At US$5,999, this is above the median but still inside the normal used range; it’s a touch rich versus the US$5,342 median, yet not out of line given the US$7,290 75th percentile. In buyer terms, I’d call it fair-but-not-cheap rather than a bargain.
This is a highly regarded phono stage because it’s a serious, fully realized analog front end with the kind of scale, drive, and low-level detail that reward good vinyl chains. The dual power-supply setup is the kind of inclusion that matters on a unit like this, since it usually signals a more complete and desirable package, so a clean example with the right tubes and accessories is worth a close look.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
