Angeboten wird „Akurate ExaktBox 6 / Katalyst“ von LINN als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „aktive Frequenzweichen“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 9001652085 endet am 09.10.2026 um 12:27 Uhr.
This looks like a fair ask rather than a bargain: a used Akurate Exakt DSM typically lands around the mid-€3,000s to about €5,500 depending on variant and condition, so €2,990 sits a bit under the usual middle of the market and is comfortably in buying territory. New Akurate Exakt pricing was far higher, with Linn’s UK pricing and dealer listings putting the platform well into premium territory, which helps explain why used units still command serious money.
The appeal is the usual Linn one: very refined digital front-end performance, excellent timing and separation, and the kind of system integration that can make a good setup feel tightly locked in. If this one is truly good condition, that’s meaningful, because these are best judged on complete functionality, firmware/version, and included PSU/accessories rather than cosmetics alone; a clean, working example at this price is a solid enthusiast buy, not a risky stretch.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Linn Products: Brand Overview
Linn Products was founded in 1973 by Scottish engineer Ivor Tiefenbrun in Glasgow as a vehicle to manufacture the Sondek LP12 turntable, which would become the company's most iconic product and a cornerstone of high-fidelity audio. The brand emerged during the golden era of British hi-fi with a revolutionary "source first" philosophy—challenging the prevailing industry belief that loudspeakers mattered most by demonstrating that superior sound quality begins with the audio source. This foundational principle has guided the company's engineering ethos for over five decades.
Linn's product portfolio spans the complete hi-fi chain, from turntables and tonearms to preamplifiers, power amplifiers, and loudspeakers. The company introduced the world's first microprocessor-controlled preamplifier and power amplifier in 1985 (the LK1 and LK2), establishing itself as an electronics specialist. From 2007 onward, Linn pivoted toward digital music streaming, becoming an early adopter of network-based audio playback supporting studio master-quality recordings at 24-bit/192 kHz resolution, and discontinued CD player production in 2009 to focus on this strategic direction.
Linn occupies the high-end segment of the audio market, commanding respect among discerning audiophiles and collectors for its uncompromising engineering approach and longevity. The brand's reputation rests on meticulous product design, acoustic isolation principles, and a commitment to eliminating weak links in the signal chain—a philosophy that has made Linn one of the most influential manufacturers in hi-fi history and a benchmark for quality-focused audio engineering.
