Accuphase C-220 Stereo Control Amplifier In Very Good Condition

Accuphase C-220:
A great vintage Japanese amp with excellent sound!

The Accuphase C-220, released in Japan in 1977 during the “Golden Era” of Japanese high-quality audio equipment, is a high-fidelity dedicated control amplifier that was developed specifically for phono playback. Like other Golden Era Accuphase amps, this unit is remarkable for both its highly advanced circuit engineering and the high quality of the components used in its construction. Each unit amplifier (including the head amplifier) follows a Class A drive configuration. The input section of the head amplifier has a symmetrical push-pull differential amplifier with four ring emitter transistors (RET). The RETs provide high-frequency power amplification in the output stage, and as a result the C-220 has superb high-frequency performance and SNR. The RET has transistor units in parallel, allowing for high power amplification while maintaining the great high-frequency characteristics of small signal transistors. The sound resulting from these and other technical innovations is fantastic. If you’re looking for a truly great vintage Japanese amp, be sure to check out the Accuphase C-220.

This particular unit is in very good condition, with some signs of age and use (please check photos), including some scratches and overall yellowing. It has been thoroughly tested and checked by our professional in-house technician, confirming its flawless working quality. These Accuphase amps are known for their robust construction and use of only the highest quality parts, so it’s likely this unit will see many more years of use.
