Offered is „Universal 9 Zoll mit VTA“ by clearaudio as second-hand device from the category „Tone Arm“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 5231236099 ends on 28.11.2026 at 09:53 o'clock.
At €2,750, this sits well below the €6,067 median and even under the €2,045–€11,298 recent range midpoint, so it reads as a strong buy rather than a merely fair one. For a serious tonearm at this price, the obvious alternative is usually a much more modest arm; this is squarely in “upgrade-level” territory and looks attractively priced for a clean used example.
The Universal is one of Clearaudio’s better-regarded arms: a carbon-fiber, highly adjustable design with excellent bearing quality and VTA-on-the-fly convenience, which makes it flexible with a wide range of cartridges and setups. If the arm is complete and the VTA parts move smoothly, this is the kind of listing that rewards a quick decision. The main thing to verify is that all mounting hardware and the VTA lifter function properly, since that’s where value really lives on a used arm like this.

This family-owned enterprise, now steered by Peter's children—Patrick, Veronica, and Robert Suchy—has upheld a relentless pursuit of perfection, encapsulated in its philosophy: "Take the best and make it better, only then is it just good enough."

While not venturing deeply into digital realms or speakers, Clearaudio's focus remains unyieldingly analog, prioritizing symbiotic magnetic, mechanical, and electrical symmetry for lifelike sound reproduction.
