Offered is „HD Amp-1 Vollverstärker und D/A Wandler- Silber“ by Marantz as new device from the category „Transistor-Fullamp“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 7336593382 ends on 20.11.2026 at 10:32 o'clock.
At €948 new, this asks for just under half that on the used market, which is not cheap, but it is still well above the recent used median of €479 and even the 75th percentile of €636. That makes it an ambitious asking price for a standard used piece, unless the condition, provenance, or included extras are unusually strong.
The HD-AMP1 has a good reputation for clean, refined sound and a genuinely compact footprint, so it appeals to buyers who want an elegant all-in-one without clutter. It’s worth considering if it’s exceptionally tidy, from an original owner, and complete with remote, box, and paperwork; otherwise, a buyer has plenty of room to wait for a better-value example closer to the middle of the market.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Marantz originated in the United States, founded in 1953 by Saul Bernard Marantz, a music enthusiast and amateur musician born in Brooklyn in 1911. Dissatisfied with the audio equipment of the era, he crafted the groundbreaking Audio Consolette preamplifier in 1952 from his New York home, selling the first 100 units rapidly and prompting the formal establishment of the company in Woodside, Queens. Though production later shifted to Japan in partnership with manufacturers like Standard Radio in 1966, and the brand evolved through ownership changes including Superscope and eventual integration into larger groups, its heritage remains rooted in American ingenuity and a relentless pursuit of musical fidelity.
The brand excels in high-end audio components, particularly amplifiers, preamplifiers, and integrated systems that defined its golden era. Iconic models like the Model 7 preamplifier (1958), Model 9 power amplifier (1960), and Model 10B tuner (1964) set benchmarks for performance, while later offerings expanded to tuners, receivers, and CD players. Marantz briefly ventured into speakers under designer Ed May in the 1970s but focused primarily on electronics rather than turntables, headphones, DACs, or cables, emphasizing separates renowned for their "Most Musical Sound."
Marantz commands a premium position in the hi-fi market, revered as a high-end pioneer that shaped the audiophile landscape through the 1970s zenith. Today, it blends vintage allure with modern elegance, appealing to discerning buyers who value durability, innovation, and warm, detailed sound signatures over mass-market accessibility.
