The C-17 was released in 1984, during the dawn of the digital audio era with the introduction of the CD. Despite the shift in focus, this model represents Accuphase's commitment to analog audio excellence. Its substantial size and weight are a testament to the robust internal components and power supply, designed to deliver exceptional audio performance.

The design prioritizes delivering the cartridge's inherent characteristics without imposing the amplifier's signature. The use of cascode push-pull Class A amplification ensures extreme performance in high-frequency response, linearity, and signal-to-noise ratio. The independent, low-impedance power supply circuits for each channel are located close to the amplification stages to maintain optimal operation across all frequency bands.

This Accuphase C-17 is an exceptional piece of high-end audio equipment, offering a unique and uncompromising approach to MC cartridge amplification. It is a rare find and a worthy addition for any discerning audiophile.
