Ich biete wegen Haushaltsauflösung diesen Plattenspieler an Selbstabholer an. Da wir keine Fachpersonen sind, sollte sich über die Funktion beim anschauen ein eigenes Bild gemacht werden. Die Haube hat deutliche Kratzer.
This €125 asking price is ambitious for a used Audio-Technica AT95E, sitting well above the typical used market range of €25–€45 in EUR. New units retail around €45–€50 in EUR, and secondhand examples frequently appear for €25–€35 in EUR, making this listing roughly three times the median used price. Unless the cartridge includes rare accessories or is in pristine original-owner condition with verified stylus integrity, this is an overpriced ask that buyers should approach cautiously.
The AT95E remains a beloved entry-level moving magnet cartridge praised for its clear, dynamic sound and elliptical diamond stylus, offering excellent value in its price class. It handles medium-mass arms well and delivers reliable performance for vinyl beginners. However, at this elevated price, the lack of included stylus replacement (ATN-95E costs €21–€25 in EUR) and the cartridge’s discontinued status (replaced by the AT-VM95E) are meaningful caveats. For a fair deal, aim closer to €30–€40 in EUR.

Founded in 1962 in Tokyo's Shinjuku district by Hideo Matsushita, Audio-Technica began as a phonograph cartridge specialist, launching the innovative AT-1 moving-magnet model with a diamond-tipped cantilever that revolutionized affordable high-fidelity playback. Starting with just three employees in a rented house and one million yen in capital, the company quickly expanded, supplying cartridges to Japanese audio manufacturers and relocating as demand surged. This heritage of precision engineering and democratic access to superior sound defines its enduring Japanese craftsmanship.
Audio-Technica has broadened far beyond cartridges into a comprehensive lineup of hi-fi essentials, excelling in headphones, professional microphones, turntables, and phonographic styli. While not heavily focused on amplifiers, speakers, or DACs, it produces elite receivers, wireless systems, and cables, alongside OEM transducers and sensors for pro audio. Its turntables and headphones span entry-level to audiophile grades, with Bluetooth and noise-cancelling models bridging consumer and studio needs.
Renowned for delivering exceptional value through durable, innovative design, Audio-Technica occupies a solid mid-tier position in the hi-fi market, prized by enthusiasts for reliability without extravagant pricing. It garners consistent awards for performance and builds trust via Olympic-grade microphones and global subsidiaries, appealing to discerning buyers seeking proven engineering over boutique exclusivity.
