About this model
The Micromega PA20 is a stereo preamplifier from French audio brand Micromega, designed to serve as a high-quality signal hub between source components and a power amplifier. Micromega built a reputation in the audiophile market for combining clean, musical signal handling with refined European aesthetics - the silver finish here reflecting that design sensibility. As a dedicated preamp, the PA20 sits in the signal chain to provide volume control and source switching without adding coloration, making it well suited to a transparent, high-fidelity listening setup.
A great opportunity to own a Micromega PA20 Silver at this price point.
This is a fair ask, maybe a touch ambitious depending on completeness. The original PA-20 landed at about US$1,995, and the used market tends to cluster well below that, with recent asking prices commonly around the mid-US$300s to mid-US$600s and occasional higher examples for especially clean or bundled units, so US$784 sits above the typical sweet spot but not outrageously so.
What makes it interesting is the unit’s reputation for a very clean, controlled, low-coloration presentation that gets out of the way of the system. If this one is truly clean, fully functional, and includes the proper power supply and any original accessories, it’s still a respectable buy for someone who wants a refined, no-nonsense preamp rather than a flavor piece.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Micromega, a French hi-fi brand founded in 1987 by Daniel Schar, emerged from Paris with a bold focus on innovation during the digital audio revolution. Its early triumphs included the top-loading CD-F1 player and the pioneering separate transport-DAC CD setup, alongside collaborations like the acclaimed LEEDH speakers by Gilles Milot and the enduring Epure turntable by Pierre Riffaud. Acquired and revitalized by Didier Hamdi around 2007, the company upholds its heritage of in-house French design and manufacture, guided by the mantra of sound purity.
The brand excels in compact, technology-driven categories such as integrated amplifiers, CD players, preamps, power amps, DACs, streamers, and turntables. Standouts include the M-One series flagship M-150 amplifier with 150W Class-AB power, AK4490 DAC, and proprietary M.A.R.S. room correction; the ultra-compact MyAmp; and modern all-in-one solutions like the M100 streamer-DAC-amp with phono input. Past lines like AirDream and MO emphasized accessible high-performance digital and analog sources.
Micromega occupies a niche boutique position in the mid-to-high-end market, prized by discerning buyers for its forward-thinking engineering and value-driven pricing—from under €500 for entry-level amps to around $7,500 for flagships. Longevity since the 1980s earns it respect among vintage enthusiasts, while recent UK returns via Absolute Sounds affirm its cult following, though sparse warranty data tempers expectations for some.
