Angeboten wird „Yaqin MS-2A3“ von Yaqin als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Röhren-Vollverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 9462015807 endet am 13.08.2026 um 08:58 Uhr.
At €1,100, this sits below current new-retail territory for the MS-2A3, which is roughly €1,295 from an EU dealer and about €1,010 on a direct-import listing, so the ask looks fair to slightly strong, not a bargain-basement score. It’s not overpriced if the unit is genuinely good and complete, but it’s also not so low that it should be snapped up blindly.
The appeal here is the usual 2A3 charm: a single-ended tube integrated with a very direct, textured midrange and a presentation that can sound especially alive with efficient speakers. That makes it a nice buy for someone wanting classic tube color without chasing collector pricing. If the listing includes the original tubes, box, and remote, that strengthens the value; if not, just make sure the amp has been running quietly and that the transformers are healthy, since replacement costs can eat into the savings.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Yaqin is a Chinese audio brand that appears to have been founded in 1994, with its manufacturing rooted in southern China, often associated with Foshan/Shenzhen-area production. Publicly available information suggests it began as a small family-run operation and was later built out into a more formal factory brand. The company’s exact founding story is not especially well documented in English, so details beyond the 1994 origin should be treated cautiously.
The brand is best known for vacuum-tube hi-fi components, especially integrated amplifiers, power amplifiers, tube preamps, and phono stages. Models such as the MC-10L, MC-13S, MC-84L, MC-100B, and MS-23B are frequently referenced by enthusiasts. Yaqin has also claimed broader production capabilities, including transformers and related audio electronics, though its core identity is clearly centered on tube amplification rather than loudspeakers, turntables, headphones, or cables.
In the market, Yaqin sits in the value-oriented to mid-tier tube-audio segment rather than the true high-end. Its appeal is strong among listeners who want classic valve sound, straightforward serviceability, and a relatively affordable path into tubes. It is not generally regarded as a luxury boutique marque, but it has earned a reputation for delivering decent performance for the money, especially for buyers comfortable with a more traditional, component-driven approach to hi-fi.
