Offered is „P1SE Power Amplifier“ by Audio Note as second-hand device from the category „Tube-Poweramp“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 6264775826 ends on 03.12.2026 at 15:04 o'clock.
New, the Audio Note P1 SE was listed around €4,700, so €1,600 represents a substantial discount. Against two recent used examples, however, it is just above the €1,522 median and slightly above the €1,561 upper quartile: fair-to-firm rather than a bargain, though still defensible for a clean, properly working example.
This is a highly regarded low-power valve amplifier: pure Class A, parallel-single-ended EL84 output, with a direct, spacious and rhythmically engaging presentation when partnered with suitably sensitive speakers. Its roughly 10 watts per channel suits efficient designs particularly well, and the 4/8-ohm taps are useful. At this price, confirm the valve complement, quiet operation, correct mains version, and recent service history; fresh valves or missing documentation would reasonably weaken the case.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Audio Note (UK) traces its roots to 1991, when Peter Qvortrup, a seasoned valve amplifier designer with prior experience at Audio Innovations, founded the company in Sussex, England. Collaborating initially with Hiroyasu Kondo, Qvortrup launched the OTO PP integrated amplifier that year—a modular valve design still in production today, hand-built in their Partridge Green factory. This enduring debut underscores the brand's commitment to timeless engineering over fleeting trends.
The company specializes in complete, in-house valve-based audio systems, crafting everything from turntable cartridges and tonearms to preamplifiers, power amplifiers, DACs, speakers, and cables. Their modular philosophy permeates the lineup, allowing tailored configurations while prioritizing premium components like custom-wound transformers and silver wiring for purest signal paths.
Positioned as Europe's largest and most prestigious maker of ultra-performance valve hi-fi, Audio Note (UK) commands the high-end niche, appealing to discerning audiophiles seeking musical authenticity over mass-market convenience. With a global distribution network and a reputation for longevity, it stands as a boutique benchmark for those investing in heirloom-grade sound reproduction.
