Angeboten wird „Debut Reference 10 - Demogerät“ von Pro-Ject als Ausstellungsstück aus der Kategorie „Plattenspieler komplett“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 1603110560 endet am 29.09.2026 um 09:18 Uhr.
€799 is ambitious versus the current used market: it sits well above the €619 75th percentile and a long way over the €535 median, so I’d only pay that if the package is unusually complete or the deck is effectively like-new. With only four recent comparables, the signal is still useful: this is not a bargain-priced listing.
That said, the deck is well-regarded for giving you a serious, audiophile-leaning platform without the usual entry-level compromises, so the appeal is real if the condition is truly good and it includes the right accessories. The upside here is that a clean example can save you the hassle of upgrading immediately; just make sure the dust cover, counterweight, platter, and all setup parts are present, because at this price you want a ready-to-run turntable, not a project.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Pro-Ject Audio Systems traces its roots to 1991 in Austria's Weinviertel region, north of Vienna, where founder Heinz Lichtenegger launched the brand amid the CD revolution. Kicked out of music school as a youth, Lichtenegger channeled his passion for analog sound into affordable, high-quality turntables at a time when vinyl seemed obsolete. His debut Pro-Ject 1, hand-assembled in the Czech Republic, earned rave reviews as a top high-end device, igniting a success story that relocated headquarters to Vienna before returning to Mistelbach in Lower Austria.
The brand excels in turntables, establishing itself as the world's largest and leading producer in that category, while expanding into a full spectrum of hi-fi components since 2000. Offerings include amplifiers, DACs, headphone amps, speakers, cables, and phono stages, all emphasizing essential sound reproduction with durable materials and minimalist design. Manufacturing remains European—primarily in Czechia, Slovakia, and Germany—prioritizing sustainability through local sourcing, short transport, and products built for longevity.
Pro-Ject holds a commanding niche as the go-to for mid-tier audiophiles seeking boutique European craftsmanship without extravagant pricing. Distributed in over 80 countries, it appeals to vinyl revivalists and discerning buyers who value analog purity, innovation, and value-driven performance over flashy excess, cementing its reputation as a pioneer in accessible high-fidelity.
