Offered is „Spectral DMC 12, DMA 90“ by Spectral Audio as second-hand device from the category „Fully integrated Amplifier“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 7232459137 ends on 26.10.2026 at 11:20 o'clock.
€2,750 is a touch above the €2,621 75th percentile, so this reads as ambitious rather than a steal, but not wildly out of line for a clean example. Compared with the €2,490 median, it’s asking a premium that should be justified by condition, provenance, or extras.
This is a respected preamp for good reason: it’s known for a refined, transparent presentation and very solid build quality, with a reputation that keeps demand steady on the used market. If it’s genuinely well-kept and complete, it can still be a worthwhile buy for someone who wants the sound and the look; at this price, though, buyers should want confirmation of service history, original accessories, and careful cosmetic condition.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Spectral Audio, an American high-end audio brand, traces its origins to 1975 when Richard Fryer founded the company in pursuit of unparalleled musical realism. Initially sparked by Fryer's collaboration with partner Damian Martin to create a reference amplifier for Sound Advice in 1976, the venture evolved into Spectral Incorporated with the launch of the landmark MS-One amplifier in 1977 or 1978. Fryer enlisted the expertise of Dr. Keith O. Johnson, a legendary recording engineer and circuit designer renowned for innovations in analog and digital audio, including early advancements in cassette duplication.
The brand focuses on premium electronics, particularly power amplifiers, preamplifiers, and digital source components like state-of-the-art DACs, designed to integrate seamlessly as a unified system. Spectral eschews mass production, building limited quantities of each product to push performance boundaries without regard for cost constraints, treating development like an independent research lab rather than a conventional business.
Spectral holds a niche boutique position in the high-end market, revered by discerning audiophiles for its timeless engineering and refusal to chase trends, reviews, or aggressive marketing. Operating almost as a well-kept secret for over four decades, it prioritizes sonic purity and system synergy, appealing to serious listeners who value substance over hype.
