Perreaux Audiant VP3 phono preamplifier In excellent condition, with original manual, no scratches or damages. Two-Turntable Support and front-panel switching—ideal for setups with both MM and MC cartridges ready to go.The VP3 has two separate, fully-customisable, low-noise input stages for Movin...
A$1,500 is a fair ask, sitting a little above the A$1,415 median and well inside the typical range between A$1,062 and A$1,901. It’s not a bargain on the raw numbers, but it also isn’t pushing into ambitious territory for this market.
That makes it interesting if the unit is clean, fully functional, and complete, because this is the kind of phono stage people buy to keep: Perreaux gear has a solid reputation for quiet, musically natural performance, and a good phono preamp can outlast several cartridges and turntables. At this price, I’d want the listing to confirm working status, any original packaging or power supply details, and whether the unit has been serviced or is still running as intended.

Perreaux traces its roots to 1974, when Peter Perreaux founded the company in the small New Zealand town of Napier. From humble beginnings with the legendary GS 2002 Class A integrated amplifier, it quickly gained traction through meticulous design and handcrafted quality, expanding exports to Australia and the Americas by the late 1970s. Relocating to Dunedin in 2005, Perreaux has upheld its Kiwi heritage, blending innovation—like early MOSFET adoption in the SA80B power amp—with a commitment to superior sound reproduction.
The brand specializes in high-end hi-fi components, renowned for amplifiers, preamplifiers, and integrated systems that prioritize refined circuitry and rock-solid build quality. Its lineup also encompasses loudspeakers and select audio electronics, all hand-assembled with custom-selected parts, including bespoke transistors. Perreaux avoids mass-market diversification into turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables, focusing instead on core amplification and playback excellence.
Positioned firmly in the audiophile high-end market, Perreaux commands respect for its reliability, longevity, and uncompromised performance, distributed in over 30 countries. Collectors and discerning buyers value its vintage appeal alongside modern, future-proof designs, distinguishing it as a boutique powerhouse that outpaces competitors through precision engineering and timeless craftsmanship.
