Angeboten wird „Melto 2“ von LAB12 als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Phonoverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 888068641 endet am 13.08.2026 um 19:51 Uhr.
This is a current-generation piece rather than a vintage holdover, so timing matters less than condition and completeness. At €2,100, it lands above the recent median of €1,397 and even above the 75th percentile of €1,753, so this is an ambitious ask unless the unit is unusually well kept or comes with extras.
That said, the product itself has a strong reputation and plenty of appeal for tube-phono buyers who want a serious, musical front end with real resale demand. If the box is clean, fully functional, and ideally includes original packaging or accessories, the premium can be justified for someone specifically shopping this model; just make sure there’s a clear reason it sits at the top end rather than a straight “nice unit, high price” listing.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Lab 12 is a Greek hi-fi brand founded in 2012 by Stratos Vichos in Athens, with a clear identity built around handmade tube electronics. The company was established to make valve gear feel more usable and less precious than the old stereotype of temperamental, obscure tube audio.
Its core product focus is tube amplification: integrated amplifiers, power amplifiers, preamps, phono stages, and DACs. Available coverage and dealer listings point to a catalogue centered on models like the Integre4, Mighty, and DAC1 Reference, which reinforces that Lab 12 is primarily an electronics brand rather than one spanning speakers, turntables, headphones, or cables.
In the market, Lab 12 sits in the high-end niche boutique segment. It is known for artisanal construction, valve-based designs, and a slightly adventurous engineering identity that appeals to experienced listeners who want something distinctive rather than mainstream. It is not a mass-market brand, and its reputation is strongest among enthusiasts looking for serious, characterful tube hi-fi with a European boutique pedigree.
