Seller's Description

Guten Tag,

hiermit biete ich meine geliebte Accuphase C-222 Vorstufe zum Kauf an. Leider hat sie einen Defekt welchen ich nun doch nach langer Überlegung nicht reparieren lassen werde. Da ich noch eine C-280 habe, kommt diese nun zum Einsatz.
Optisch befindet sich die C-222 in einem sehr guten Zustand. Es handelt sich um ein Pia-Gerät mit Bedienungsanleitung u. Netzkabel.
Zweite Hand , Nichtraucherhaushalte .

Fehlerbeschreibung :
Das Gerät schaltet ein.
Relais schalten sauber.
Alle LED's leuchten wenn sie es sollen.
"" Signal geht durch zur Endstufe klingt aber in beiden Lautsprecherboxen unsauber ( Quelle CD-PLAYER ) "" .
Danach habe ich die Vorstufe aus der Kette genommen um Schäden zu vermeiden .
Wegen Umstellung meiner Kette und Umständehalber Reduzierung meiner Geräte gebe ich meine C-222 nun doch ab , und verkaufe sie als "Defekt" .

Das Gerät ist derzeit beim Accuphase Händler in Koblenz. Von dort sollte es zur PIA gehen. Von diesem Vorhaben nehme ich nun doch Abstand .
In den nächsten Tagen hole ich die Vorstufe nachhause. Dann kann ich aktuelle Bilder inserieren.

500 €
Abholung gerne bei einer Tasse Kaffee .

Versand : 50€ ( DHL / Versichert ).
Versandkosten trägt bitte der Käufer . Privatverkauf.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Our Thoughts RADAR AI

Accuphase has a strong reputation for solid engineering and long-lived analogue stages, but this one needs to be judged on price and condition more than romance. At €500 and marked for_parts, it sits slightly below the €545 25th percentile from your recent comparables, so the number itself is decent for a non-working unit rather than a bargain-you-can-use-today.

The upside is that it’s still a desirable vintage Accuphase piece, and clean examples are valued for refined, low-noise phono/preamp performance and collectible build quality. The catch is obvious: as a parts unit, the real question is whether you want it for restoration, spares, or a donor platform; budget for servicing and possible unobtainable age-related faults before treating it as a keeper.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Accuphase

Accuphase Laboratory, Inc., founded in 1972 in Tokyo by brothers Nakaichi and Jiro Kasuga, emerged from their departure from Trio-Kenwood, the company they had co-established decades earlier. Dissatisfied with mass-production compromises, the Kasugas formed Kensonic Laboratories—later renamed Accuphase Laboratory—and relocated to Yokohama in 1973. The brand name, blending "accurate" and "phase," reflected their commitment to precision audio reproduction amid the 1970s hi-fi boom. Their debut products, the P-300 power amplifier, C-200 preamplifier, and T-100 tuner, immediately earned acclaim, including Japan's Compo Grand Prix for the P-300.

Accuphase specializes in high-end electronics, renowned for integrated and power amplifiers, preamplifiers, tuners, CD players, and digital sources like DACs. While their core strength lies in meticulously engineered amplifiers celebrated for phase accuracy and reliability, the lineup extends to digital components, mains filters, and room correction units. Hand-assembled in Yokohama with top-tier parts and innovative circuits, these products prioritize sound purity over volume, eschewing speakers, turntables, headphones, or cables.

Positioned firmly in the ultra-premium high-end market, Accuphase commands reverence among audiophiles for its timeless build quality, engineering excellence, and enduring performance. Synonymous with Japanese hi-fi mastery, it stands as a reference benchmark, appealing to discerning buyers seeking components that deliver uncompromised musical fidelity and last for generations.
