Unit only with no power supply, but at US$25 this is still a strong bargain versus the typical used market: it sits well below the US$48 25th percentile and far under the US$62 median. For a working sample, that leaves enough room to source the proper adapter and still stay ahead of normal asking prices.
This little preamp has a long track record as a handy budget utility box for vocals, instruments, and general line-level gain, so the appeal is practical rather than glamorous. The upside here is simple: if it powers up cleanly and the missing supply is the only issue, it’s a low-cost way to get a usable ART tube front end without paying median-market money.

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.
