Kinki Studio EX P27 Pre Amplifier The amp is in excellent condition apart from a couple of unfortunate scratches on the top panel . plenty of glowing reviews around the P27 Pre amp and the B7 monos which I also own, you would need to spend a hell of a lot more to better the sound of this pre. I’m the original owner bought new from Dacman Audio in Melbourne. The amp is in perfect working order Pretty sure I have the original box at work but need to check when I go back ,. comes with remote but no power cord https://6moons.com/audioreview_articles/kinki8/ https://theaudiobeatnik.com/kinki-
This is a bargain. At A$2,950, it sits well below the recent comparable AUD listings cluster of A$4,149 to A$4,559, with a median around A$4,354, so it’s pricing like a strong deal rather than a fair-market ask. For a Kinki Studio EX-P27, that’s an unusually low entry if the unit is genuine and healthy.
Before buying, verify the power supply behavior, relay switching, and all inputs/outputs for noise, crackles, or channel imbalance at low volume. Also confirm remote, original box, and any gain/trim settings are included; missing accessories can be a clue to rough handling, and repair support matters more than cosmetics on this kind of preamp.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
