Angeboten wird „S7 + 9' Tonarm + Benz System“ von Simon Yorke Designs als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Plattenspieler komplett“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 2858455154 endet am 04.10.2026 um 06:17 Uhr.
With no clear replacement-model cutoff to worry about, this is mainly a condition-and-completeness buy rather than a timing play. At €14,950, it sits well above the recent €13,109 75th percentile and is therefore ambitious versus the typical used market; I’d want either standout presentation, unusually complete accessories, or known service history to justify it.
That said, this is a serious, well-regarded deck/arm combination, and the inclusion of the arm and Benz system adds real value if they’re properly matched and in good order. For a buyer, the upside is the package convenience and the chance to get a carefully assembled analog front end in one shot. I’d still verify bearing health, suspension behavior, tonearm condition, cartridge hours, and whether any original parts or paperwork are included, because at this level the premium is paid for confidence as much as hardware.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Simon Yorke Designs is a niche boutique hi-fi brand originating from the United Kingdom, hand-crafted by its namesake designer in County Durham. A London native with a background as an artist, machinist, and electronics expert, Simon Yorke has dedicated his adult life to precision analog audio, blending aesthetic sensibility with technical mastery. While the exact founding year remains unverified in public records, his work traces back decades, earning acclaim for its uncompromising craftsmanship.
The brand focuses exclusively on high-end turntables and tonearms, such as the renowned S7 Precision Analogue Disc Transcription System and Series 9 models, often paired with custom arms like the Aeroarm. These are not mass-produced components but bespoke record players designed for ultimate vinyl fidelity, shunning digital categories like DACs, amplifiers, speakers, headphones, or cables.
Simon Yorke Designs occupies the pinnacle of the high-end analog market, revered by audiophiles and institutions alike. Its S7 turntable was selected—and paid for—by the Library of Congress for archiving irreplaceable discs, underscoring its archival precision and reliability. Positioned as a collector's choice for those seeking artisanal excellence over commercial volume, it appeals to discerning buyers prioritizing purity and posterity in vinyl playback.
