Offered is „The Groove 20th“ by Tom Evans as second-hand device from the category „Phono Amplifier“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 1706295682 ends on 20.10.2026 at 06:04 o'clock.
Good condition at €1,350 puts it just under the €1,388 median and well above the €763 25th percentile, so this reads as fair-to-slightly-strong rather than a bargain. It is not cheap enough to call a steal, but it is also not an ambitious ask; for a well-sorted example, it sits in the normal market band.
That makes sense for a Tom Evans phono stage: these are respected for very low-noise, highly resolved playback and for getting the timing and texture right without sounding clinical. If the unit is clean, fully working, and ideally includes the original PSU and any box/manuals, it is a solid buy at this level; the main thing to verify is that the power supply and sockets are healthy, since replacement parts and service history matter more than cosmetics here.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
