the company and Accuphase as the brand.įor about 40 years, I’ve known about the Accuphase name, but I’ve never been that familiar with the products. changed its name to Accuphase Laboratory, Inc., to “unify the brand and company name,” according to the Accuphase website. In 1973, the company moved to Yokohama, where it is currently located, and released its first products: the C-200 preamplifier, P-300 stereo power amplifier, and T-100 AM/FM stereo tuner. The Accuphase brand was created in 1972 in Tokyo, Japan, but the company behind it was named Kensonic Laboratory, Inc.
