Our Thoughts RADAR AI

A Meishu Line is a serious 300B integrated, so this is not a commodity amp; the price needs to be judged against its true high-end positioning. At £4,287, it looks fair to strong for the used market rather than cheap, because new Meishu variants sit far higher, with current or recent new pricing around £13,000 to £15,500 depending on version and trim.

What you’re buying is the classic Audio Note appeal: single-ended, pure Class A, about 8 watts per channel, and a presentation that tends to shine with efficient speakers, tone, texture, and scale rather than brute force. If the listing is clean, fully working, and preferably includes original boxes and healthy 300B tubes, that adds real value. The main buyer check is straightforward: confirm service history, tube hours, and that your speakers are a proper match, because low-power 300B amps can sound magical only in the right system.

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

About Audio Note

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.
