Angeboten wird „EAR Yoshino 912 preamplifier“ von EAR Yoshino als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Vorverstärker / Prozessor“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 9599689258 endet am 28.09.2026 um 01:18 Uhr.
This is a buyer’s market at this asking price: €5,400 sits just above the €5,381 median and well within the core used range, between the €5,369 25th percentile and €6,225 75th percentile. That makes it a fair, market-aligned price rather than a bargain, but it is comfortably not ambitious.
The 912 is well regarded for its refined, full-bodied presentation and the sort of quiet authority that makes a good system feel more expensive than it is. In good condition, this is the kind of preamp that can be a genuinely satisfying long-term piece if the seller can confirm clean operation, original remote/power supply, and sensible service history; at this level, those details matter more than chasing a small discount.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
EAR Yoshino: Editorial Brand Description
Esoteric Audio Research was founded in England in 1976 by designer Tim de Paravicini, launching with the EAR 509, a 100-watt valve monoblock power amplifier that balanced performance, reliability, and cost—a philosophy that continues to define the brand today. De Paravicini's career spans decades of audio innovation, including formative work at Lux Corporation in Japan during the 1970s, where he developed acclaimed pre/power amplifier combinations and custom valve designs. Yoshino Ltd. was established in 1994 to manufacture de Paravicini's designs under the EAR Yoshino banner, combining his English engineering heritage with Japanese manufacturing precision.
The brand specializes in valve-based audio electronics, with a product range spanning integrated amplifiers, preamplifiers, and power amplifiers. Notable designs include the iconic EAR 834P phono preamplifier series, the V12 and V20 integrated amplifiers, and the 912 preamplifier. More recently, EAR Yoshino has ventured into hybrid solid-state designs, such as the 834T integrated amplifier, while maintaining the company's core commitment to valve technology and unconventional circuit architecture.
EAR Yoshino occupies the high-end luxury segment of the hi-fi market, with products commanding premium prices that reflect meticulous design and hand-built construction. The brand has accumulated numerous awards across multiple product categories and maintains a strong global reputation among discerning audiophiles who prioritize sonic excellence and engineering integrity. De Paravicini's legendary status as a designer, combined with the company's award-winning heritage and commitment to exceptional servicing, positions EAR Yoshino as a boutique manufacturer for those seeking the finest in analog and valve-based audio reproduction.
