Offered is „Forte S mit IKEDA IT-407 CR-1 High-End Plattenspieler“ by EAT Euro Audio Team as second-hand device from the category „Record Player, Tone Arm, System...“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 7093006083 ends on 24.10.2026 at 06:10 o'clock.
Ask yourself: is €9,999 close enough to the recent market to justify paying up for a clean one? Based on your own comparable data, this sits well above the €7,420 median and even above the €8,722 75th percentile, so it reads as ambitious rather than fair, and it would need a genuinely standout setup to make sense at this level.
That said, this is a serious statement-piece turntable, and the appeal is exactly why buyers stretch: substantial engineering, strong long-term desirability, and the kind of platform that can reward better cartridges and careful setup. In good condition, the upside is mainly about avoiding the uncertainty of older, heavily handled decks; just make sure the listing includes the right accessories, cover, and any model-specific parts, because at €9,999 the completeness matters.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
EAT, short for European Audio Team, is a European hi-fi brand founded by Jozefína Lichtenegger, and it is generally identified with Austria and Czech manufacturing heritage. The company’s story is closely tied to her leadership and to a broader revival of traditional European audio craftsmanship, including vacuum-tube production in the Czech Republic.
EAT is best known for turntables, tonearms, cartridges, phono stages, amplifiers, vacuum tubes, and related accessories. Its lineup leans heavily toward analog playback and vinyl-focused components rather than mainstream all-in-one electronics, speakers, headphones, or DACs.
In the market, EAT sits in the high-end, boutique segment. Its products are positioned for serious vinyl listeners who value build quality, distinctive industrial design, and a mix of classic analogue values with modern engineering. The brand has a reputation for premium pricing and a specialist identity rather than broad mass-market reach.
