Superb Headphone Amplifier. Complete with Emission Labs 300B Mesh Plate output valves Approx 7 years old (one owner from new) Hardly usedbarely run in.
At £3,200, this is well above the typical used market for comparable units: against your recent GBP listings, it sits far over the £1,958 75th percentile and roughly more than double the £1,444 median. That makes the asking price ambitious, not fair-value territory.
That said, this is the sort of amp people buy for its tone, output stage and real-deal 300B appeal rather than feature count. The 20th-anniversary version should have collector cachet, and an excellent-condition example can justify a premium if it’s clean, original and complete. For a buyer, the key upside is getting a well-regarded, high-end single-ended design in a desirable variant; just make sure the condition really is as described and that there are no missing parts or service needs hidden behind the premium.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Audion is a British hi-fi brand founded in 1987, with roots in the UK tube-audio scene. It was established by David Chessell, working with designer Erik Anderson, after their experience around Audio Innovations. The company emerged with a clear mission: to make serious valve amplification more accessible without losing the qualities that appeal to audiophiles.
The brand is best known for tube amplifiers, especially integrated and power amps, with a strong emphasis on single-ended and no-feedback designs. Audion’s early identity was built around compact, purist amplification rather than a broad catalog of source components or loudspeakers. It is not primarily known for turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables.
In the market, Audion sits firmly in the niche boutique-to-high-end end of the spectrum, appealing to buyers who value classic valve sound, hand-built engineering, and British hi-fi heritage. It is more specialist than mainstream, with a reputation tied to musicality, transparency, and traditional tube craftsmanship rather than mass-market versatility.
