Angeboten wird „Reed 1 H“ von Reed Audio als Neugerät aus der Kategorie „Tonarm“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 9202646064 endet am 03.10.2026 um 06:17 Uhr.
A very strong entry point if the condition is genuinely clean. At €2,650, this sits well below the €3,916 25th percentile and far under the €6,363 median of the recent EUR comparables, so it reads as a bargain rather than merely fair.
That makes it the kind of used buy that leaves room for the usual setup costs and still feels sensible. Reed arm assemblies are well regarded for precision, low-friction bearing work, and long-term tweakability, so a tidy example can be a smart way into a serious analog front end. If the listing includes the original packaging, arm wand, headshell, wiring, or any setup accessories, that only strengthens the case.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Reed emerged from Lithuania's burgeoning hi-fi scene, rooted in the ingenuity of radio engineer Vidmantas Triukas. With experience in hi-fi since 1985 and expertise in acoustic engineering—including patented inventions in ultrasound and noise transmission—he built an early audio system featuring a turntable, speakers, and amplifier in 1987. Showcased at the USSR's premier technical exhibition in Moscow, it marked the start of his lifelong passion. After a detour into other ventures post-1990s, Triukas revived his audio pursuits in 2007, launching Reed as a boutique operation with just five employees dedicated to analog excellence.
The brand specializes in precision tonearms and turntables, blending engineering rigor with aesthetic flair. Signature models like the 1H, 2G, and 3P radial tonearms come in lengths from 9.5 to 12.5 inches, often with wooden arm wands crafted from premium materials such as carbon fiber and stainless steel. These components prioritize minimal distortion, superior tracking, and lightweight rigidity, elevating vinyl playback without venturing into amplifiers, speakers, or digital gear.
Reed holds a niche position in the high-end market, revered by audiophiles for handcrafted quality that fuses scientific precision—drawn from Triukas's "rocket science" background—with artistic design. Distributed through specialists like Absolute Sounds in the UK, it appeals to discerning vinyl enthusiasts seeking transformative upgrades over mass-market options, earning praise for durability, sound purity, and visual allure.
