Offered is „Phono Box S3 B Schwarz“ by Pro-Ject as new device from the category „Pre-Amplifier / Processor“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 1859054567 ends on 25.10.2026 at 12:47 o'clock.
With 36 recent comparable EUR listings, the €399 ask sits well below the €515 median and just above the €242 25th percentile, so this reads as a solidly attractive buy rather than a stretch. It is not a once-in-a-blue-moon bargain, but it is clearly on the friendly side of market value for this category.
That makes sense for a respected Pro-Ject phono stage: compact, quiet, and a genuinely useful upgrade for moving-magnet or moving-coil systems depending on setup. If it’s clean, fully working, and includes the original power supply, this is the kind of practical hi-fi buy that tends to deliver more performance than the price suggests.

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.
