Very good condition.  Includes remote control.  Will ship in original factory packaging

The C-2410 inherits the superb design technology of the C-2810, including the improved AAVA (Accuphase Analog Vari-gain Amplifier) volume control with similar specs and configuration. AAVA is a revolutionary concept that takes a radically different approach from conventional volume controls. The result is high performance and sound quality far exceeding conventional designs.

• Logic-controlled relays assure high sound quality and long-term reliability
• EXT PRE function allows use of external preamplifier
• Selectable preamp gain
• Independent phase selection for each input position
• Dedicated headphone amplifier optimized for sound quality
• Aluminum-base side panels with persimmons wood finish provide a striking visual appeal
• Tone controls using summing active filters for highest sound quality

The C-2410 preamplifier from Accuphase is a big, full size device. It is as big as the integrated amplifier E-213, its weight is also nearly the same, what tells much about the construction of the preamplifier. In the front we have two large knobs – one for the volume control and one for input selection, and an acrylic plate covering the following indicators:

• output on indicator;
• absolute phase indicator on the outputs (on the XLR socket the “hot” pin is the nr “3”);
• indication of activation of timbre controls;
• mono mode indication, usable while listening to mono LPs;
• tape monitoring indication;
• subsonic filter cutting bass below 10Hz indicator (useful for LPs);
• MC cartridge load: 10-30-100Ω;
• loudness;
• power reduction indicator

There is also a green back lit logo of the company. Below, hidden behind a tab, we find more controls. There is also a 6.3” jack for the headphones. We have:

• output selector;
• treble and bass regulation;
• balance;
• absolute phase trigger;
• mono/stereo switch;
• MC cartridge load selector;
• subsonic filter;
• MM and MC cartridge amplification selection: MM 30-36dB and MC 62-68dB
• unit amplification selector: 12-18-24 dB.
