"Audiophile" Concord Jazz Direct To Disc Vinyl. Great Guitars, Great Tracks. UltraSonic cleaned. 

This relatively compact sub can stand vertically or horizontally, giving more options for placement than most. It is versatile, working well in a HT setup or in a 2.1 system in a medium sized room.
It's had one owner, been lightly used, works faultlessly and in generally good unmarked condition, although when I moved it to photograph I noticed that some 'sticky plastic syndrome' has developed on the stand-up base and the end caps. This is a bit tacky to touch but has no effect on performance or SQ.
Also included are a Paradigm Perfect Base Kit (PBK) and a Paradigm PT-1 wireless transmitter. 
The PBK provides room correction capability for multiple enabled Paradigm subs. It has been used once for initial setup of the Millenia sub and worked well.
I always used the PT-1 wireless transmitter with the sub. It works perfectly to give versatility in sub placement and eliminates long / inconvenient cable runs. Has a range of up to 15.25m and will transmit to up to 4 enabled subs simultaneously.
The MSRP price quoted is for the entire package. All manuals, alternative mounting pieces and original packaging are included.

WAS USING THIS AND THE 0.75 MTR ALSO LISTED FROM LAPTOP TO GIESELER REINIGEN AND GUSTARD R26 DAC WITH EXCEPTIONAL RESULTS,
SOLID 1.25% SILVER CONDUCTORS FOR IMPROVED DIGITAL PERFORMANCE the cable is 5mtrs in length
Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter. Solid silver-plated conductors are excellent for very high-frequency applications, like HDMI audio. These signals, being such a high frequency, travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductor. As the surface is made of high-purity silver, the performance is very close to that of a solid silver cable, but priced much closer to solid copper cable. This is an incredibly cost effective way of manufacturing very high-quality HDMI cables.
HARD-CELL FOAM INSULATION
Hard-Cell Foam (HCF) Insulation ensures critical signal-pair geometry. Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy. Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Hard-Cell Foam Insulation is similar to the Foamed-PE used in our more affordable Bridges & Falls cables, and is nitrogen-injected to create air pockets. Because nitrogen (like air) does not absorb energy and therefore does not release any energy from or into the conductor, distortion is reduced. In addition, the stiffness of the material allows the cable's conductors to maintain a stable relationship along the cable's full length, producing a stable impedance character and further minimizing distortion.
ALL CONDUCTORS CONTROLLED FOR RF NOISE DIRECTIONALITY

Original purchaser from Addicted to Audio in April 2020.  Pictures show Focal Arche advertised separately as per the latest website. All original packaging and 1/4inch cable. Also have a Heimdall 2 balanced cable for the Utopias. 

SOLID 5% SILVER CONDUCTORS IMPROVE ANALOG PERFORMANCE  CABLE IS 1,5 MTRS
Solid conductors eliminate inter-strand distortion, one of the biggest sources of distortion in cables. 
CARBON-BASED 5-LAYER NOISE-DISSIPATION SYSTEM (NDS) 
It's easy to accomplish 100% shield coverage. Preventing captured Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) from modulating the equipment's ground reference requires AQ's Noise-Dissipation System (NDS). Traditional shield systems typically absorb and then drain noise/RF energy to component ground, modulating and distorting the critical "reference" ground plane, which in turn causes a distortion of the signal. NDS's alternating layers of metal and carbon-loaded synthetics "shield the shield," absorbing and reflecting most of this noise/RF energy before it reaches the layer attached to ground.

An excellent 2m cable in fine condition. No original box but will be packed well if travelling interstate.

This fine 6’ pair measures 1.55m tip to tip (gold bananas at each end). The midrange is to die for - as good as I’ve heard in any of my systems. Frequency extremes slightly rolled off so if you need 20Hz or have a dull sounding system these may not suit. But if you like jazz and vocal and don’t want top end harshness they may be perfect. No original box but will be packed well if going interstate. 

Just picked up a new Soundbar from a fellow member so selling my much loved Playbar.
 
Comes with original power lead and optical cable. Everything in great condition. No box I'm afraid.
 
Could post but do not have the original box, would need to fabricate something up. Postage likely around $35.
 
I won't be able to demo as it has been packed up and removed from my Sonos system.
 
Also selling Sonos Bridge and Sonos Port
 
Any questions please let me know.

Had this made for my VPI Classic Signature but now that it is for sale, I no longer require this. It's in perfect condition, no marks or scratches anywhere. Just gave it a clean with VuPlex - perfect. 
 
No shipping on this, pick up only. 
 
Anyone that's had a perspex lid made up is well aware how much they cost. Price is firm on this. 

Selling my TH900 MK2. The ear cups are in good condition and the headband has some minor marks. Includes the 1/4” cable, the stand, the original pads, a pair of dekoni full leather pads and the box. 
 
(includes the Fostex stand not the wooden one pictured)

Near new AV10 preamp/processor from Marantz.
Not much needs be said about this stellar processor. Plenty of positive reviews on line.
Comes with full accessories, packaging and warranty.
Price is firm and does not include freight (if required). Delivery to Sydney is feasible.
 
https://www.carltonaudiovisual.com.au/marantz-av10-preamplifier.html

Purchased as ex demo from Audio Connection 29/07/2023 along with my Innovation Compact. I don't know how many hours use it had in the store but I've run about 30 albums with it, not that it matters how many hours it has been used for. 
 
Recently, while taking it out of the box, I snapped the white clip off. However, I took it to Kimil Electronics, authorised repairer for Clearaudio, and Chris soldered it back on for me on the spot. Tested and all ok.  
 
Unipivot type arm. 
 
This is the ten inch, black carbon and silver version with 1.1m Clearaudio Super Sixstream cable terminated with RCA. It doesn't have the original armrest but has, what Audio Connection believes to be, a superior type with a ball top and bottom. The original version has two small wheels with rubber o-rings top and bottom - apparently the o-rings wear out quickly. The ball type on this one holds the arm in place nicely. 
 
Comes with the original box, instructions and all necessary pieces. 
 
Cartridge not included and neither is the armboard.  
 
Priced keenly to sell. 

2.5m cables purchased new from Futureshop UK in April 2022 with 48 hours of cable conditioning before delivery. Gold plated spades at amp end and gold plated bananas at speaker end. Comes with original round blue plastic case and original invoice and proof of burn in.
 

Near new (4 months old), Focal Trio 6 BE monitors. 
 
These were used as LCR speakers in a high end atmos setup, mainly used for Atmos music. I will also be listing Solo6 ST6 rears and a Marantz AV10 processor.
These have probably seen less than 60 hours use and are in as new unmarked condition.
They come with all packaging and are Australian purchased, with warranty.
These are a stunning sounding monitor with power, detail and smooth non-fatiguing sound.
I am open to separating the monitors for a sale. my price is relatively firm.
Only reason for moving these on is I have little from for a multi-channel system and need to focus on a 2 channel setup in my limited space.
These are quite large and heavy for “bookshelf” speakers, shipping is possible. Conversely for Sydney buyers I am open to delivery.

PRICE REDUCED 
I have had this preamp nearly two years and it has performed perfectly only selling to downsize my setup. I use it with my Holton 200/300 A/B amp and Altec 511b speakers and has worked flawlessly 
 I believe this is one of Mark Houston’s premium preamps.
 I will also be selling my Altec speakers in the near future.

Fabulous 6SN7 pre-amp and separate power supply that was purchased from Mark (@mwhouston) in June 2021. You can read more about it here: https://retro-thermionic.blogspot.com/2019/03/icon-cv-181-z-preamp.html - I paid $1070 for this without tubes. Since owning it I returned it to Mark who upgraded it with Mundrof Silver Oil Capacitors that I supplied (RRP $180) - which took the sound quality up another level again.  
 
I have been using this with a pair of Shugang CV-181Z and it punches WAY above its price point. Compared to my Manley 300B pre-amp (around $12,000 RRP last time i checked) the icon holds up very well - the Manley has a slightly larger soundstage and slightly better separation but considering the size, cost and number of tubes Mark's work speaks for itself. 

** PICKUP ONLY **

Wife wants the living room cleaned up, so out it goes.
FREE Adding in a Yamaha RX-V683 7.2 4K receiver to get you started.
FREE Adding pair of JBL surround speakers in wood grain finish
Basically this is a full home theatre setup without the sub.

Selling a pair of Osborn Loudspeakers plus an Osborn Centre Speaker plus Osborn data-cable plus Spare original bass driver from SEAS. Also throwing in FREE 2 JBL surround speakers and a Yamaha RX-V683 receiver. This receiver will be good to get you started, but you will need something better to get the full enjoyment from these speakers.

This model is originally the Super F4 but looks almost identical to the interlude.
https://www.osbornloudspeakers.com.au/interlude
When I originally purchased these speakers I upgraded the crossover to the one in the Interlude and also upgraded the caps to the best available. These speakers will go up to 120W and weigh over 40kg each. This is a true entry level audiophile speaker. Originally used as part of a home theatre system, you will need a large living room to get the benefit from these speakers, but now that I live in a townhouse and have a cheap receiver, and also have work difficulties I need to downsize. Considering their age these speakers are in excellent condition and finished in Tasmanian Blackwood. Woofer is made in Norway and the tweeter is a Focal. One of the speakers has a indentation mark (pictured) from having something on it in storage, but its barely noticeable.

Also including a spare 8" SEAS driver (See https://www.seas.no) and the original Osborn datalink speaker cable.
https://www.osbornloudspeakers.com.au/osborn-speaker-cables

Also selling a Centre speaker originally called the C1. It looks almost identical to the 1st image on this page.
https://www.osbornloudspeakers.com.au/c3-centre-speaker
Once you get a speaker like this you will realize that 90% of all audio from a movie is through the centre speaker, so this is the most important speaker for home theater. This speaker is 100w and weighs over 30kg. It's solid enough to put a TV and other gear on top of it.

The Center speaker is finished in black vinyl to better blend in with a TV.
Still have the original shipping boxes if you want to take those as well. If you look at the website and look up the retail prices of these items, it's reasonable value for money!

Any questions, please ask.

In mint condition 
Comes with Speakon cable
Power cable
Pick up or view in Rye
 
 
Developing further on the success of the T5, the T7 produces the equal of a 200 watt high-current device driving a larger than 13′ cone.? No question these new REL’s sound very powerful.
The T7 feature true Instrument-Grade-Bracing?, borrowed from the musical instrument industry.? This mechanical bracing is credited with producing a suddenness, impact and dynamics not commonly associated with products in this category.? The energy distribution is further aided by heavyweight solid, aluminium feet that allow this newfound speed and ‘slam’ to more efficiently couple into the room.
The T7 also contains REL’s unique REL D? circuit that allows for direct connections of most Class D main amps to these REL’s high-level input.? Quietly introduced late in the old T series run to obtain the date, REL D? decouples the REL’s input and filter circuits thereby providing a safe, secure and seamless connection to the vast majority of Class D amps extant.

Selling my beloved Legend Kurre 9's.   Second system is being sold and the dedicated music room will now be a study and exercise room. 
 
Purchased new, direct from Legend Acoustics on 29/07/2017. I adore these monitor speakers, they are so accurate and detailed with fabulous PRAT. Believe it or not, these held their own against the Marten Oscar Duos that I once owned - great imaging with fast, deep bass. 
 
It'll be sad to see them go but I have too much hifi equipment and much of it has to go. 
 
These are in fantastic condition, no marks or scratches that I can see. The jarrah veneer is gorgeous and I've kept them in great condition by cleaning them yearly with Mirotone's Spray Glow. The grills are in perfect shape also. 
 
Auditioning available by serious interested parties but only if long term members. 
 
I have the original boxes and instruction manual. 
 
These are pick up only.

The Cayin N6 ii is extremely flexible in that Cayin has made about 5 swapable motherboard, containing various amps and DACs.        THIS sale is for the AKM4497 based 'velvet sound' DAC in the A01 board.           So obviously you'll need to already have an N6 ii.
I ended up finding a much rarer and more expensive A02 board, so my A01 is now for sale.
 
See pics for more details on it's technical performance.
Basically in as-new condition, with all accessories.
