Angeboten wird „Alpine AL-90 TOP optischer Zustand. VORNE ist PERFEKT!“ von Alpine als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Cassettenrecorder“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 4533091178 endet am 26.07.2026 um 14:06 Uhr.
This €2,300 asking price is a strong bargain for the Alpine AL-90, sitting well below the typical used market where units range from €2,800 to €3,850. Comparable listings include €3,300 on Audio-Markt, roughly $3,848 (≈€3,550) on Reverb, and £2,445 (≈€2,900) on eBay UK, making this listing clearly below the 25th percentile and an excellent value.
The AL-90 is a revered 1982–1983 audiophile cassette deck known for its three-head design, dual capstan transport, and exceptional recording fidelity, offering serious tape enthusiasts rare performance at a fraction of its original DM 3,498 price. At this price in good condition, it’s a genuine buying opportunity with meaningful upside, especially if it includes original accessories or shows signs of original-owner care.

Alpine is a Japanese brand whose modern history begins in 1967, when it was founded as a joint venture between Alps Electric and Motorola under the name Alps-Motorola Inc. It became Alpine Electronics in 1978 after Motorola exited the partnership, and the brand has long been associated with Japan’s automotive electronics industry rather than the traditional home hi-fi sector.
Its core business has been car audio and in-car electronics: head units, speakers, subwoofers, amplifiers, navigation systems, multimedia receivers, and related integration products. Alpine is also known for factory-installed and vehicle-specific audio systems for automakers, along with premium aftermarket car-audio solutions.
In the market, Alpine sits as a mainstream premium automotive-audio brand rather than a high-end boutique hi-fi name. Its reputation is built on engineering, reliability, and good sound in the car, with a strong legacy among enthusiasts for well-made, performance-focused products. It is less about turntables, DACs, or headphones than about comprehensive in-dash and vehicle audio systems, and it is generally positioned above entry-level mass-market brands without reaching true luxury-audio exclusivity.
