Offered is „EA-1200 phono stage“ by Phasemation 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 5332182180 ends on 27.10.2026 at 06:37 o'clock.
The good condition and €7,850 asking price make this look like a strong buy versus your local benchmark: it sits well below the €7,609 25th percentile?—actually slightly above it, but still meaningfully under the €9,367 median and far under the €10,960 75th percentile. For a serious phono stage, that reads as a buyer-friendly price rather than an ambitious ask.
What makes it attractive is that this is the kind of component people buy for long-term keepers: a well-regarded phono stage can be a real system anchor if the noise floor is low and the match with your cartridge is right. In good condition, the main upside is simply getting into a high-end piece below typical market midpoint; I’d still check for original PSU/accessories and any service history, since those matter more than cosmetics on this type of gear.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Phasemation traces its roots to 1970, when Kyodo Denshi Systems was founded in Yokohama, Japan, as a precision electronic measurement instrument company. Initially focused on institutional tools like step-up transformers and DACs in the 1990s, it pivoted to high-end audio under the Phase Tech brand, producing cartridges, CD transports, and tube phonostages. In 2010, the company rebranded as Phasemation to expand globally, leveraging decades of engineering expertise to prioritize phase accuracy for lifelike sound reproduction.
The brand specializes in analog-centric high-end components, renowned for its moving coil phono cartridges and exceptional phonostages, such as the modular six-box EA-2000, the two-box EA-550, and the single-chassis EA-320. Its lineup also includes tube amplifiers, preamplifiers, and step-up transformers, all designed to deliver a balanced sound that blends warmth with hyper-detailed resolution, excelling on jazz, classical, acoustic, and vocal tracks.
Phasemation holds a prestigious niche in the high-end market as one of Japan's fastest-growing hi-fi brands, celebrated for meticulous craftsmanship and expansive soundstaging that evokes live performance emotion. Positioned as a boutique leader for discerning vinyl enthusiasts, it commands worldwide acclaim among audiophiles seeking realism over mere technical prowess.
