Should you really pay A$1,890 for a turntable when the typical used market for similar Sonic Art items centers around A$512? Absolutely not; this asking price is wildly ambitious, sitting nearly four times the 75th percentile (A$539) of the GROUND TRUTH data, making it a severe overpay unless this is a rare, brand-new unit with no comparable used history.
The Sonic Art FABLE is well-regarded for its solid build and smooth playback, often favored by enthusiasts seeking reliable performance without excessive fuss, but at A$1,890, the upside is negligible unless the listing confirms brand-new condition, original accessories, and warranty—factors that would justify the steep premium over the A$484–A$539 range. Without those assurances, this is not a buying opportunity but a risky gamble on inflated pricing.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Sonic Art is an Australian hi-fi brand with roots in the 1990s, founded by designer and cable specialist Chris, who later expanded the business from Australia into Southeast Asia. The clearest public record points to the company being established in the late 1990s and built around his long-standing interest in industrial design and audio reproduction. It appears to have begun as a specialist audio outfit rather than a mass-market electronics maker.
The brand is best known for audio cables and associated hi-fi accessories, including interconnects, digital cables, and other signal-path products. Its website also suggests a broader role in high-end audio retail and distribution, particularly through importing and supporting brands such as Origin Live in Australia.
Sonic Art sits in the niche boutique end of the market rather than the mainstream mid-tier. Its reputation seems centered on specialist, enthusiast-grade products and dealer relationships, with a focus on cable design and careful system tuning rather than a wide catalogue of amplifiers, speakers, or source components. It is a small, long-running name that will be better known to committed analog and cable-conscious buyers than to casual consumers.
