Angeboten wird „pmdv avp+pmdt dvd laufwerk“ von Proceed als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Surround-Vorverstärker (Trans)“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 5237279315 endet am 18.09.2026 um 19:17 Uhr.
The €800 asking price for the used Proceed PMDT is a strong bargain, sitting well below the typical used market for high-end Madrigal/Proceed transports, which often range from €1,500 to €3,000 for comparable modular units like the PDT3. While the PMDT originally carried a $5,995 price tag as a DVD-Video transport and video processor, its current listing at €800 represents exceptional value for a piece of Madrigal engineering that rarely appears at this level on the used market.
This player is worthwhile because it embodies the modular, audiophile-grade design Madrigal pioneered, offering exceptional transport stability and video processing in a single chassis that appeals to collectors and serious listeners. As a rare, original-owner unit in good condition, it offers meaningful upside for enthusiasts seeking a high-performance transport with video capabilities at a fraction of its heritage value, making this a clear buying opportunity rather than a risky gamble.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
# Proceed
Proceed was established in 1989 by Madrigal Audio Laboratories as a companion brand to the prestigious Mark Levinson line. Founded by Sanford Berlin, who acquired Mark Levinson in 1984, Madrigal created Proceed as a vehicle for introducing cutting-edge high-end audio technologies at a relatively more accessible price point. The brand operated under the Harman International umbrella and was headquartered in Middletown, Connecticut, drawing on decades of expertise in esoteric audio design and engineering.
Proceed built its reputation across multiple product categories, including CD players, digital transports, DACs, surround-sound processors, and power amplifiers. Early Proceed products—such as the PCD CD player, PDT transport, and PDP DAC—featured distinctive upright industrial design and high-quality component selection. The brand later expanded into multichannel amplification and AV processors, including the acclaimed AVP2+6, CVP2, HPA2, and HPA3 models, which became some of the company's most successful offerings.
Positioned firmly in the high-end audio market, Proceed earned respect among serious audiophiles for build quality, sonic performance, and innovative circuit design. The brand was discontinued in 2003, with its best-performing products subsequently rebranded under the Mark Levinson name. Today, Proceed equipment remains sought after in the vintage and used high-end market, valued for its natural, non-fatiguing sound character and robust engineering that has proven durable across decades.
