The C1000C/T is a vacuum tube type that fascinates the enjoyment of music with its mellow and delicate expression in the preamp part. By adopting a dual chassis configuration that separates the power supply part and the preamplifier part, the inflow of noise into the preamplifier part is suppressed, It realizes high-purity music playback and allows you to listen to sound with a sense of stability typical of the top end. There are small scratches on the exterior. Serial JWF1148/JWH1113 (Kimiya Miura)

It's been maintained! An initial model with 3 digits of serial! Original MODEL7 The glossy mid-high range with a high sense of transparency is firmly expressed, #7ならではの切れ込みの良さと厚みの絶妙なバランスが楽しめます。 It's a model that's been released for more than half a century for analog fans, but it's still a longing one. Please enjoy the glossy and indescribable atmosphere. * Since this model is the earliest model in the N0.10000 series, the switching noise of TREBLE is slightly larger. Also, the sound leakage when the volume is narrowed down is slightly larger. (If you are concerned, squeezing the OUT LEVEL on the back will improve it somewhat.) (Yoichi Murakoshi)
