Offered is „Elixier MK1“ by Heed as exhibit from the category „Transistor-Fullamp“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 4957186458 ends on 11.11.2026 at 06:11 o'clock.
Compared with the obvious alternative at this price point, this lands below the median and comfortably inside the normal used range, so €998 looks fair-to-good rather than aggressive. It sits above the 25th percentile of €703 and below the median of €1,188, which makes it a sensible buy if you want the model without waiting for a bargain-level listing.
What makes it worth a look is the usual Heed appeal: a compact, well-liked piece of kit with a reputation for musical, relaxed presentation and strong synergy in a resolving system. In good condition, the main upside is simply getting into a respected piece without paying mid-market money; if it’s been well cared for and includes the original PSU/accessories, that strengthens the case further.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Heed Audio emerged from the passion of Hungarian hi-fi enthusiast Zsolt Huszti, who during the Iron Curtain era imported and tinkered with British audio gear like Ion Systems and Nytech designs. Founded in 1993 in Budapest, the brand debuted with the Obelisk integrated amplifier, its circuitry rooted in the concepts of the late Richard Hay, founder of those pioneering marques. Huszti, now owner and chief designer, named it "Heed"—the Hungarian word for bridge (híd), pronounced "heed"—reflecting its bridged output topology and ambition to connect listeners directly to music.
The company specializes in compact, high-performance amplification, including the enduring Obelisk series integrated amps, along with phono stages like the Questar and Quasar, which earned acclaim for synergy with Rega turntables. Heed also produces DACs, CD transports, speakers, and select accessories, all designed and manufactured in-house with global parts. Casework, once UK-sourced, now comes from top Hungarian metalworkers for precision and consistency.
Heed occupies a niche boutique position in the high-end market, prized by European cognoscenti for its "forget hi-fi—remember music" ethos: handcrafted gear delivering sonic purity, musicality, and engagement without ostentation. With a small team in Budapest, it commands respect for unpretentious excellence, bridging vintage-inspired circuits with modern refinement.
