Offered is „C-3900 / C - 3900 / C3900 / C 3900“ by Accuphase as second-hand device from the category „Transistor-Preamp“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 0680105399 ends on 27.10.2026 at 13:55 o'clock.
Is €17,500 the kind of price that makes you move fast? Yes: with a median of €19,050 and a 25th percentile of €17,500, this sits right at the low end of the recent market, so it reads as a strong buy rather than a merely fair one.
That makes sense for a preamp this well regarded: the C-3900 is a flagship-level Accuphase line stage, prized for its refinement, tonal control, and effortless transparency, and it tends to hold demand well among serious system builders. In good condition at this level, the real upside is simply getting into one of Accuphase’s reference pieces without paying the usual premium; just confirm it’s complete and functioning cleanly, because with a product of this stature, provenance and cosmetic care matter as much as the headline price.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
