Offered is „Auris MkII Balanced Signature preamplifier“ by Ayon Audio as exhibit from the category „Tube-Preamp“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 5069447029 ends on 02.11.2026 at 06:18 o'clock.
Should you pay €6,995 for an Ayon Auris MkII preamp, or is there better value elsewhere? The asking price sits just above the 75th percentile of €6,515 from 52 recent EUR listings, making it ambitious but not unreasonable given the unit’s excellent condition and the model’s reputation. While it exceeds the median of €4,691, it remains within the upper tier of the market, especially compared to new retail prices hovering around €10,000–€11,500.
This preamp is a worthwhile buy because Ayon’s Auris II is celebrated for its holographic soundstage, pure Class A triode operation, and exceptional tonal realism—traits that make it a rare tube preamp for live music fidelity. Its balanced signature, low distortion (<0.01%), and robust build (19 kg, tank-like design) add significant upside. With original-owner condition implied and no noted accessories missing, this listing represents a solid opportunity for a serious enthusiast seeking high-end tube warmth without paying new prices.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Ayon Audio traces its roots to Austria, where it emerged four decades ago as VAIC before evolving into Ayon Audio in 2001 under the leadership of founder Gerhard Hirt. This transition marked a pivotal shift toward innovative vacuum tube audio design, building on Hirt's enduring ownership of the VAIC trademark and his passion for sonic purity.
The brand specializes in a comprehensive lineup of vacuum tube components, including power amplifiers, preamplifiers, headphone amplifiers, CD players, DACs, and streamers. Ayon's signature "Voicing"—its proprietary DNA—infuses every product with a distinctive soundstage renowned for depth, realism, and emotional engagement, setting new benchmarks in pure Class A circuit topologies.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Ayon commands global respect with distributors in over 55 countries and a trophy cabinet brimming from "Best Sound" and "Cost No Object" accolades at major audio shows. Austrian-engineered and award-winning, it appeals to discerning audiophiles seeking boutique excellence in tube amplification, far beyond mid-tier compromises.
