£598 looks like a very good buy rather than a stretch. Used examples have surfaced around £1,000, with older sales showing £950-£1,050, so this listing sits well below the usual asking level for the model.
That matters because the CVA 306 is a genuinely respected multi-channel valve preamp: built like a tank, rare enough to stay interesting, and prized for its smooth, spacious presentation in home cinema or SACD systems. If it’s complete with remote and manual and working properly, this is the kind of listing that rewards quick, serious interest.

Copland, a Danish hi-fi brand rooted in central Copenhagen, was founded in the mid-1980s by Ole Møller, a veteran audio engineer whose career began at Ortofon developing low-noise amplifiers. Drawn to valve technology, Møller established the company to pursue his passion for innovative audio electronics, blending decades of expertise into designs that prioritize sonic purity. Production briefly shifted to Sweden in the 1990s under Xena Audio ownership to meet demand, but Copland returned to its Danish home, reclaiming its dedicated factory.
The brand focuses on a select range of premium components, renowned for class-leading integrated amplifiers and CD players that showcase Møller's mastery of valves and solid-state hybrids. Models like the CSA150 and CSA100 exemplify this dedication, delivering exceptional sound quality through smart engineering rather than expansive catalogs. Copland avoids speakers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables, concentrating instead on amplification excellence.
Positioned as a niche boutique in the high-end market, Copland commands a devoted global audiophile following and garners prestigious awards for its refined, award-winning products. It appeals to discerning buyers seeking understated elegance and superior performance over mass-market volume, standing alongside Scandinavian icons like Dynaudio and Primare in a legacy of precision craftsmanship.
