Angeboten wird „Accuphase C-3900“ von Accuphase als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Transistor-Vorverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 3625773344 endet am 07.08.2026 um 14:56 Uhr.
At €25,000, this used Accuphase C-3900 is a fair price, sitting just above the median of €24,272 from five recent EUR comparable listings and well below the 75th percentile of €24,310. It is not a bargain—since it exceeds the 25th percentile of €17,598—but it’s clearly not ambitious either, especially given the new retail price of €32,200.
The C-3900 is a revered precision line preamp, celebrated for its ultra-low noise, flexible gain settings (12/18/24 dB), individual phase inversion per input, and robust XLR/Cinch connectivity. At this price, it offers serious high-end performance for roughly 22% less than new, making it a smart buy for enthusiasts who value Accuphase’s meticulous engineering and long-term reliability in a clean, original-owner condition.

Accuphase Laboratory, Inc., founded in 1972 in Tokyo by brothers Nakaichi and Jiro Kasuga, emerged from their departure from Trio-Kenwood, the company they had co-established decades earlier. Dissatisfied with mass-production compromises, the Kasugas formed Kensonic Laboratories—later renamed Accuphase Laboratory—and relocated to Yokohama in 1973. The brand name, blending "accurate" and "phase," reflected their commitment to precision audio reproduction amid the 1970s hi-fi boom. Their debut products, the P-300 power amplifier, C-200 preamplifier, and T-100 tuner, immediately earned acclaim, including Japan's Compo Grand Prix for the P-300.
Accuphase specializes in high-end electronics, renowned for integrated and power amplifiers, preamplifiers, tuners, CD players, and digital sources like DACs. While their core strength lies in meticulously engineered amplifiers celebrated for phase accuracy and reliability, the lineup extends to digital components, mains filters, and room correction units. Hand-assembled in Yokohama with top-tier parts and innovative circuits, these products prioritize sound purity over volume, eschewing speakers, turntables, headphones, or cables.
Positioned firmly in the ultra-premium high-end market, Accuphase commands reverence among audiophiles for its timeless build quality, engineering excellence, and enduring performance. Synonymous with Japanese hi-fi mastery, it stands as a reference benchmark, appealing to discerning buyers seeking components that deliver uncompromised musical fidelity and last for generations.
