Angeboten wird „Ovation“ von clearaudio als Ausstellungsstück aus der Kategorie „Plattenspieler komplett“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 6920922136 endet am 14.07.2026 um 17:37 Uhr.
A Clearaudio Ovation is a serious turntable, and at €7,990 this one sits well above the recent used comparables I’d anchor it against: the typical used market lands around €6,005, with €5,018 at the low end and €6,992 at the high end. That makes this asking price ambitious rather than fair, roughly a step beyond the usual upper quartile, so I’d only move quickly if it’s exceptionally well spec’d or includes costly extras.
That said, the Ovation is respected for its speed stability, low-noise engineering, and very “get out of the way” presentation—exactly what you want from a reference-level deck. If the condition is truly good, and it comes with the original arm, dust cover, clamp, or a desirable cartridge, some premium is understandable. Still, at this level I’d want strong provenance and a complete package before paying up.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Clearaudio, a pinnacle of German analog engineering, traces its roots to 1978 in Erlangen, when founder Peter Suchy patented the company's inaugural moving-coil cartridge. This family-owned enterprise, now steered by Peter's children—Patrick, Veronica, and Robert Suchy—has upheld a relentless pursuit of perfection, encapsulated in its philosophy: "Take the best and make it better, only then is it just good enough." Over 45 years, Clearaudio has evolved from humble beginnings into a global benchmark for vinyl playback, crafting products in its high-tech facility amid the scientific hub of Friedrich-Alexander University.
The brand's portfolio centers on high-end turntables, renowned for their transparent acrylic components, parallel-tracking tonearms, and precision mechanics that deliver unparalleled rotational stability. Complementing these are meticulously engineered moving-coil cartridges, phonostages, and tonearms, with extensions into analog accessories and even reissued Deutsche Grammophon classical recordings. While not venturing deeply into digital realms or speakers, Clearaudio's focus remains unyieldingly analog, prioritizing symbiotic magnetic, mechanical, and electrical symmetry for lifelike sound reproduction.
Positioned firmly in the high-end audiophile market, Clearaudio commands respect among discerning vinyl enthusiasts worldwide, serving over 80 countries with turntables that redefine standards. Its boutique reputation stems from in-house innovation and flawless German craftsmanship, appealing to collectors and serious listeners who demand reference-level performance without compromise.
