I fint skick och med original kartong. Original Sovtek EL84 (samma som 6P14P?) som inte använts så mycket av mig. Golden Dragon ECC83. Låter precis så bra som alla säger men jag har för många förstärkare och har en förkärlek för lågwatts SET. Något litet "färgsläpp" i ena hörnet som går att snygga till. Originalkartong kvar så kan skickas. Provlyssning går att ordna.
This is a strong deal and a genuine bargain. The asking price of SEK 22,000 sits well below the 25th percentile of SEK 23,417 from your database, making it significantly cheaper than the recent median of SEK 24,391. Even compared to international listings, which often hover around SEK 30,000–45,000 (€1,700–€2,690 or £3,999), this Japanese tube integrated offers exceptional value for the price.
The Leben CS300XS is a beloved valve integrated amplifier that delivers warm, musical sound with 15W per channel from four EL84 tubes, making it perfect for efficient speakers. Its compact, hand-built Japanese design and distinctive aesthetic add to its appeal, while the low price suggests an original-owner find or a seller eager to move it quickly. With no red flags in the listing description, this is a buying opportunity for anyone seeking high-quality tube sound without the usual premium.

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.
