The timing matters a bit here because this is an established, no-longer-new phono stage, so a used listing should be priced on value rather than novelty. At €2,750, it sits essentially at the 75th percentile of your comparables and well above the €1,373 median, so this is ambitious rather than a bargain.
That said, the GROOVE has a strong reputation for quiet, incisive phono replay with excellent timing and a very “sorted” musical presentation, which is why buyers still chase it. If this unit is clean, original, and from a careful owner, the upside is buying a well-regarded design that can still compete sonically with many newer stages. At this level, I’d want confidence on age, service history, and included power supply/accessories, but not because the product is risky so much as because the price leaves less room for surprises.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
