Angeboten wird „EA-550“ von Phasemation als Neugerät aus der Kategorie „Phonoverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 3005182846 endet am 08.10.2026 um 08:25 Uhr.
At €7,990, this asking price is essentially the current new retail figure, making it a poor deal for a used unit in EUR-condition unless the seller includes a significant warranty or original accessories. Typical used pricing for the EA-550 in EUR ranges from €5,800 to €6,500, with one active listing at €5,800, so this price sits well above the 75th percentile of the used market.
The EA-550 is a top-tier, dual-mono, all-discrete phono stage prized for its symmetric non-feedback circuit that delivers exceptional MC and MM performance with deep bass control and minimal noise. Its dual-chassis design eliminates channel coupling, and its high gain (64dB MC) suits low-output cartridges perfectly. However, at this price, buyers should verify the unit’s age, power supply health, and whether it includes the original shipping cases and documentation, as these matter for a €7,990 purchase.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Phasemation traces its roots to 1970, when Kyodo Denshi Systems was founded in Yokohama, Japan, as a precision electronic measurement instrument company. Initially focused on institutional tools like step-up transformers and DACs in the 1990s, it pivoted to high-end audio under the Phase Tech brand, producing cartridges, CD transports, and tube phonostages. In 2010, the company rebranded as Phasemation to expand globally, leveraging decades of engineering expertise to prioritize phase accuracy for lifelike sound reproduction.
The brand specializes in analog-centric high-end components, renowned for its moving coil phono cartridges and exceptional phonostages, such as the modular six-box EA-2000, the two-box EA-550, and the single-chassis EA-320. Its lineup also includes tube amplifiers, preamplifiers, and step-up transformers, all designed to deliver a balanced sound that blends warmth with hyper-detailed resolution, excelling on jazz, classical, acoustic, and vocal tracks.
Phasemation holds a prestigious niche in the high-end market as one of Japan's fastest-growing hi-fi brands, celebrated for meticulous craftsmanship and expansive soundstaging that evokes live performance emotion. Positioned as a boutique leader for discerning vinyl enthusiasts, it commands worldwide acclaim among audiophiles seeking realism over mere technical prowess.
