Angeboten wird „C2 Preamp - Free Shipping Worldwide“ von Dan D Agostino als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Transistor-Vorverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 8213915329 endet am 03.08.2026 um 09:23 Uhr.
This Dan D’Agostino C2 Preamp asking price of €38,000 is ambitious, clearly exceeding the 75th percentile of €26,708 from 26 recent comparable EUR listings. The median used market sits at €20,637, with the 75th percentile at €26,708, so this listing demands a significant premium over typical used values. While new C2 units retail around €55,000–€60,000 in EUR, a used example at €38,000 is not a bargain but rather a high-end ask for a pre-owned unit.
The C2 is well-regarded for its revolutionary complementary four-circuit topology, hand-built quality in Arizona, and exceptional sonic clarity. It excels in transparency, dynamics, and tonal richness, making it a top-tier choice for serious hi-fi enthusiasts. If this is original-owner condition with full accessories and pristine performance, the price reflects rarity and timing rather than pure value. At this level, buyers should verify condition meticulously, but for a clean, well-preserved unit, it remains a compelling opportunity for those seeking elite analog performance.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Dan D’Agostino Master Audio Systems is a U.S. high-end audio brand founded in 2011 and based in Cave Creek, Arizona. It was created by Dan D’Agostino, one of the most influential names in modern American amplification and the longtime founder of Krell. The brand grew out of his decades of work in high-performance audio, with a clear emphasis on combining serious engineering, distinctive industrial design, and a deeply music-first philosophy.
The company is best known for amplification: flagship integrated amplifiers, power amplifiers, and preamplifiers are its core products, alongside phono stages and DACs in some lines. Its components are built for serious two-channel systems rather than broad consumer audio, and the lineup is organized around a few highly refined families rather than a wide mass-market catalog. Dan D’Agostino does not focus on speakers, turntables, headphones, or cables as its main identity.
In the market, Dan D’Agostino sits firmly in the ultra-high-end, boutique category. It is a statement brand associated with audiophile reference systems, luxury cabinetry, and very high performance expectations. Buyers tend to see it as a prestige manufacturer with strong engineering credibility and a distinctive visual signature, aimed at enthusiasts who want no-compromise amplification at the top end of the market.
