Offered is „C-2300 PIA“ 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 9519839999 ends on 12.11.2026 at 20:02 o'clock.
Good condition makes €7,900 look fair-to-slightly-strong rather than cheap: the recent used asks I found cluster around roughly €5,200 to €7,990, with a lot of listings sitting near €7,500–€7,950, so this is basically at the upper end of the normal range. It’s not a bargain, but it’s also not out of line for a desirable Accuphase piece in clean shape.
That still makes it a sensible buy if the unit is genuinely tidy and complete, because the C-2300 is one of those preamps people keep for the long haul: quiet, refined, and very resolving without sounding lean. The upside is strongest if it includes the box, remote, and original paperwork, and if service history is known; at this level, provenance matters more than with a budget preamp.
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.
