Offered is „OVATION“ by clearaudio as second-hand device from the category „Record Player Drive“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 3621523775 ends on 16.12.2026 at 08:48 o'clock.
The supplied market data puts a used Clearaudio Ovation at a median of €8,151, with the lower quartile at €8,087. At €3,379, this example is dramatically below even the 25th percentile—a genuine bargain if the listing is complete and functional.
The Ovation is a serious high-end deck: its heavily damped Panzerholz/aluminium chassis, 40 mm POM platter, ceramic magnetic bearing and optical speed control are designed for excellent resonance control and pitch stability. It also offers 33⅓, 45 and 78 rpm operation. At this price, check that the motor, OSC speed control, CMB bearing, platter and power supply are all present and working, and confirm whether a tonearm, dust cover and accessories are included; even allowing for omissions, the asking price leaves substantial value.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Clearaudio, a pinnacle of German analog engineering, traces its roots to 1978 in Erlangen, when founder Peter Suchy patented the company's inaugural moving-coil cartridge. 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." Over 45 years, Clearaudio has evolved from humble beginnings into a global benchmark for vinyl playback, crafting products in its high-tech facility amid the scientific hub of Friedrich-Alexander University.
The brand's portfolio centers on high-end turntables, renowned for their transparent acrylic components, parallel-tracking tonearms, and precision mechanics that deliver unparalleled rotational stability. Complementing these are meticulously engineered moving-coil cartridges, phonostages, and tonearms, with extensions into analog accessories and even reissued Deutsche Grammophon classical recordings. 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.
Positioned firmly in the high-end audiophile market, Clearaudio commands respect among discerning vinyl enthusiasts worldwide, serving over 80 countries with turntables that redefine standards. Its boutique reputation stems from in-house innovation and flawless German craftsmanship, appealing to collectors and serious listeners who demand reference-level performance without compromise.
