Voor onze klant verkopen wij een nieuwe i/o one red element. Deze wordt geleverd nieuw in de doos en verzegeld. Onze klant heeft besloten de overstap te maken naar een gold element. De rode audio note
Listed as new, this is a serious but defensible ask rather than an obvious bargain. At EUR 4,300 it sits just below the EUR 4,451 75th-percentile mark from 48 comparable listings, but well above the EUR 2,318 median. That makes it a premium-priced example; the new, unused condition needs to be genuine and well documented to justify paying near the top of the market.
The IO I Red is a specialist low-output moving-coil cartridge prized for unusually open, spacious, tonally vivid sound, with strong dynamics and fine low-level detail. Its 0.04 mV output demands a suitable step-up transformer and a rigid, compatible tonearm, so this is worthwhile chiefly for a buyer already equipped for it. Confirm the stylus has never been mounted, inspect the cantilever and generator pins, and establish whether the original box, paperwork, and warranty are included.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Audio Note (UK) traces its roots to 1991, when Peter Qvortrup, a seasoned valve amplifier designer with prior experience at Audio Innovations, founded the company in Sussex, England. Collaborating initially with Hiroyasu Kondo, Qvortrup launched the OTO PP integrated amplifier that year—a modular valve design still in production today, hand-built in their Partridge Green factory. This enduring debut underscores the brand's commitment to timeless engineering over fleeting trends.
The company specializes in complete, in-house valve-based audio systems, crafting everything from turntable cartridges and tonearms to preamplifiers, power amplifiers, DACs, speakers, and cables. Their modular philosophy permeates the lineup, allowing tailored configurations while prioritizing premium components like custom-wound transformers and silver wiring for purest signal paths.
Positioned as Europe's largest and most prestigious maker of ultra-performance valve hi-fi, Audio Note (UK) commands the high-end niche, appealing to discerning audiophiles seeking musical authenticity over mass-market convenience. With a global distribution network and a reputation for longevity, it stands as a boutique benchmark for those investing in heirloom-grade sound reproduction.
