Accuphase amplifiers, digital sources and tuners are well regarded for their sound, design and build by high-end audio enthusiasts throughout the world.

He hired some engineers from other prominent brands (Marantz, Luxman) and started Kensonic, with Kenwood as a part owner.

If the parts used by Kenwood and Kensonic throughout the latter's early years are compared to each other, the similarities are easily noticeable: knobs, buttons, tuner dials and the general direction of the design.

While Kenwood has now abandoned all high-end audio activities, Kensonic carries on with the Accuphase series.

The name ACCUPHASE was adapted by taking the prefix ACCU from the word "accurate", and combining it with PHASE which is a most important factor in audio technology.....it is a very fitting brand name to describe our products that fully portray this and other important characteristics, which penetrate the innermost depth of audio technology.Accuphase has a reputation for reliability, with units from the first series still in use.
