For a small phono stage that sold new for modest money, £74 is a bit above the recent used median of £46 and also above the 75th percentile at £67, so this reads as ambitious rather than a bargain. It is not outrageous if the unit is genuinely excellent and fully complete, but there should be some room for negotiation at this level.
The appeal here is straightforward: these are handy, low-noise MM phono stages that do their job well and are easy to place in a system, so a clean example with its power supply has real utility. The value improves if it’s truly well cared for, since the included PSU matters and saves hassle; absent that, the price would feel much harder to justify.

ART Loudspeakers, founded in 1998 in Troon, Scotland, embodies a proud heritage of British audio craftsmanship. Emerging from the same innovative stable as the iconic Systemdek turntables, the brand has honed its expertise in precision engineering and musical fidelity for over two decades. Handcrafted in Scotland, ART continues this legacy, blending artistry with cutting-edge technology to create components that honor the nation's storied tradition in high-end sound reproduction.
The company focuses primarily on loudspeakers, renowned for their vintage-inspired aesthetics and advanced bass reflex designs, such as the early ART One and ART Two models, alongside Deco-style offerings. Complementing these are meticulously paired Systemdek turntables, forming a cohesive ecosystem for analog enthusiasts. While not venturing into amplifiers, DACs, headphones, or cables, ART's speakers stand out for their fusion of form and function, often showcased with select German drivers and Japanese transformers.
Positioned as a niche boutique player in the high-end market, ART Loudspeakers commands respect among discerning audiophiles for their exceptional build quality and emotive performance. Though relatively obscure outside specialist circles, models like the Stiletto 6 and Emotion Monitors earn praise for revealing musical nuances with elegance, appealing to buyers seeking handcrafted excellence over mass-market volume.
