Offered is „PRE G2“ by AudioNET as second-hand device from the category „Transistor-Preamp“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 8915192730 ends on 16.10.2026 at 11:46 o'clock.
Good condition makes €9,500 look a touch ambitious rather than a slam-dunk, because the PRE G2 has shown up used in the roughly €5,500–€7,200 zone, with older forum examples around €4,900–€7,900 depending on version and condition. That puts this asking price above the usual used-market band, though not absurdly far beyond it for a clean, well-kept example.
What keeps it interesting is that the PRE G2 is a genuinely top-tier line stage: hugely resolving, quiet, and built like a tank, with the kind of drive and control that still wins over serious listeners. If this one is complete, unmodified, and ideally includes the remote and original packaging, it remains a desirable buy for someone chasing a reference-class analog preamp; just make sure the premium is justified by provenance and service history.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Audionet emerged in 1994 from the innovative labs of Ruhr University in Bochum, Germany, where founder Thomas Gessler and fellow electronics researchers developed cutting-edge sensor and measurement amplifiers. Born from a decade of work on low-noise, high-resolution analog circuits for scientific applications, the company—initially Idektron & Co.—launched its first sensation, the Audionet preamplifier, translating to "sound network." All products are designed and handcrafted in Germany, with roots later shifting to Berlin, embodying a rigorous scientific heritage that prioritizes precision engineering over convention.
The brand excels in high-end solid-state electronics, spanning preamplifiers, power amplifiers, monoblocks, integrated amps like the Humboldt, phono stages, CD/DVD players, network components, and external power supplies. Signature technologies include the Ultra-Linear Amplifier (ULA), originally engineered for medical use, ensuring ultra-pure signal paths via custom miniaturized components. Industrial design by Hartmut Esslinger—creator of the Apple IIc—elevates models like the Scientist Series Stern linestage and Heisenberg monoblocks, blending functionality with award-winning aesthetics.
Audionet commands reverence in the ultra-high-end market as a reference-level boutique, setting benchmarks for transparency, power, and stability that audiophiles worldwide anticipate as events. Handmade in small batches, its electronics deliver uncompromised performance for discerning systems, from stereo purists to advanced home theaters, backed by a global reputation for pushing hi-fi boundaries with scientific rigor.
