Offered is „DS Audio ES 001 High End Exzentirizitäts Stabilizer“ by DS Audio as second-hand device from the category „Record Player Accessories“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 8736077947 ends on 27.11.2026 at 20:35 o'clock.
This is a strong deal at €3,250, well below the comparable-listing 25th percentile of €3,701 and comfortably under the €4,140 median. For a clean example, that is bargain territory rather than merely a fair price.
The ES-001 is a genuinely useful specialist tool: it measures record eccentricity and guides you in repositioning the disc, tightening image focus, spatial stability, and pitch consistency where off-centre pressings are troublesome. It is particularly worthwhile for a serious vinyl collection, since the benefit applies across records rather than depending on a particular cartridge. Check that the touchscreen, sensors, battery compartment, charger, reamer, and case are present and working; with those accounted for, this looks like an unusually attractive opportunity.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
# DS Audio
DS Audio is a Japanese hi-fi specialist founded in October 2013 by Tetsuaki Aoyagi, building on his father's three-decade legacy in laser optics through Digital Stream Corporation. Based in Sagamihara, Kanagawa, the brand emerged from a deliberate mission to reinvent analog playback and "create the future of analog music." This heritage in precision optics proved instrumental in developing the company's signature technology.
The brand is renowned almost exclusively for optical phono cartridges—a category in which DS Audio stands alone as the world's sole major manufacturer. Their cartridges employ proprietary LED-based optical transducers that dramatically improve upon earlier Toshiba designs, eliminating traditional stylus contact and offering exceptional longevity (approximately 50,000 usable hours). DS Audio complements these cartridges with matching phono stages and turntable accessories, maintaining a tightly focused product ecosystem.
DS Audio occupies the high-end and ultra-high-end market segment, commanding premium pricing justified by proprietary innovation and limited competition. The brand has cultivated a devoted following among analog enthusiasts and collectors worldwide, with its optical cartridges climbing to the upper echelons of audio desirability. This is unquestionably a niche boutique manufacturer, but one with genuine technological differentiation and a growing reputation for excellence in a specialized domain.
