Our Thoughts RADAR AI

At £250, this lands well below the £320 25th percentile and far under the £676 median for recent UK comparables, so it reads as a strong deal rather than merely fair. Against the broader used spread up to £1,267, it is priced on the low side for a proper MM/MC phono stage.

That makes it appealing if you want a serious analogue front-end upgrade without paying much more than entry-level money. Monrio phono stages have a good reputation for clean, quiet gain and sensible loading flexibility, which is exactly what matters with both moving magnet and moving coil cartridges. If it’s tidy and working properly, this is the kind of listing that can be an easy buy; just confirm the power supply, selector switches, and any cartridge-loading options are all present and functioning.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Monrio

Monrio is an Italian hi-fi brand with roots going back to 1991, when it began issuing amplifiers; it was later known in the 1990s for models such as the Cento HP power amp. The company also appears to have a background in audio distribution before becoming a brand in its own right, which helps explain its long-standing, design-led orientation.

Its product line is centered on core two-channel electronics rather than a broad lifestyle range. Monrio is known for power amplifiers, integrated amplifiers, CD players, phono preamps, turntables, and cables, with current catalog references also showing transport and player variants. That makes it a traditional hi-fi maker focused on source components and amplification, not headphones or mainstream wireless audio.

In market terms, Monrio sits in the specialist mid-to-upper-mid hi-fi niche rather than true ultra-high-end. Its pricing and product mix suggest a brand aimed at serious enthusiasts who want distinctive, comparatively boutique Italian engineering, with enough heritage to appeal to buyers who value continuity and collector-friendly legacy models, but without the global profile of the biggest premium names.
