Sold or Listed Prices

13 market transactions via web search — not HiFi Registry sales.

Understanding the market

Half of recorded transactions fall between $1,495 and $2,795. The full range runs 3.8× from lowest to highest, which is normal for used equipment where condition, included accessories, and service history vary between units.

Over the last twelve months this model averaged $1,226 across 5 recorded sales, 52% lower than the preceding twelve months.

What buyers should know

Confirm the phono stage and headphone output work if fitted, as these are often untested by sellers. On units with digital inputs, check whether the DAC section is still supported and what sample rates it accepts.

This range reflects 13 recorded sales, compiled from publicly listed and completed sales elsewhere on the used market, not from HiFi Registry transactions. That is a large enough sample to price against with reasonable confidence, though condition and provenance still move individual units.
