The C-2300 is a preamplifier from Accuphase, sitting above the C-2150 with comprehensive ten-input connectivity and somewhat different output configuration. The C-2300 brings Accuphase's most accomplished current engineering to line-stage preamplification.

Key specs that matter

Three balanced XLR inputs and seven single-ended RCA inputs are provided, with one balanced and two single-ended outputs. At 405 x 465 x 150mm and 19.3kg, the C-2300's somewhat greater weight than the C-2150 reflects Accuphase's more accomplished current internal engineering.

Sound and use context

Given Accuphase's broader reputation for uncompromising Japanese engineering, expect the C-2300 to deliver exceptionally clean signal handling representing the brand's more accomplished current preamplifier engineering.

Pairing

The comprehensive ten-input connectivity comfortably accommodates an elaborate multi-source system, and Accuphase's own P-588 power amplifier shares the brand's coherent engineering philosophy.

Alternatives

Accuphase's own C-2150 offers a somewhat more accessible alternative within the same broader preamplifier catalogue.
