Pioneer C-90a:
A fantastic reference-grade control amp!
Description
The Pioneer C-90a, released in Japan in 1988 during the “Golden Era” of Japanese high-fidelity audio equipment, is a sleek high-quality control amplifier. It features a “simple is best” circuit topology, which provides exceptional sound. The C-90a features a mono-construction design with a 3-transformer multi-power supply, with a high level of channel independence for components as well as the physical circuit boards, preventing cross interference. This includes the audio and video systems, which are co-isolated. The MC stage on this amp is particularly impressive, with excellent high frequency performance. The C-90a is a superb unit, offering great sound by virtue of its design and quality of build. It was designed to be paired with the Pioneer M-90a power amp.
This amp is in very good condition, with some sign of aging, including noticeable scratches, dents, residue of tape and spots (please see photos). This amplifier has been thoroughly checked and tested by our professional technician, who has confirmed its integrity and working condition.
