Built in Cambridge, England in 1994, this is a clone of the better known Magnum Audio IA-50. Same design...
Amp works 100%. Chrome and lid showing some signs of oxidisation, which is the norm for these at this age.
50-watter, so no powerhouse, but sounds silky smooth, with a great MM phono stage.
Some years ago, I had a (passive) preamp output professionaly added.

Up for sale is a pair of spare acoustic panels, these are approx 1740 long, 550 wide, 65mm deep. In a nice off white acoustic fabric, filled with acoustic bats. Frames are quality dressed pine with separate sections. Back has black acoustic cloth.
CHEAP! Just taking up space right now so someone is going to get a bargain pair of large panels.
 
You will need a large vehicle and meet up at Fountain Gate during the day, cash on collection please.
I do get to other parts of Melbourne every few weeks so msg me to discuss collection.

Bryston BHA-1 headphone amplifier.
 
It works perfectly fine, comes with its stock power cable but no original packaging.
 
Selling for a friend.
 
He stated that he bought the unit years back, however have not used it much as he mainly used tube amplifiers for his taste. Enough power to drive nearly every headphones, spacious sound, extremely dynamic and exciting, yet you can still hear all the micro and macro details.
upgrade fuse (Shark fuse) inserted as well.

selling my second ndx streamer, circa 2016 based on the serial number.By far the best streamer available out there and for a very good reason. Possible exception is the ndx2 and even that is more of an incremental improvements. I did audition to compare even before the A2A insanity and was rather happy with both choices. ( A2A ndx2 is $6000 )
The sheer musicality and the way it manages music through your local network or streaming Tidal/Spotify is simply breathtaking.
Yes others may have the bells and whistles in terms of features but just don’t sound the way this unit does. 

Can ship as I have the packaging from Naim but you need to organize and happy to help.

Purchased from Len Wallis in lane cove, with a view of going all xlr. But didn’t pan out and went single ended. 
These are from a Naim statement pre/power setup for a customer who ultimately decided to go another more expensive route. Hence special order from Naim for this length. Current rrp for 1.5m can be found here:
https://www.basilaudio.com/products/superlumina-balanced-xlrxlr-signal-interconnect-cable/
 
So if you have a need for the ultimate xlr cable in your setup or just bought into the new range of Naim gear this is an absolute must, especially for the price.

This Festool connector Systainer kit is brand new, it is still sealed. I purchased it to do a job which fell through when the main contractor went into liquidation.
You require a Festool Domino DF 500 Joining Machine to take advantage of this kit.
Any cabinetmaker will know this kit is an excellent product to own. It can be used to connect cabinet sides together and then take them apart again.
My intention was to use it where I had to fit out a custom office, create matching infill panels to hide pipes and cables, that could then be removed when required for maintenance.
Shipping if required is at the buyers cost, I shall pay sellers fee. I am open to offers that are reasonable considering I have already taken a large loss.
The photo shows that the unit is sealed, I am not prepared to break the seal as it is new.
 
Here is Festools link, showing an exploded view of the kit and its components.

SN subscribers offered first before I put it on a global specialty website.
 
Arguably one of the best looking Rolex model released. Even the future King William is a fan and owner. 
 
Mark 1 dial. Very few ever come up for sale and I have not seen another early Mark 1 come up in Australia for more than 10 years. 

Full box and papers, including certificate from J Farren Price.  Sourced by Nick Hacko years ago for me. 

Near new condition. In offsite SDB storage so rarely worn. 

Given utter rarity, a true investment piece. The price has only gone one way since release!

No swaps, and only 2+ years SN subscribers to apply. Offer open for 1 week only. Apologies in advance but silly offers will not be responded to. I am in no rush-it to continues to kill inflation!

Specific details about this Preamplifier:
 
I am the original owner from new. Unit was purchased locally through authorised Primaluna retailer. It presents in mint condition with no marks, scratches, or dents. It still has the protective film attached to the chassis from factory.  Black faceplate for a sophisticated look. This unit sold with the original PrimaLuna 12au7 tubes supplied from factory. They are the have not been used previously.  i can also provide a pair of gorgeous sounding Mullard GZ32 rectifier tubes (as pictured) at an additional cost. All the original factory carton and packaging is included for safe and effective transportation by courier.  Complete with factory carton inclusions and accessories, including remote control, white gloves, power cable etc. Pet, child and smoke free home. Willing to post at buyer's expense

In the world of preamps, experts agree that tube rectification is the gold standard.
 
AC OFFSET KILLER - A PRIMALUNA EXCLUSIVE
AC Offset Killer is about goose bumps. The ones you get when music comes out of a background so quiet, you may say to yourself “Just how is this possible?” PrimaLuna custom-winds our own massive toroidal power transformers that are low in hum and EMI. But we wanted more. Our engineers designed the AC Offset Killer to lower transformer noise to a place no other manufacturer dreams of going, regardless of how bad your electricity is. The result? Sense of space. Texture. The resonance of an acoustic guitar or violin string that seems to trail on forever. The AC Offset Killer will amaze you.
 
TAKMAN RESISTORS
If you bought a lesser amplifier, you would pay hundreds to make this upgrade. Easy to identify through their pink color, these premium resistors from Japan are popular with those who rebuild and upgrade their gear. "Modders" love TAKMAN for their low noise, linearity, and musicality.
 
DUAL TOROIDAL POWER TRANSFORMERS
Power transformers generate two types of noise, magnetic and acoustic. That's why toroidal power transformers are used in the very best audio products. Compared to standard transformers, toroids radiate about 1/10 the magnetic field that pollutes music and obscures detail. Additionally, the absence of an air gap typically means toroids have an 8:1 reduction of acoustic noise. As transformers are the most expensive components in any audio product, manufacturers will even house cheaper C-core and EI-core transformers in an outboard power supply box with an umbilical cable rather than upgrade to an expensive toroid. The increased cost is significant, but PrimaLuna doesn’t cut corners. All PrimaLuna products use massive, potted toroidal transformers. PrimaLuna transformers are enclosed in a metal housing and then potted in a non-microphonic resin to further reduce noise and to protect the windings from moisture and deterioration forever. They are massive, resulting in a preamp weighing a substantial 53 pounds.
 
Tube rectified
In the world of preamps, experts agree that tube rectification is the gold standard. It’s quieter than solid state rectification, dropping the noise floor. And it offers the most natural, textured, and vibrant presentation because the circuit is now pure tube. But because it is expensive to implement, you’ll only find it in the top of the line models typically costing $10,000 or more. Finding a preamp using one rectifier tube is sweet. PrimaLuna goes even further using two 5AR4 rectifier tubes in a dual-mono design to present your music with a three-dimensionality that will give you goosebumps.
 
Japanese ALPS Blue Velvet Potentiometer
The best tube preamps use analogue volume controls. Not volume control chips. Look inside the most well-known brand of tube preamps and you will see a chip called a DS1666-10 Digital Resistor IC. At Primaluna, we understand the temptation to use this chip as they cost $4 each (half that in quantity!). The preamp will sound fine and be quiet, but true to “chips” it will add an electronic “sheen” to the sound. PrimaLuna prefers analogue. And we use the Gold Standard in motorized potentiometers: The iconic Alps Blue Velvet. Why? Because they track perfectly, stay quiet, and don’t sound like chips!
 
SuperQuiet Line Inputs
Input selector switches leak noise and signals from other sources, as they never turn off the other inputs completely. And, they deteriorate with age, requiring the use of cleaners. Many are mounted on the front panel requiring long runs of wires to the back panel inputs. These wires pick up stray noise from RF and EMI.
 
PrimaLuna has a better way. Instead of a switch, input selection is done using premium quality sealed relays mounted in the rear where you plug in your components. When an input is selected, that relay closes giving you the best connection possible. All the other relays are left open, so noise and signals from other sources can’t leak in. The signal path is now almost non-existent, so there are no wires to pick up noise.
 
POINT TO POINT WIRING
You spend a lot of money on interconnects. So why have the signal go right from the RCA jacks or speaker terminals into circuit boards with copper traces so thin you can hardly see them? What’s high-end about that?
 
PrimaLuna employs Point to Point Wiring on all products. EVO 300 and EVO 400 models even use Swiss-made silver-plated OFC wire. The entire signal path, including resistors and capacitors, is painstakingly hand wired with heavy-gauge cable by craftsman.
 
NO INTERNAL DAC / NO INTERNAL PHONOSTAGE
Never buy a preamplifier with an internal DAC. Why? Because digital changes, and history shows that preamplifiers with “old” digital become unwanted and have almost no resale value.
 
Built in phonostages are “throw in” and are rarely good quality because manufacturers assume 90% of buyers won’t use them. The external phonostage market is very competitive. You can get something much better for as little as $200, and buy one that actually meets your cartridges needs and YOUR budget.
 
Dual-Mono Design
Expensive and exotic preamps always use a dual-mono design to achieve a level of imaging not possible otherwise. Most manufacturers don’t employ dual-mono because of expense. It requires two power transformers, double regulation circuits, and in fact….everything is double. In effect, dual-mono means building two discrete and separate preamps into one box. It is so expensive to build, it’s a rarity even at the highest price points. All PrimaLuna preamps are dual-mono for the ultimate in stereo imaging and a sense of space that goes on forever.
 
DiaLogue FRONT-END CIRCUITRY
The DiaLogue Premium uses three 12AU7 tubes per channel. The result is even lower distortion and increased bandwidth over ProLogue. The change in dynamic range is stunning! Distortion levels in the first stage have dropped by a factor of five at low levels, and at least 20 at higher levels, above one volt. The four 12AU7’s on the outside are driver tubes. By using four instead of two, we can swing more voltage. The two tubes in the center are the input tubes, and that’s where you want to have fun later if you wish by experimenting with different tube brands.
 
Thanks for looking.

Both side are banana head connector. Bi-wire. 2.5 meter length. It is directional.  RRP $5020
 
I cant say its neutral, its transparent and at the same time warm. But its not like PAD, not that solid/dark, its more bright. 
 
If you are in Melbourne I can bring it to your place for audition. 
 
https://10audio.com/ap_oval8/ I quote :"Solo Crystal Oval 8 offered more of everything: deeper, more powerful and detailed bass, greater transparency in the all-important midrange, and more micro or low level detail in the upper frequencies. "   
 
With original box/package. 
 
I recently changed speaker to Magico A3, and switch to silver speaker cable after that, dont need AP cable now. It's so beautiful on sound and looking, I wish whoever get it can enjoy it as much as I do. 
 
 

2 x Lyngdorf Boundary Subwoofers. Suit new buyer, perfect condition, little use.
 
Tough to take good pictures as they are in corners behind my screen. The gloss black finish is perfect, just the flash made good pics difficult.
 
Price above is for the pair.

An opportunity has presented and as a result, I need to sell my Luxman. I only took delivery of this beauty on Saturday 30th March after a 5 month wait.

This is the latest flagship integrated amplifier from Luxman and it sounds tremendous!

Stereophile review: https://www.stereophile.com/content/luxman-l-509z-integrated-amplifier 

Unfortunately need to sell most of the stuff in my theatre, including this Marantz SR7012 Receiver. It's been absolutely flawless since I've had it, and it's served me very very well, I'm sad to see it go. No issues with it at all, I've had a 5.1.4 setup hooked up to it since purchase and it all sounds fantastic. Welcome to come over and demo it before purchase, though I also have the projector for sale here and if either that sells, or I move the speakers (they're going to a friend), or it's past mid-May ish (when we move), that may not be possible. I'm not worried about the buyer being disappointed with it though to be honest.
 
I also have the original box.

I am looking for a new home for my highly regarded Audio Solutions Virtuoso-S speakers, they have been a part my personal system from new, it’s now someone else’s turn to enjoy.
 
One reviewer commented that they are able to compete with well known, exoteric, high-end brands that can cost twice the price. 
 
Price guide - RRP NZ$44,995/pr
 
These speakers are presented in excellent, like new condition, in piano black gloss and come in original shipping boxes. if required I can arrange international shipping at cost, no problem.
 
With rarely found hard pulp paper cone mid & bass drivers and silk dome tweeter they have deep bass, a natural, dynamic, open presentation with no glare or haze to spoil many hours of engagement.
 
If wanted I can include the excellent Townshend series 4 Seismic Isolation Podiums shown in photo with speakers sitting on top, at a very special price.
 
High Fidelity review summary:
“the Virtuoso S is also absolutely versatile in terms of the musical repertoire. They did great in my favorite acoustic music, built a unique atmosphere and soundstage for good live performances, impressed with super punctual pace and rhythm and high energy in blues and rock recordings, or the momentum and scale of music when playing large classical pieces. The vocals sound great, convincing and present with these speakers, but also the slightly lesser in terms of recording quality tracks/albums can sound really good, better than usual, because some of their flaws may be slightly tempered. Whether I listened to an acoustic trio, a rock band or a large symphonic orchestra, the Virtuoso S treated every challenge the same - in an unforced, effortless way but still a highly precise one, and the only limitation to the quantity and quality of information reproduced by the speakers, was the signal they received, i.e. the quality of the recording and the system that „prepared” signal for the Virtuoso S. These are excellent loudspeakers for top, well-balanced systems. Simply, as befits good loudspeakers, the AudioSolutions Virtuoso S are to be "only" the last, key element of a system that will convey its full potential without taming it or imposing its own character. These are truly classy, high-end speakers!”

AUDIO SOLUTIONS: 
Our Virtuoso series employs much of the advanced technology originally developed for the company’s Vantage series and sits comfortably just below our flagship Vantage 5th anniversary series.
 
HIGHLIGHTS:
Notable highlights of Virtuoso series includes an advanced Box-in-a-Box system, mini-horn loaded tweeter, an extended frequency midrange driver, a user-adjustable crossover with three listening profiles, and of course self-locking cabinets borrowed from our Vantage flagship speakers
 
KEY FEATURES:
Three-way speaker system. Highly braced internal skeleton with complex all new Box-in-a-Box enclosure and multi-layer walls. Inspired by Vantage 5th anniversary speakers with many technologies borrowed from and advanced to fit for our new generation platform. We believe that Virtuoso is a dawn of a completely new generation of speakers at AudioSolutions and it starts with Virtuoso series.
 
UNIQUE ADJUSTABLE HARMONICS CROSSOVER:
Virtuoso-S is equipped with a new type of speaker performance tuning device which encloses three different crossovers in one speaker , Balanced, Moderate & Enhanced to choose from. This system does not change SPL of speaker response and should not be mistaken with room/system tuning devices where levels of individual drivers are being changed. In Virtuoso we decided to take a step further and use natural drivers' distortion pattern to manipulate listening experience.
