Offered is „Pro-ject Phono Box RS Silver“ by Project-Audiophile as new device from the category „Phono Amplifier“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 9746659614 ends on 11.12.2026 at 11:37 o'clock.
A fair price, sitting almost exactly on the typical used-market median.
At €495, it is only €4 above the €491 median, comfortably within the recent €472–€646 range—not a bargain, but certainly not ambitious. The Phono Box RS remains a particularly capable phono stage: fully balanced dual-mono circuitry, RCA and XLR connectivity, MM/MC support, selectable RIAA or DECCA equalisation, and unusually useful continuously variable loading from 10 to 1,200 ohms. That makes it an excellent partner for experimenting with cartridges, especially low-output MCs. Confirm that the external power supply, original adapters, and all controls work properly; with those present and the unit clean, €495 is a sound buy rather than a price to haggle aggressively.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
