Offered is „C 2420“ 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 4820911064 ends on 05.11.2026 at 19:13 o'clock.
At €4,300, this sits clearly below the €4,837 25th percentile and well under the €5,374 median, so it reads as a strong buy rather than just fair value. For a sought-after Accuphase preamp, that’s a meaningful discount in a market where clean examples usually command more.
The C-2420 is the kind of preamp people buy for refinement first: quiet background, polished tonal balance, excellent control, and that effortless Accuphase ease with good system matching. If the unit is genuinely in good shape and complete, the upside is strong here; at this price, the main thing to confirm is basic functionality, remote/included accessories, and service history if available.
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.
