Angeboten wird „CS-600X“ von Leben als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Vorverstärker / Prozessor“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 7979883402 endet am 04.08.2026 um 22:06 Uhr.
€4,000 looks like a strong buy against your recent EUR comps: it sits well below the €4,562 25th percentile and miles under the €5,124 median, so this is priced like a bargain rather than a fair-market asking. For a Leben CS600X, that’s the kind of gap that usually gets attention quickly if the amp is genuinely healthy.
The appeal here is the usual Leben case: compact integrated simplicity, a very musical presentation, and the sort of build quality that keeps these desirable in the used market. If the unit is clean, fully functional, and ideally comes with its original packaging or paperwork, the upside is even better; at this price, I’d mainly want to confirm service history, quiet operation, and that there’s no channel imbalance or transformer hum.

Leben Hi-Fi Stereo Company emerged from the vision of Taku Hyodo, a renowned Japanese tube audio engineer formerly with Luxman. After founding Kouri Denki Co. in 1979 to produce electronic components, Hyodo released his first commercial amplifier, the Triode 33 under the KFH brand, in 1991. He established Leben in 1992—drawing its name from the German word for "life," reflecting his philosophy that music is life—with the debut RS-35a power amplifier in 1995, followed by the RS-28c preamplifier in 1998.
The brand specializes exclusively in hand-built vacuum tube amplifiers, including integrated models like the celebrated CS-300 series, power amps, and preamplifiers. Crafted with point-to-point wiring, premium components, and often rare NOS tubes, Leben eschews mass production for meticulous, small-batch assembly by a skilled team. Features such as headphone outputs, bass boosters, and speaker selectors enhance versatility, while remote controls are notably absent in favor of pure analog focus.
Leben occupies a niche boutique position in the high-end hi-fi market, prized by tube enthusiasts for its musicality, reliability, and lifelike sound. Once Japan-exclusive, its global cult following has grown through limited exports, earning acclaim in audiophile circles as passion-driven masterpieces that deliver rewarding performance without compromise.
