This is a strong buyer’s market for high-end Greek integrateds right now, and the kr139,000 SEK asking price for the Ypsilon Phaethon is a genuine bargain, sitting well below the 25th percentile of kr155,501 SEK in our recent comparable listings. With the median at kr252,876 SEK and the 75th at kr317,253 SEK, this unit is priced nearly kr16,500 SEK under the 25th percentile, making it an exceptional deal for a hybrid amplifier that blends transformer-based volume control with a bridged single-ended tube output stage delivering 110Wpc into 8 ohms.
The Phaethon is revered for its lush midrange, musicality, and ability to drive difficult loads while retaining the warmth of tubes without sacrificing control, thanks to separate power supplies for the tube and output stages. At this price, you’re getting a rare opportunity to own a top-tier hybrid that typically retails around €16,500–€31,500 (roughly kr180,000–kr350,000 SEK) new, with no red flags raised by the listing—assuming condition is sound, this is a clear buying opportunity for enthusiasts who value tonal richness and dynamic presence.
