Our Thoughts RADAR AI

At A$5,450, this sits just under the A$5,453 25th percentile and well below the A$5,991 median, so it reads as a strong buy / near-bargain in the current AUD market. It is not just “fair”; by your own comparables, it’s priced at the low end of recent asking activity.

That makes it appealing for the usual reasons people chase this preamp: PS Audio’s BHK line is well regarded for a smooth, spacious presentation with real authority and grip, and it has enough refinement to anchor a serious system without sounding sterile. If the unit is clean, properly serviced, and comes with the remote and any original extras, this is the kind of listing that’s worth moving on quickly rather than haggling over.

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

About PS Audio

PS Audio, a pioneering American hi-fi brand, traces its roots to 1973 when co-founder Paul McGowan launched the company in California alongside Stan Warren. Emerging from the analog golden age, it debuted with a standalone phono preamplifier, reflecting McGowan's early passion for vinyl playback honed through radio station connections and encounters with audio enthusiasts. The brand quickly evolved, embracing digital audio in the 1980s by releasing one of the first high-end CD players, the PS Audio CD-1, soon after Philips and Sony introduced the format.

Today, PS Audio specializes in premium electronics, including power amplifiers, preamplifiers, digital-to-analog converters (DACs), and integrated amplifiers, with a hallmark focus on power conditioning via innovative AC regenerators known as Power Plants. These devices, born from Stan Warren's mid-1980s discovery that oversized transformers enhance audio performance, remain a cornerstone. The lineup also encompasses digital lenses for refining streaming and disc playback, alongside select analog components, though it eschews speakers, headphones, turntables, or cables.

Positioned firmly in the high-end market, PS Audio commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its bold engineering and unwavering pursuit of musical purity. Celebrating 50 years in 2023, it occupies a niche as an innovator rather than a mass-market player, appealing to buyers who prioritize transformative power delivery and digital refinement in sophisticated systems.
