Offered is „Ovation“ by clearaudio as exhibit from the category „Record Player complete“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 6810728248 ends on 22.12.2026 at 16:41 o'clock.
Are you looking for a serious, long-term vinyl front end? At €7,990, this Ovation is a strong deal: it sits below the €8,077 25th-percentile mark and under the €8,162 median from 24 comparable listings. Assuming the condition description is accurate and the price includes the expected hardware, it is priced like a genuine buying opportunity rather than merely fairly.
The Ovation earns that appeal with a resonance-controlled Panzerholz-and-aluminium chassis, excellent speed regulation via Clearaudio’s optical OSC system, and the low-friction CMB ceramic-magnetic bearing. Its substantial POM platter and selectable 33⅓, 45, and 78 rpm operation make it both refined and practical. The interchangeable armboard is useful if you already own—or later want to change to—a compatible tonearm. Check that the correct armboard, platter, belt, power supply, and dust cover are included, but there is no obvious price-related reason to hesitate.
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.
