New the P30 sold for $4200. Selling for $825 obo only because of age. It's performance remains outstanding as does its condition.
For sale is my Primare P30 pre-processor that I've owned for years. As you can see from the pictures the P30 is in excellent condition.
Primare has been around for decades and the P30 is a music first approach and unlike many pre/procecessors, excels in musicality.
How musical you might ask? I've owned or auditioned maybe 15 preamps over the past 15 years ranging in price from $800 to $10,000. Including but not limited to the Ayre K3-x ($3.5k), Pass Labs X-1 ($6k) and Pass Labs X2.5 ($4k), Chapter Preface ($10k), Placette Active Linestage (twice and $4k), Conrad Johnson ($2k), Electrocompaniet ($2k), Nuforce ($800), and others.
The P30 was easily more musical than some of the above and matched the best of the above. Since the P30's performance matched or exceeded all of the above and because the P30's egonomics were always superior, I stayed with the P30 over all the others.
I've only used the P30 in 2-channel by-pass mode with the XLR inputs/outputs and hence I have no idea if the 5.1 config works or not so I offer no guarantee there. Hook up a little TV or monitor for initial config. to ensure everything e.g. digital, surround configs, display, etc. is off but the 2-channel mode. Chances are excellent it will meet or exceed a majority of high-end 2-channel preamps available today. It really is that good as a 2-channel preamp.
The Primare P30 comes with Primare's universal C22 which is not quite as intuitive as the original remote but works well.
