Offered is „The Groove + SRX“ by Tom Evans as second-hand device from the category „Phono Amplifier“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 6780974255 ends on 12.12.2026 at 09:12 o'clock.
The Groove has long been one of Tom Evans’ respected specialist phono stages, valued for its very low noise, transparency, and unusually convincing dynamics. At €2,750, this example is clearly above the €1,586 median and just below the €2,844 75th-percentile asking price, so it reads as a premium but still defensible price rather than an obvious bargain.
The appeal is a clean, musically communicative presentation with excellent resolution, solid bass authority, and the ability to let fine vinyl detail emerge without glare or grain. That makes it a serious anchor for a revealing moving-coil setup, particularly if its gain and loading are correctly matched to the cartridge. At this money, verify the exact Groove version, included power supply, gain specification, and operational condition; otherwise, the pricing leaves relatively little room for an expensive surprise.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
