A valued customer has recently upgraded to a Tom Evans Audio Design 'Mastervibe' preamp, and so his Vibe/Pulse, preamp/power supply, is now for sale.Both The 'Vibe' Preamp and 'Pulse 2.2' external power supply were upgraded to the then latest (1.5) spec' in 2019.This Vibe preamp is in lovely cond...
Condition is unknown, but at A$6,200 this sits well below the A$7,610 25th percentile and nearly A$1,500 under the A$7,687 median, so it reads as a strong buy rather than a stretch. For a used Tom Evans VIBE, that’s an attractive entry point in the current AUD market.
The VIBE has a solid reputation for refined, low-noise amplification and an easy, musical presentation that rewards good partnering gear. At this price, the upside is clear if it’s complete, unmodified in any problematic way, and operating cleanly; with no condition detail, the buyer should mainly confirm provenance, service history, and that all accessories are present.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Tom Evans Audio Design is a UK-based electronics manufacturer founded by Tom Evans, a highly regarded designer recognized worldwide for his innovative approach to high-fidelity amplification. Evans established himself as a creative force in the audiophile community through his work on landmark designs, including modified versions of classic amplifiers and proprietary preamp and power amp architectures that have earned genuine respect among serious listeners.
The brand specializes in premium amplification and analog electronics, with a product portfolio encompassing power amplifiers, preamplifiers, and phonostages. Notable offerings include the Linear B mono blocks, the Vibe preamplifier with Pulse power supply, and the Groove+ phonostage—all positioned at the high end of the market. Evans' designs are characterized by meticulous engineering and attention to signal integrity, reflecting his philosophy that loudspeaker integration is fundamental to amplifier development.
Tom Evans Audio occupies a distinctly niche position within the high-end market, appealing to discerning collectors and audiophiles willing to invest substantially in analog-focused systems. The brand commands premium pricing, with flagship components reaching into five figures, and maintains a boutique presence rather than mass-market distribution. While the company's current operational status has been subject to some uncertainty in recent years, its legacy as a purveyor of cutting-edge amplification design remains established within serious audiophile circles.
