Angeboten wird „Reed 2G arm“ von Reed Audio als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Tonarm“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 664896462 endet am 10.10.2026 um 18:09 Uhr.
Compared with the obvious alternative at this money—a mainstream tonearm or a newer entry-level setup—this looks like a strong buy rather than a stretch. At €2,200, it sits below the €2,330 25th percentile and under the €2,504 median for recent comparable listings, so it reads as a real bargain in the current EUR market.
That makes it especially interesting for a buyer who wants a serious arm with a good reputation for precision, low-friction tracking, and easy tuning on a high-end turntable. The main upside here is value: if the bearing action is smooth, the geometry parts are complete, and the finish is genuinely good, this is the kind of used piece that lets you step into a higher tier without paying the usual premium.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Reed emerged from Lithuania's burgeoning hi-fi scene, rooted in the ingenuity of radio engineer Vidmantas Triukas. With experience in hi-fi since 1985 and expertise in acoustic engineering—including patented inventions in ultrasound and noise transmission—he built an early audio system featuring a turntable, speakers, and amplifier in 1987. Showcased at the USSR's premier technical exhibition in Moscow, it marked the start of his lifelong passion. After a detour into other ventures post-1990s, Triukas revived his audio pursuits in 2007, launching Reed as a boutique operation with just five employees dedicated to analog excellence.
The brand specializes in precision tonearms and turntables, blending engineering rigor with aesthetic flair. Signature models like the 1H, 2G, and 3P radial tonearms come in lengths from 9.5 to 12.5 inches, often with wooden arm wands crafted from premium materials such as carbon fiber and stainless steel. These components prioritize minimal distortion, superior tracking, and lightweight rigidity, elevating vinyl playback without venturing into amplifiers, speakers, or digital gear.
Reed holds a niche position in the high-end market, revered by audiophiles for handcrafted quality that fuses scientific precision—drawn from Triukas's "rocket science" background—with artistic design. Distributed through specialists like Absolute Sounds in the UK, it appeals to discerning vinyl enthusiasts seeking transformative upgrades over mass-market options, earning praise for durability, sound purity, and visual allure.
