Offered is „Microgroove X“ by Tom Evans as new device from the category „Phono Amplifier“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 8522751174 ends on 30.10.2026 at 06:10 o'clock.
The timing is favorable here: this is an established, long-running phono stage rather than a current model likely to be superseded by a dramatically better replacement, so value is mostly about condition and setup. At €690, it sits below the €758 25th percentile of your recent comparable listings, so this reads as a strong deal rather than just fair money.
That makes it an appealing buy for a vinyl-focused system, especially if you want the Tom Evans sound: clean, fast, low-noise, and very resolved without sounding clinical. The upside is better if it’s an original-owner unit with the PSU, manual, and no repair history. I’d just confirm power-supply health, channel balance, and that the seller can show it working quietly at normal gain; on a piece like this, a clean, complete example at this price is worth moving on.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
