Offered is „Violectric PPA V790 High End Phonovorverstärker Phonostage symmetrisch“ by Violectric 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 7218595927 ends on 15.10.2026 at 07:24 o'clock.
This listing is priced in a seller’s market for the Violectric PPA V790, but €3,649 is still a strong buy compared to the typical used market. The asking price sits just below the new retail price of €3,990 and is well under the 75th percentile of €1,784 for used comparables—wait, that can’t be right. Rechecking: the median for 22 recent EUR used listings is €1,382, with the 75th at €1,784. So €3,649 is actually more than double the 75th percentile, making this ambitiously overpriced for a used unit, not a bargain.
The PPA V790 is a top-tier, symmetrical MM/MC phonostage praised for its six configurable inputs, ultra-low noise (143 dB signal-to-noise at 66 dB gain), and precise RIAA/columbia corrections. It’s built by Violectric, a brand trusted for professional-grade performance in high-end analog setups. However, at €3,649—nearly new retail—this only becomes a worthwhile buy if it’s in original-owner condition with full accessories and no signs of age or wear. Without those, it’s hard to justify over the €1,784 ceiling of strong used deals.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Violectric emerged in 2009 as a hi-fi sub-brand of Lake People, the esteemed German pro-audio manufacturer founded in 1986 near Lake Constance. Headed by chief engineer Fried Reim, who oversees development and production in Constance, Violectric adapts Lake People's robust professional circuitry for discerning home listeners, prioritizing engineering substance over hype.
The brand specializes in headphone amplifiers, such as the seminal V200 and newer models like the HPA V324, alongside high-quality DACs including the V800 and V850. Its lineup extends to phono stages like the PPA V630 and preamps such as the PPA V600, with the ultra-premium Niimbus series—exemplified by the US5—pushing boundaries in amplification. Absent are speakers, turntables, or cables; Violectric hones in on source-to-headphone electronics.
Positioned firmly in the high-end hi-fi market, Violectric commands respect among pragmatic audiophiles for its "tools, not toys" ethos—delivering uncompromised build quality, timeless design, and sonic precision at prices from around £700 to over £3,000. Free of esoteric claims, it appeals to buyers seeking pro-grade performance in elegant, enduring packages.
