Accuphase, for whatever reason, does not seem very popular in the US. I suspect that it has a lot to do with pricing in the US vs other countries around the world, and pricing vs other brands. Not very many units in the secondary market, and seemingly not a lot of reviews ( from both Users, and Professionals) online neither.
Folks, what are your thoughts on why Accuphase is less popular compared to other comparable brands. Is it pricing, marketing, quality, customer service, serviceability, inventory, or a combination of factors? Let me know your thoughts.
For me, new units are cost prohibitive. I cannot justify spending ~$20,000 on a single component, but there are plenty of people with deeper pockets than me. The best I can do is hunt for used units, and those don't come up often.
