Air Tight ATE-1

Sold or Listed Prices

5 market transactions via web search — not HiFi Registry sales.

Understanding the market

Half of recorded transactions fall between $1,400 and $2,500. The full observed range is unusually wide — the highest recorded price is 5.0× the lowest. A spread that wide usually means the recorded sales are not strictly comparable: different configurations or finishes, units sold for parts or with cosmetic damage, or listings where the model name is shared across more than one variant. Treat the middle range as the useful signal and the extremes as outliers worth investigating before you price against them.

What buyers should know

Confirm the gain and loading options match your cartridge type — a moving-coil cartridge into a moving-magnet-only stage will not work. Ask whether loading is adjustable and whether any internal jumpers are documented.

This range reflects 5 recorded sales, compiled from publicly listed and completed sales elsewhere on the used market, not from HiFi Registry transactions. That is enough to establish a working range, but not enough to be precise — treat it as a guide rather than an appraisal.
