Die Kombination war 2017 bei https://hifi-classic-reparatur.de/ zur Überholung, Herr Elmrich arbeitet super sorgfältig.
Ich habe noch einen zur Kombi passenden Tuner, den würde ich bei Interesse mitgeben. Er kann äusserlich nicht mit den Verstärkern mithalten, aber er funktioniert tadellos und die Front ist gut.
Versand wäre machbar, allerdings auf Risiko des Käufers und nach Absprache.
Lieber wäre mir Abholung, probehören bei Kaffee oder Tee und bei Gefallen mitnehmen.
The Hitachi HCA-7500, a 1978-80 Japanese stereo preamp, originally retailed around €475 equivalent. At €1,175 for excellent condition, this asking price is wildly ambitious—recent used sales hover in the €50-300 range, with mint originals fetching under €300 on enthusiast forums. It's no bargain; you'd be overpaying by 4-5x for vintage Hitachi build quality that's solid but not collector-rare.
Before biting, verify full servicing history—caps from the late '70s often leak or dry out, causing noise or channel imbalance, so insist on recent recap and bias checks. Confirm the original power cord, manual, and remote if applicable are included, as missing bits tank resale value. Test all inputs/outputs for hum-free performance.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Hitachi is a Japanese electronics giant founded in 1910 by engineer Namiya Iwafune, who began the company as a small workshop producing electric motors. Over the decades, Hitachi grew into a diversified conglomerate whose industrial and component expertise laid the groundwork for its later entry into consumer audio and video. By the 1970s, the company had established itself as a serious player in the home electronics market, leveraging its engineering heritage to build a reputation for robust, well‑engineered products.
In the hi‑fi and AV space, Hitachi is best known for integrated amplifiers, power amplifiers, cassette decks, and later CD players and DVD‑based equipment. The brand also produced televisions, VHS and DVD camcorders, and a small range of portable audio devices such as MP3 players. Its audio components often carried the “Lo‑D” designation, signalling low‑distortion circuitry and a focus on clean, transparent sound. Hitachi’s speakers from the 1970s and 1980s, in particular, are still praised by enthusiasts for their balanced, engaging presentation.
Today, Hitachi is regarded less as a dedicated high‑end marque and more as a respected mid‑tier brand with a strong vintage following. Its classic separates and cassette decks are sought after by collectors and second‑hand buyers who value their build quality and straightforward, musical performance. While Hitachi no longer dominates the hi‑fi mainstream, its legacy remains visible in the continued interest in its older components and in the broader influence of Japanese engineering on modern audio design.
