− | == Company profile == | |
− | '''Accuphase''' Laboratories, Inc, originally Kensonic Laboratories, is a Japanese high-end audio manufacturer. The name Kensonic is an abbreviation of Kenwood KEN and the word SONIC (sound).

| | | |
− | The company was founded in 1972 by [[Kenwood]] founder and engineer Jiro Kasuga. The motivation was that Kasuga was not satisfied with Kenwood's views on high end. Kasuga hired some engineers from other well-known companies, including [[Marantz]] and [[Luxman]], and started his own production under the name Kensonic. Kenwood owned a stake in the Kensonic company at the time. There were also some other connections with other companies in Accuphase's early years.

− | Comparing the components of Kenwood and Kensonic from the early years one finds similarities e.g. in knobs, buttons, dials and a similar design of the units. The Accuphase circuit boards are marked with KENSONIC. Kenwood still retained Kensonic company stock until the mid-1990s. Accuphase engineers also contributed to and left their mark on the last Kenwood high-end L-series of 1992, [[Kenwood L-A 1]], [[Kenwood L-D 1]] and Kenwood LV-Z1.

− | The first Kensonic models were the [[Accuphase P-300|P-300]] power amplifier, [[Accuphase C-200|C-200]] preamplifier, and [[Accuphase T-100|T-100]] tuner. The [[Accuphase E-202|E-202]] integrated amplifier and a revised version of the [[Accuphase T-101|(T-101)]] 100 tuner followed somewhat later. All of these units received very good reviews in 1973 and 1974. Accuphase products have champagne-colored bezels and, on amplifiers, two large analog power meters. As production progressed, units with black anodized front panels were also offered.

− | The name ACCUPHASE was created by combining the prefix ACCU, accurate (exactly) with the word Phase. Phase is a factor in audio technology.
