Accuphase Design Concepts

https://youtu.be/ntqPNLZ20MY?si=8jEy-2VG9MjbR2so
 

As an owner of an Accuphase amplifier I found this video fascinating as it clearly defines the Accuphase design and production philosophy which I believe is unique in the audio industry. Especially interesting is how they green light new models. That conversation begins at around the 29 minute mark.

Strange comment. Their build quality and reliability is legendary. There are still original integrated amps from the 70s and 80s still operating. Accuphase considers the reliability a failure if they have even one. One of the highest reliability benchmarks in the industry. Just in case they also maintain parts inventory for years on their models since they remain in operation for decades.

....... I had a failure and possibly the only one in the world. AXISS has been amazing but it has taken awhile. It stinks and my whole system is Accuphase even have the PS1250 line conditioner. I guess I am venting but do agree that their reliability is second to none.

Yes I can understand your frustration.   Did you send the unit to Axxis to be repaired?  
Curious : What unit failed? What happened? and how old was it?
