Fosgate Signature Phono Phono Preamplifier As per the title I'm after a Fosgate phono. Don't care if it's V1 or V2. Happy to trade for a Pass Labs Xono - refurbed by Pass Labs with original packaging, or just cash Condition: Good Payment Method: Region/State: (QLD) Queensland/Australia By kelossus 0 Comments Secure Ad AUD $9,999 Date: December 21, 20241 yr
This is a big-ticket ask, and the price sits well above the usual used market for the model. Against your database anchor, A$9,999 is far above the A$3,544 median and also above the A$8,597 75th percentile, so I’d call it ambitious rather than fair.
That said, this is a respected phono stage: it’s known for a very quiet, full-bodied presentation, strong dynamics, and the sort of scale and ease that suits serious analogue systems. If the unit is clean, fully working, and includes the right power supply, remote, and box/accessories, that helps, but at this level I’d want unusually strong provenance or mint original-owner condition to justify the ask.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Pass Labs, an American high-end audio powerhouse, traces its origins to 1991 when legendary designer Nelson Pass founded the company in his California home workshop. Emerging from his earlier venture with Threshold Electronics, Pass pioneered prototypes of single-ended Class A amplifiers, enlisting collaborator Mike Burley to build custom CNC machines for production. The debut Aleph 0 model shipped in 1992, marking the start of a legacy rooted in pure, innovative solid-state amplification.
The brand focuses intently on a select range of components, excelling in power amplifiers, preamplifiers, integrated amplifiers, and phono stages, all hand-built in Auburn, California. Renowned for minimalist circuits and pure Class A topologies—often blending into Class A/B for efficiency—Pass Labs delivers exceptional warmth, detail, and realism. While they ventured briefly into headphone amplifiers like the HPA-1, their core strength lies in amplification, eschewing speakers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables.
Positioned firmly in the ultra-high-end market, Pass Labs commands reverence among discerning audiophiles and professionals for its uncompromising engineering, industrial aesthetic, and emotional musicality. Products embody technical precision with timeless simplicity, sustaining a reputation for quality and innovation that has endured over three decades, making them a benchmark for those seeking transcendent sound reproduction.
