Angeboten wird „MC Anna Diamond NEW from stock!“ von Ortofon als Neugerät aus der Kategorie „Tonabnehmer MC“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 2852228875 endet am 02.10.2026 um 08:35 Uhr.
This is an ambitious ask relative to the recent EUR used market: €6,999 sits above the €6,131 75th percentile, with the median at €5,131 and the lower quartile at €4,240. For a buyer, that means you’re paying a clear premium over the typical comparable listing, so it needs to be unusually clean, complete, or demonstrably low-mileage to justify the number.
That said, the cartridge itself is a top-tier moving-coil and is well regarded for its refinement, detail retrieval, and sense of ease when properly matched. If this one is genuinely in excellent condition with original packaging, a known history, and plenty of stylus life left, the upside is a very serious reference-level transducer; if not, the price leaves less room for risk, so I’d want strong evidence of provenance and wear before calling it a buy.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Ortofon: A Century of Precision Sound
Ortofon traces its lineage to October 9, 1918, when Danish engineers Axel Petersen and Arnold Poulsen founded the Electrical Phono Film Company in Copenhagen. The name itself derives from Greek, meaning "correct sound"—a philosophy that has guided the company's trajectory for over a century. Initially focused on synchronized sound film technology, Ortofon pivoted to audio reproduction after 1945, when the superior recording quality of new cutting equipment revealed the inadequacy of existing playback systems. This gap sparked the development of the pioneering Ortofon mono pickup in 1948, establishing the foundation for the company's future dominance.
Today, Ortofon is the world's largest manufacturer of magnetic cartridges for phonograph turntables, producing approximately 500,000 units annually. The company's product portfolio centers exclusively on phono cartridges—both moving magnet and moving coil designs—with over 300 distinct models developed since 1948. This singular focus reflects deep specialization rather than diversification, positioning Ortofon as a micro-mechanical specialist rather than a broad-based audio manufacturer.
Ortofon occupies the high-end segment of the audio market, commanding respect among vinyl enthusiasts and professional studios alike. The brand benefits from Denmark's established reputation for acoustic engineering and industrial design, supported by in-house research and development. For discerning turntable owners, Ortofon cartridges represent the gold standard—a heritage brand whose century-long commitment to cartridge excellence remains unmatched in the industry.
