A fair ask: at A$791, this sits just above the A$768 median and still inside the A$733 to A$797 recent comparable band, so it’s priced right around normal market level rather than at a discount. It’s not a bargain, but it also isn’t ambitious.
The appeal here is straightforward: Lehmann’s phono stages have a strong reputation for quiet, clean, highly resolved playback, with enough flexibility to suit both MM and MC setups. If the unit is tidy and complete, this is the kind of box that can slot into a serious vinyl chain and stay there for years. At this price, I’d mainly want confirmation of working order and any included power supply or packaging, since completeness matters more when you’re paying near the middle of the range.

Lehmann Audio traces its roots to 1988, when Norbert Lehmann, then a young sound engineering student and guitarist in Cologne, Germany, founded the company—initially under the name Entec—driven by a passion for faithful music reproduction. From his studies, Lehmann identified critical factors like power, signal-to-noise ratio, and low distortion as essentials for high-fidelity audio, shaping the brand's engineering philosophy from the outset.
The company specializes in a focused lineup of high-end components, renowned for headphone amplifiers such as the Linear, Studio/Stage series, and innovative models like the Drachenfels, alongside phono stages starting with the acclaimed Black Cube in 1995. It also offers power amplifiers, drawing technology from pro-audio applications, but eschews broader categories like speakers, turntables, DACs, or headphones.
Lehmann Audio holds a niche boutique position in the high-end hi-fi market, celebrated for its expert German engineering, award-winning performance, and consistent praise in international reviews. With over three decades of refinement, it appeals to discerning audiophiles seeking precise, distortion-free sound in compact, pro-grade separates.
