Offered is „LP 103 LCR Phonovorstufe“ by Music First audio as new device from the category „Phono Amplifier“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 6407434072 ends on 07.11.2026 at 09:23 o'clock.
Would you pay €11,200 when the recent used median is €6,371 and even the 75th percentile is only €10,229? That makes this one look ambitious rather than fair, and it sits above the current upper end of the usual used spread.
What keeps it interesting is the reputation: the LP 103 LCR is a serious MM/MC phono stage with transformer-based design, strong review backing, and a current new price around £7,300 plus VAT, so it’s a legitimately high-end piece. If the listing is complete, clean, and well cared for, it’s a desirable buy — just not at this ask unless there’s something exceptional included.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Music First Audio traces its roots to 1963, when Stevens & Billington Limited was founded in the UK by Mr. Stevens and Mr. Billington as a specialist audio transformer winding business. Based in Rye, East Sussex, the company supplied custom wire-wound components to professional audio, broadcast, and hi-fi industries, including clients like Beyerdynamic, Quad, and Audio Note. After Stevens departed in 1971, Jonathan Billington—son of the remaining founder—took the helm, eventually rebranding and expanding into full hi-fi products under Music First Audio, leveraging decades of transformer expertise.
The brand specializes in handcrafted transformers at its core, powering a focused lineup of high-end passive preamplifiers, such as the renowned Classic and Mk.II models, which evolved from simple transformer volume controls to feature bi-amping and remote options. Their catalog emphasizes transformer-based amplifiers and related components, all handmade in their Rye Harbour workshop, prioritizing purity in signal path over active circuitry.
Positioned as a niche boutique in the high-end hi-fi market, Music First Audio commands respect among audiophiles for its transparent, detailed sound derived from proprietary transformers. While some critics note premium pricing, its cult following underscores a commitment to uncompromised analog performance, appealing to discerning buyers seeking transformer-driven elegance over mass-market alternatives.
