A £94 ask is well above the obvious alternative at this price point: most recent used OBH-11 listings cluster around £37, with £33 at the 25th percentile and £44 at the 75th, so this is clearly ambitious rather than fair. Even with the model’s reputation, that price needs something special to justify it.
The OBH-11 is a nicely regarded, lively-sounding little headphone amp that can be a real step up from a typical amp or receiver headphone out, especially with higher-impedance headphones. At £94, though, I’d want original packaging, a known-good power supply, and genuinely clean condition before treating it as a buy; without that, there are better-value examples of the same amp.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Creek Audio traces its origins to 1982, when founder Michael Creek launched the brand from a modest setup in his London home and garage. Guided by a philosophy of delivering high-quality hi-fi at accessible prices, the company debuted with the CAS4040 integrated amplifier and soon followed with the matching CAS3040 tuner, both priced at £99. Rapid demand prompted a move to larger facilities, fueling expansion through the 1980s and into the 1990s, when Creek bought back the brand rights in 1993 with international partners, reestablishing operations in north London.
The brand specializes in amplifiers, remaining true to its roots with integrated models like the iconic 4330 SE, while expanding into tuners, DACs, and select digital sources. Creek's designs, crafted by Mike Creek and his engineering team using advanced CAD and testing, emphasize compact, reliable electronics over flashy aesthetics, with wooden accents nodding to vintage trends.
Positioned as a mid-tier British staple, Creek Audio enjoys a loyal following among discerning buyers seeking unpretentious performance without high-end premiums. Its reputation for value-driven amplification has sustained it for over four decades, appealing to both newcomers and seasoned enthusiasts who prioritize musicality and longevity in a crowded market.
