Offered is „AYON Spheris“ by Ayon Audio as second-hand device from the category „Tube-Preamp“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 1180114668 ends on 24.10.2026 at 06:11 o'clock.
This €7,990 asking price for the original Ayon Audio Spheris preamplifier is a genuine bargain, sitting well below the typical used market for this model. With the original retail price at €19,990 and the Spheris now a legacy design replaced by the Spheris II and III, used listings rarely dip below €10,000; this price is roughly 40% off that threshold and represents a strong deal for a complete, original-owner unit.
The Spheris remains highly regarded for its lush, full-bodied tube sound with exceptional smoothness and dynamic range in pure Class A triode operation, delivering the romantic Ayon signature that newer models still emulate. Its value is amplified by being a complete, signs-of-usage but fully functional unit with all original accessories included, making it an excellent entry into high-end tube preamps at a price that rewards timing and rarity. For a fellow enthusiast, this is a clear buying opportunity to own a reference-grade linestage at a fraction of its former cost.

Ayon Audio traces its roots to Austria, where it emerged four decades ago as VAIC before evolving into Ayon Audio in 2001 under the leadership of founder Gerhard Hirt. This transition marked a pivotal shift toward innovative vacuum tube audio design, building on Hirt's enduring ownership of the VAIC trademark and his passion for sonic purity.
The brand specializes in a comprehensive lineup of vacuum tube components, including power amplifiers, preamplifiers, headphone amplifiers, CD players, DACs, and streamers. Ayon's signature "Voicing"—its proprietary DNA—infuses every product with a distinctive soundstage renowned for depth, realism, and emotional engagement, setting new benchmarks in pure Class A circuit topologies.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Ayon commands global respect with distributors in over 55 countries and a trophy cabinet brimming from "Best Sound" and "Cost No Object" accolades at major audio shows. Austrian-engineered and award-winning, it appeals to discerning audiophiles seeking boutique excellence in tube amplification, far beyond mid-tier compromises.
