Sold or Listed Prices

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

Understanding the market

Half of recorded transactions fall between $6,500 and $7,750. The full range runs 2.5× from lowest to highest, which is normal for used equipment where condition, included accessories, and service history vary between units.

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 8 recorded sales, compiled from publicly listed and completed sales elsewhere on the used market, not from HiFi Registry transactions. That is enough to establish a working range, but not enough to be precise — treat it as a guide rather than an appraisal.
