The condition is listed as unknown, so £166 is fair rather than a standout bargain: it sits above the £112 median but comfortably below the £249 75th percentile for comparable examples. The box helps, but the price really depends on whether the unit is clean, complete and tested.
The OBH-15 Mk2 remains a particularly capable compact phono stage, offering both MM and MC support, useful gain choices and adjustable loading. It has a strong reputation for quiet, musical performance and good rhythm, making it a sensible upgrade from basic built-in phono stages. Confirm that the dedicated power supply is included, check that both inputs and gain/loading switches work, and ask for evidence of operation; with those boxes ticked, £166 is a reasonable enthusiast price rather than an overreach.
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.
