This is a buyer’s market for the M6 Phono at this asking price, and £7,487 looks fair-to-strong rather than ambitious. Recent second-hand examples in Europe cluster around £6,700-£7,000 after converting the listed €7,950-€8,100 range into GBP, while new-listing references put the M6 at a much higher tier, so this sits close to the lower end of the used window. That makes it a credible ask for a serious, high-end phono preamp, not a stretch.
What keeps it attractive is the core Audio Note appeal: the M6 is prized for big tonal scale, liquidity, and that relaxed-but-resolving presentation that suits vinyl systems built around musical flow rather than hi-fi pyrotechnics. If the unit is clean, complete, and serviced, the value is in buying into a genuinely top-tier platform at a price that leaves room versus new. At this level, I’d mainly want confirmation of original remote, packaging, and any service history.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Audio Note (UK) traces its roots to 1991, when Peter Qvortrup, a seasoned valve amplifier designer with prior experience at Audio Innovations, founded the company in Sussex, England. Collaborating initially with Hiroyasu Kondo, Qvortrup launched the OTO PP integrated amplifier that year—a modular valve design still in production today, hand-built in their Partridge Green factory. This enduring debut underscores the brand's commitment to timeless engineering over fleeting trends.
The company specializes in complete, in-house valve-based audio systems, crafting everything from turntable cartridges and tonearms to preamplifiers, power amplifiers, DACs, speakers, and cables. Their modular philosophy permeates the lineup, allowing tailored configurations while prioritizing premium components like custom-wound transformers and silver wiring for purest signal paths.
Positioned as Europe's largest and most prestigious maker of ultra-performance valve hi-fi, Audio Note (UK) commands the high-end niche, appealing to discerning audiophiles seeking musical authenticity over mass-market convenience. With a global distribution network and a reputation for longevity, it stands as a boutique benchmark for those investing in heirloom-grade sound reproduction.
