Angeboten wird „The RIAA mk II (TheRIAA) phono preamp - as new“ von RCM als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Phonoverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 9595616844 endet am 27.09.2026 um 12:54 Uhr.
Against a current-new price of £13,500 for the phono stage, €6,480 looks like a solid used buy rather than a stretch, especially given your database’s €1,755 median and €5,958 75th percentile. It sits a bit above the top quartile, so I’d call it ambitious but defensible if the unit is truly “as new” and complete.
This is a very serious phono preamp: adjustable gain, wide loading options, and the sort of low-noise, high-end execution that makes moving-coil and finicky MM cartridges sing. If the box includes the PSU, remote, and all original accessories, that strengthens the case further; on a piece like this, completeness and condition matter more than age alone.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
RCM Audio is a Polish high-end audio manufacturer rooted in the country's premier audio distribution heritage. Emerging as an offshoot of the top distributor RCM, the brand was inspired by owner Roger Adamek's dissatisfaction with existing phono stages, particularly after handling the Vitus Audio MP-P201. Some sources also credit Marcin Hamerla as founder, though details on the exact founding year remain unverified in available records. Designed and built in Poland, RCM embodies a no-compromise approach to analog audio revival.
The brand focuses exclusively on phono preamplifiers, crafting high-quality stages that prioritize exceptional sound quality and musical passion. Models like The Big Phono exemplify their philosophy of using premium parts without unnecessary frills, aiming to deliver what they define as "good sound" for vinyl enthusiasts.
RCM holds a niche boutique position in the high-end market, appealing to discerning hi-fi buyers seeking uncompromising phono performance. Distributed across Europe including Belgium, the Netherlands, and France, it garners praise for its specialist excellence among premium analog setups, though it remains somewhat obscure outside dedicated circles.
