iFi Audio Zen phono Phono Preamplifier As new condition, well reviewed , phono pre amp. i have only used MM carts with it. Add $15 for postage. Condition: Excellent Payment Method: All Region/State: (VIC) Victoria/Australia By VinMelb 0 Comments AUD $160 Date: March 18, 20251 yr
This is a fair-to-good ask rather than a steal: A$160 sits just under the A$168 median and above the A$137 25th percentile, so it’s priced in the normal-to-strong part of the used market without overreaching.
What makes it worth a look is the ZEN line’s solid reputation for clean, quiet preamp duty in compact desktop or system-building setups, and like new condition is a real plus if the box, power supply, and original accessories are all there. At this price, it looks like a sensible buy for someone who wants a well-liked, low-fuss iFi piece without paying top-of-market money.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
iFi Audio is a British hi-fi technology company founded in 2012 by Abbingdon Music Research (AMR), a prestigious manufacturer of high-end electronics based in Southport, England. The venture was conceived as a way to democratize advanced AMR engineering by applying proprietary technologies developed for premium home audio to portable, more affordable devices. This strategic pivot proved remarkably successful, establishing iFi as a bridge between audiophile-grade sound quality and accessible pricing.
The brand specializes in portable and desktop audio components, with a product portfolio exceeding 50 devices spanning DACs, headphone amplifiers, Bluetooth streamers, music players, power conditioners, and cables. Flagship products include the iDSD Micro, Hip DAC, xDSD, and xCAN amplifier, all engineered to deliver high-resolution audio support and studio-quality fidelity in compact form factors. iFi has also gained recognition for innovation in wireless audio, notably with their GO Pods earphones featuring xMEMS technology and their Bluetooth-enabled DAC/amp solutions.
iFi occupies a distinctive mid-to-premium market position, offering audiophile-caliber performance at entry-level to mid-tier pricing. The company sources components globally from Germany, Japan, and the USA, and employs proprietary technologies such as PureWave balanced circuitry to minimize noise and distortion. Rather than competing in the ultra-luxury segment, iFi targets discerning listeners who demand measurable sonic improvement without premium price tags, making it a trusted choice for both portable and desktop audio enthusiasts.
