Should you jump on this, or is €900 too much for the used market? Against your own comps, it’s clearly ambitious: the asking price sits well above the €703 75th percentile and far above the €506 median, so this is not a bargain-priced listing.
That said, this line is well regarded as a fully balanced, Class A preamp with a serious, no-frills build and a reputation for strong drive, smoothness, and scale. If it’s genuinely clean, complete, and from careful ownership, the upside is in getting a flagship-tier piece without hunting forever; if not, I’d want stronger proof of condition and included accessories before paying a premium.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

These products incorporate advanced features like regenerative power supplies, positioning Audio-gd as a purveyor of digital-to-analog converters and amplification solutions rather than speakers, turntables, or headphones.
