Angeboten wird „Holbo mk2“ von HOLBO als Neugerät aus der Kategorie „Plattenspieler komplett“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 5704847368 endet am 24.09.2026 um 16:50 Uhr.
Timing doesn’t really change the verdict here: this is a current-generation buy, but the asking price sits well above the recent used market for this model. With a median of €3,200 and a 75th percentile of €4,069, €4,990 is clearly ambitious rather than fair-value territory.
That said, the model is well regarded for serious analog performance, so you’re paying for a known quantity rather than taking a gamble. If this example is unusually clean, with complete accessories and strong provenance, the premium is easier to justify; otherwise, I’d keep hunting because the upside in value looks better below €4,069.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Holbo is a Slovenian audio manufacturer founded by Bostjan Holc, whose name forms the company's acronym. The brand entered the market relatively recently as an artisan operation, establishing itself with a singular, meticulously engineered product rather than a broad portfolio. Holc spent less than three years developing the company's flagship offering, reflecting a philosophy of focused innovation over diversification.
The brand is exclusively known for its airbearing turntable system, a novel design that eliminates all metal-to-metal contact between moving mechanical components. The turntable features a 5 kg aluminum platter suspended on an air cushion, paired with an integral linear tracking tonearm that also incorporates airbearing technology. This approach aims to remove friction and micro-vibrations entirely, allowing vinyl playback to reveal music with exceptional clarity, dynamics, and harmonic continuity. The system operates via an external compressor, which can be positioned remotely due to its operational noise.
Holbo occupies a distinctly high-end, boutique niche within the turntable market. Priced at approximately $7,900, the system attracts discerning analog enthusiasts and collectors seeking cutting-edge engineering rather than conventional designs. Professional reviewers consistently praise its detailed, noise-free performance and the compelling musicality it extracts from vinyl, positioning Holbo as a specialist manufacturer for those prioritizing sonic purity and innovative technology over brand recognition or product breadth.
