Accuphase C2400 How does it compare?

Just out of curiosity, and I'm in the market, how does this beauty compare to preamps such as Aethetix Calypso, or Pass XP20? Is it in the same league or is it just an old school pretty face?

This unit has tone controls. You remember, bass and treble. It's somewhat amusing to me now looking at my Yamaha CR-820 - sitting in the closet next to this computer - which even has a loudness control. Those were rather useful. I know in the purest sense, tone controls can be considered subtractive but I sort of miss them.

Anyone here evn compared or had a listen to one of these C2400's?

I have C2400 and it makes absolute fantastic sound with the Accuphase 50V Class A amp driving my Maxx3.
It has to be used in balanced mode for best result.
And those tone controlls are really handy. I can t understand why most high ends pre´s s lacks them.
