The Canary Audio C1300 is a handcrafted vacuum tube preamplifier built in California and described by Canary Audio as the single-chassis version of its highly regarded two-chassis preamplifier. It is designed for low-noise, high-quality musical reproduction and uses premium components, point-to-point style construction on military-grade epoxy circuit boards, and a tube-based power supply and audio circuit. The C1300 is listed by a dealer at €6,371 and was also referenced in a classified listing as a 2021 model with a retail price of $7,900. The model appears to be current or recently sold rather than clearly discontinued, but the available sources do not explicitly confirm its manufacturing status.
