A solid, well-liked phono stage, and the asking price sits right at the top of the recent market rather than beyond it. With a median of US$625 and a 75th percentile of US$650, US$650 reads as fair-to-firm, not a bargain, but still squarely in normal territory for a clean example.
The appeal here is straightforward: this is a respected tube phono stage with a strong reputation for musical, spacious playback and good value when compared with pricier standalone stages. If the unit is complete, quiet, and in honest condition, it’s a sensible buy for someone wanting a good moving-magnet/moving-coil front end without stepping into boutique money. At this price, though, it should be well cared for and ideally include the original box, power supply, and any tubes or extras to justify paying near the top end.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
