Pioneer Exclusive C3a Stereo Preamplifier in Very Good Condition

Exclusive C3a:
A superb vintage Japanese-made amp!

Description

The Exclusive C3a (presented by Pioneer) is a vintage high-fidelity stereo preamplifier that was released in Japan in 1981, during the “Golden Era” of Japanese hifi equipment. The C3a is highly similar to the Exclusive C3 and was built to pursue the most beautiful sound possible, via advanced circuit engineering and the use of the highest quality components. The technical specs of the C3a are impressive, while the circuitry was designed in particular to emphasize musical dynamics and reproduce transients with high resolution in the time domain. In the equalizer amplifier (with a high allowable input by virtue of its 140 V design) is a 1-stage differential and 3-stage direction connection class A SEPP circuit. The sound of the C3a is nothing short of exceptional. If you’re looking for a truly great vintage Japanese preamp, be sure to check out the Pioneer Exclusive C3a.

This particular unit is in very good condition, with some signs of age or use, such as some scratches, dents, peel-off and cracks on the corners of the wood paneling (please check photos). The power light does not light on. However, it has been thoroughly tested and checked by our professional in-house technician, confirming its flawless working quality. These vintage Japanese amps are known for their robust construction and use of the highest quality parts, so it’s likely this unit will see many more years of use.
