Trade Up Program Overview

Times change. Technology advances. And sometimes, the best path forward is to step up.

With PS Audio's Trade Up program, your cherished old gear - no matter the brand or age - becomes the first step on your ladder to something better. We'll give you full retail value for your equipment, as if it were brand new, and apply it directly toward the PS Audio product of your choice.

For example: Trade Up a 2014 Denon AVR-4802R, MSRP $2,125 towards the purchase of a PMG Signature Preamplifier, MSRP of $8,999.

$8,999 retail - $2,125 trade = $6,874

You pay just $6,874 to move up to world-class performance.

There are limit, of course, and those limits depend on the price of the new PS Audio product.

Getting started is simple: look for the green "Trade Up and Save" button on our product pages. Fill in the details, receive your lower price, and step confidently onto the next rung of your audio journey.

And with our 30-day in-home trial, the climb is risk free:

  • Keep your new PS Audio gear if you're thrilled.
  • Or send it back and we'll return your trade.


Your old gear built the foundation. Now let it carry your upward. Trade Up today.

The Fine Print

On the product page, simply press the Trade Up and Save button on selected products and complete the Trade Up information as requested on the Trade Up Form. PS Audio offers full, original retail manufacturer price value back as an immediate credit towards your new purchase.

Adjusted Retail Price

Upon check-out, we will only charge you the Adjusted Retail Price.

The PS Audio Sales Team will review all trade up claims within 48-hours. We will authenticate the original retail manufacturer price value of your trade up, and we will call or email you if we see any discrepancies. Once you receive an order confirmation from us via email, your trade up proposal has been accepted.

We will also email you an RMA with an RMA Number, which you can write on the box or shipping label, which you can use to return your unit. You will have 30-Days to return the trade up.

What we accept in trade

We will accept nearly any HiFi make and model. We ask for component-level product in trade. What’s component-level mean? Component-level refers to any high-quality stereo product such as a preamplifier, power amplifier, DAC, phono stage, loudspeaker pair, turntable, headphones, or CD transport. We require that all trade up gear is functioning. Additionally, all trade up gear must have respectable cosmetic condition.

What we do not accept in trade

We do not accept broken or non-functioning product. We do not accept most accessories, phono cartridges, power cables, or interconnects. Exceptions can be made based on the value of the accessory or cable. Go ahead and enter your trade up for quote, and the PS Audio Sales Team will review your proposal. We work hard to accept every trade we can.

Can I trade up multiple items?

Heck yeah! You can trade in multiple items for value back up to but not exceeding the credit-cap. Just click “Add Another…” at the bottom of the Trade Up Form.
