At £167, this is well below the A30 Pro’s typical new price of about £249, so it’s a strong used buy if it’s working properly and the cosmetics are honest. That lands it in the “good deal” zone rather than merely fair, especially for a desktop amp that still sells in the mid-£200s new.
The A30 Pro is well-regarded for being extremely clean, quiet, and powerful, with enough output for most dynamic and planar headphones and a useful balanced desktop layout. At this price, the main things to verify are simply practical ones: that all inputs/outputs work, gain switching is smooth, and the unit includes the original power supply if possible; if those check out, this looks like a smart pickup rather than a gamble.
