Why the lack of interest in Accuphase?


i'm surprised by the lack of interest in my Accuphase piece, and was wondering why there is little interest past the first day of ads.
Is 9/11 still efecting the market that much, do people not know and appreciate Accuphase, or is it just too expensive.
Love to hear any musings on the state of the used market. I would figure things would be getting better.

People are reluctant to spend $5000.00 plus on a format that is under such flux.

I think that the main reason might be that the integrated amp you're selling isn't that well-known, although you might have problems selling one of their better-known CD or SACD players as well, due to the price and format uncertainty, as Chuck notes. I finally got around to cleaning out my closet of some nice items I've owned but no longer use, and found that the less expensive items have gotten far more response than the more expensive ones.
Not everyone has heard or seen the build of accuphase products and the American audiophile has been told over and over again by the press what's good and /bad .
This is not because I own Accuphase but we get in a rut
in america about products and it's hard to teach old dogs new tricks .Mike
For integrated's you have some major competition from the Jeff Rowland, Levinson, Magnum Dynalab, ARC, and now BAT.

Honestly I've never even SEEN an Accuphase component in the U.S. They look extremely well made. You might also add in a picture. I know I've lost sales because I don't have any pictures of my equipment.
