Pure class a triode preamp from the highly regarded ayon audio of austria. This is the top level very latest balanced signature mk2 model of this outstanding preamp. Absolutely perfect condition complete with all original packaging and accessories.
At £6,495, this sits right on top of the recent used market for this model: the median is £6,482, with the 25th percentile at £6,458 and the 75th at £6,493, so it’s a fair ask rather than a bargain or a stretch. Against the cost of buying new when available, that still looks like sensible money for a high-end pair in excellent condition.
That’s the real appeal here: this is a serious statement speaker with the kind of scale, refinement, and effortless dynamics that tend to keep Ayon gear desirable on the second-hand market. Excellent condition is a meaningful plus on something this substantial, because cosmetic wear and handling damage are often the first things to show. If stands, grills, boxes, or original paperwork are included, that strengthens the buy further; otherwise, the price is still fair, just not a steal.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Ayon Audio traces its roots to Austria, where it emerged four decades ago as VAIC before evolving into Ayon Audio in 2001 under the leadership of founder Gerhard Hirt. This transition marked a pivotal shift toward innovative vacuum tube audio design, building on Hirt's enduring ownership of the VAIC trademark and his passion for sonic purity.
The brand specializes in a comprehensive lineup of vacuum tube components, including power amplifiers, preamplifiers, headphone amplifiers, CD players, DACs, and streamers. Ayon's signature "Voicing"—its proprietary DNA—infuses every product with a distinctive soundstage renowned for depth, realism, and emotional engagement, setting new benchmarks in pure Class A circuit topologies.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Ayon commands global respect with distributors in over 55 countries and a trophy cabinet brimming from "Best Sound" and "Cost No Object" accolades at major audio shows. Austrian-engineered and award-winning, it appeals to discerning audiophiles seeking boutique excellence in tube amplification, far beyond mid-tier compromises.
