Offered is „TX 550“ by Yamaha as second-hand device from the category „Tuner / Receiver / Network Device“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 8728592003 ends on 29.10.2026 at 06:17 o'clock.
At €120, this sits below the €138 median and well inside the lower half of the recent EUR market, so it reads as a solid buy rather than a stretch. It is not quite a bargain by the strict percentile rule — it’s above the €80 25th percentile — but it is still priced a touch under typical mid-market asking levels.
That makes sense for a well-regarded FM tuner like this: Yamaha’s TX-series has a good reputation for clean reception, stable tuning, and straightforward, no-fuss operation, which is exactly what you want if you still value broadcast radio in a serious system. In good condition, the upside is a plug-in, set-and-forget component with enduring appeal; just make sure the display, buttons, and all inputs work as they should, and that the antenna connection is intact.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Yamaha stands as one of the world's most storied audio manufacturers, with roots extending far beyond consumer electronics. Founded in 1887 by Torakusu Yamaha in Hamamatsu, Japan, the company began as a reed organ manufacturer before expanding into pianos and eventually becoming a comprehensive musical instrument maker. This deep heritage in acoustics and materials science would prove foundational to its later audio ventures. The company operated under its original name, Nippon Gakki Co., Ltd., until 1987, when it was renamed Yamaha Corporation in honor of its centennial.
Yamaha's entry into high-fidelity audio proved transformative for the industry itself. In 1954, the company released the Yamaha Hi-Fi Player, widely recognized as the world's first audio component to bear the "Hi-Fi" designation in its name. The company subsequently built a comprehensive product portfolio spanning amplifiers—beginning with the acclaimed A-100 in 1960—speakers, turntables, and digital audio equipment. The NS-1000 speakers, introduced in 1974 with beryllium drivers, became iconic reference monitors. Yamaha also pioneered digital audio technology, shipping the world's first CD recorder in 1988.
Today, Yamaha occupies a distinctive position as a mid-to-high-end generalist rather than a niche specialist. The brand commands respect among both casual listeners and serious audiophiles, balancing accessibility with genuine engineering credibility. Its reputation rests on six decades of consistent innovation, proven reliability, and the unique advantage of applying musical instrument expertise to audio reproduction. Vintage Yamaha components remain highly sought by collectors, while current products maintain the brand's tradition of delivering performance and durability across multiple price tiers.
