For sale is my Accuphase C-47 phono stage. This is a 230v unit originally intended for the European market and was purchased in September last year from a Japanese dealer as one of the last production C-47 units before the C-57 was introduced. It is in mint condition and comes with all original packaging and materials, including Accuphase interconnects.
It is a superb sounding, superbly built phono stage with adjustable loading and gain for any cartridge, both MM and MC, with balanced and single-ended inputs and outputs, and can simultaneously connect up to 4 turntables or tonearms (1 balanced and 3 single-ended).
Accuphase gear is universally highly regarded. Some selected reviews:

The C-47 presents a well-developed, wide, and deep soundstage that the "tube army" might label "holographic" or "3D." It loses nothing by being a solid-state unit; in fact, we'd argue the "density" we're hearing might even be a characteristic of its solid-state design.
Regardless of the topology, the C-47 makes music beautiful. In our opinion, it balances all the frequency regions so impeccably and fills the room with so much audible beauty that we never found ourselves pondering bass, midrange, or treble. We were just wholly immersed in the music – and that's the ultimate goal for any hi-fi component. Is it worth the money? Damn tootin' it is... every penny!

That the C-47 is one of the finest phono preamps available these days, and in the sum of its qualities something like the gold standard ...

The retail price I have quoted is the lowest Australian retail price I could, but it actually retailed for significantly more than this. I am always open to reasonable offers, but lowball offers will be politely ignored.
Pick up is available, or I can ship at the buyer's cost and risk. It is a heavy unit, so shipping will be with Pack & Send.
