This is a buyer's market at €90: the price sits just below the recent comparable median of €92 and below the €91 25th percentile, making it a strong deal for an excellent example rather than merely fair value. Comparable asking prices reach €122, so there is clear room before this becomes expensive.
The Miraphon 22H is a particularly appealing vintage idler-drive: its heavy 2.3 kg platter, quiet Papst synchronous motor, capable tonearm, and solid speed performance give it real enthusiast credibility. It also offers 16, 33, 45, and 78 rpm operation, making it unusually versatile. At €90, a clean, working sample is worth pursuing; simply confirm that the automatic return, all speeds, idler engagement, and cartridge/stylus are functioning as described.

Elac, a cornerstone of German audio engineering, traces its origins to September 1, 1926, when Electroacustic GmbH was founded in Kiel by Dr. Heinrich Hecht, Dr. Wilhelm Rudolph, and Gerhard Schmidt. Initially focused on sonar technology and underwater acoustics for maritime applications, the company peaked at 5,000 employees during World War II, supplying the Kriegsmarine. Postwar restrictions pivoted it toward consumer goods like sewing machines and radios, while distributing brands such as Sony, Fisher, and Nakamichi in Germany. By 1978, it divested its nautical division to concentrate on hi-fi, with Austrian CEO Wolfgang John taking the helm in 1981 to steer its modern trajectory.
Elac excels primarily in loudspeakers, renowned for innovations like the 1985 4Pi omnidirectional tweeter and the JET folded-ribbon tweeter, which deliver exceptional dispersion and clarity. Its portfolio spans high-end floorstanders, bookshelves, and compact systems across series like Vela, Solano, and Debut, alongside turntables such as the Miracord lineup, subwoofers, and electronics including amplifiers and DACs. This broad yet speaker-centric range caters to discerning setups from entry-level to reference-grade.
Positioned as a high-end mainstay with mid-tier accessibility, Elac commands respect among audiophiles for its precise German engineering, balancing value and performance without chasing boutique exclusivity. Under John's enduring leadership, it sustains a reputation for dynamic, transparent sound that rivals elite competitors, appealing to knowledgeable buyers seeking timeless quality over fleeting trends.
