This is an older but still respected tube phono stage, and age matters a bit more than model replacement here than because it’s obsolete. At US$669, it lands above the commonly cited new-street price of about US$500, so this is not a bargain and feels a little ambitious unless it’s in truly excellent shape with extras.
That said, the PHO-700 is well liked for its warm, spacious presentation, strong vocal body, and generally musical MM performance, with enough refinement to compete well in its class. If it’s been gently used, properly serviced, and comes with the original box and power supply, it can still be a rewarding buy — just make sure the tubes are healthy and that you’re paying for condition, not just the badge.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
