Angeboten wird „Air Force V Premium high end audio turntable NEW 26% OFF“ von TechDAS als Neugerät aus der Kategorie „Plattenspieler-Laufwerk“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 9477308822 endet am 02.09.2026 um 06:44 Uhr.
At €13,999, this sits just above the current used median of €13,525 and a touch over the 75th percentile at €13,801, so it reads as slightly ambitious rather than a bargain. It is not wildly out of line for the model, but at this level I’d want the listing to be especially clean and complete to justify the ask.
That said, the Air Force V is a serious reference-level deck: the air-bearing design is aimed at ultra-low noise, superb speed stability, and a very “black background” presentation that lets the rest of the system shine. If this example is well cared for, with the pump, accessories, and any original packaging intact, the upside is getting into a genuinely elite turntable without the uncertainty of a more compromised project piece.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
TechDAS emerged from the storied legacy of Japanese audio engineering, founded in 2010 as the house brand of Stella Inc., Japan's premier high-end audio distributor. Hideaki Nishikawa, a legendary figure known for his pioneering work at Stax and Micro Seiki—where he designed influential nonsuspended turntables like the RX-5000—established TechDAS to pursue ultimate analog playback. After leading an OEM venture post-Stax, Nishikawa channeled decades of expertise into air-bearing innovations, all crafted in Japan with meticulous precision.
The brand specializes exclusively in high-end analog turntables, renowned for the Air Force series that employs groundbreaking pneumatic technologies. Signature features include air suspension for vibration isolation, air-bearing platters, and vacuum hold-down systems, powered by external pumps. Models range from the accessible Air Force V at around $19,500 to the flagship Air Force Zero, exceeding $450,000, with each emphasizing superior machining, electronics, and soundstaging that redefines vinyl reproduction.
TechDAS commands a niche position at the pinnacle of the ultra-high-end market, earning global acclaim among audiophiles for its uncompromising craftsmanship and sonic transparency. Far from mid-tier or vintage fare, it appeals to discerning collectors seeking boutique excellence, with the Air Force line—starting from the seminal Air Force One—celebrated for pushing analog boundaries through "Digital Analog Supremacy."
