  1. Thanks Ian! I also did a pair of RP 160’s picture below. I’ve tried going down the redesign path with poor results..!!! Just don’t have the equipment required for testing. Now days I just replace valve for value. They take a good week of listening to open up but when they do, wow! It really makes me wonder why some companies don’t at very least use a quality cap for HF, you would expect their buying power be massive so it really wouldn’t be that much of an additional cost, and given the level of detail you get with something decent across the HF it’s kinda a no brainer. I prefer to use Mundorf for a couple of reasons… 1, I have access to a supplier locally in Melbourne, and he is so knowledgeable, James actually takes the time to assist you in purchasing the right product ( this is by far the best reason) and talks you through what range would offer the best returns, not just try sell you the best. James Chen from Soundlabs Group, absolute legend. 2, Mundorf sounds bloody good!
  2. Hi SNA members, I’ve quite the obscure taste, never happy with an off the shelf item (other than my PMC 25/22) so a modifying I will go..!! share some diy mods / upgrades you have done. this is a pair of 2.0 6.2 elacs I’ve recently done..!! They started life in black ash vinyl. Completely rebuilt the crossovers using Mundorf, did a heap of deadening, all positive improvements. Sound heaps better to my ears now.
  3. Item: Primare 34.2 Power Amp Titanium Price Range: 700 to 1200 Item Condition: New or Used Extra Info: looking for a good example of the 34.2 in titanium. Prefer local or VIC however not a dealbreaker. Will look at all power amp options if they are Primare. Please don't forget to report your post as FOUND when possible. (You can delete this text before pressing Submit).
  4. Item: power amplifiers (mono or btl) Price Range: 0 to 1300 Item Condition: New or Used Extra Info: looking for some mono’s or a bridgeable stereo power amp. Minimum 125w into 8ohm, preferably in silver and working with the ability to audition. MELB and surrounding areas would be ideal however not a dealbreaker. Really hoping to find a pair of good used Rega’s or the 1582mk2 rotel. cheers. rob. Please don't forget to report your post as FOUND when possible. (You can delete this text before pressing Submit).
  5. The 6.2 books are good..! I made mine awesome! X/over is Mundorf supreme caps, internal deadening to cabinet, re-wired with 12core cat5e solid braided. Complete front baffle repaint in flat chalk linen white, real Tasmanian Blackwood veneer, custom rear hardwood baffle and KLEI naked harmony posts.! No more 700hz resonating they are notorious for.
  6. External DAC via rca input, in to PMC 25/22 it drive my elacs very well (2.0 6.2) it’s a beautiful amp, I’ve just gone down the valve path amd dual mono’s for some Ss fun. for now it’s not fit for purpose, I want to build a complete separates stack.
  7. Further information: Primare i22 Integrated amp with optional built in DAC. This reputable brand needs no introduction and is widely known for its build quality. This i22 presents as absolute NEW with only one very minor scuff on the top of the unit approximately half way down on left side, honestly you cannot notice this. Will come with full packaging, manual, box, remote, all in pristine condition. Located in Geelong however can deliver to Melbourne if asking price is achieved. this amp is very articulate and clean sounding, multiple inputs so could be great as a TV system with the optical input, or add some power amps to piss off the neighbours!! Will consider swaps and cash either way for Rega Exon3 mono's, Audiolab 8300m mono's, Rotel dual mono, all preferably in silver but ill look at any anything. Won’t entertain low balls, will definitely entertain reasonable offers…!! i22 specs below... Output Power 2x 80W at 8Ω 2x 160W at 4Ω Analogue Inputs 4 pair RCA (L & R) DAC Board (Optional Extra) 1x USB-B input 1x Digital Optical input (1 TOSLINK) 1x Digital Coaxial input (1 RCA jack) Input Impedance 15kΩ Analogue Record Output 1 pair RCA (L & R) Pre Out 1 pair RCA (L & R) Output Impedance RCA 94Ω Frequency Response 10Hz – 20kHz, -0.5dB THD + N < 0.05%, 20Hz – 20kHz, 10W at 8Ω Signal to Noise -95dB Power Consumption Standby 0.3W; Operate: 19W Dimensions (W x D x H) 430 x 420 x 106 mm Net weight 10 kg Gross weight 12.5 kg Photos: PLEASE READ If you include any reference to pricing whatsoever in this section (excluding RRP), your ad will not be approved If you are advertising multiple items, you must post one bulk price only, or post seperate ads for each item If you don't include photographs of the actual item being sold, your ad will not be approved You understand that upon successful sale of your item it is expected you pay Seller's Fees. - if you have previously sold items and not made a contribution, your advertisement may not be approved.
  8. They are exceptionally good, don’t think you can do better for the price..!!!
  9. I’d also entertain trades, currently looking for the below items, happy to swing cash either way if required. Rega Exon 3 mono’s Audiolab 8300m (125w version) mono’s in silver but that’s just being fussy..!!! ifi stream speaker cables, purist audio, Kimber, or anything of similar value to my ask. Good dac, upto or around my ask price. PM some options if you like, and let’s see how we go.
  10. Further information: I thought I would never sell this amp, and I’m sure that one day I’ll most likely regret the sale..!! Up for grabs is a fairly rare Quasimodo by Richard McDonald, rated at 20wpc and classic class a/b. I was told by the previous owner that if the volume knob stays below 11am it will remain in class a, (I have no way to verify this claim and simply offering information that I received) IMHO this amps rating is conservative, very conservative!!! Best paired with efficient books, sounded incredible with my RP 600’s super detailed lots of bottom end punch and nice stage. This combo was on the warm side of neutral but only just enough to smooth out any edges. I usually ran this with a small valve pre and it was a songbird..!! I’m told these lower power rated iterations were amongst the better sounding offerings by Richard. Condition and presentation is immaculate, have a box that it came with and packaging so shipping will be easy. does not come with a power cord however I could make one if you are interested? make no mistake this is a killer little amp, I’ve just gone down the tube rabbit hole and would like some extra cash to fund that. also looking for swaps, see comments below this ad. These amps are almost impossible to find any specs on and even more difficult to find here so…… 20wpc, 4 RCA inputs, point to point wired, alps volume pot, 4 binding posts and that’s about all I can offer. will also throw in 10mt of Amber 8 bi wire sc worked well with this amp, the cable is not terminated. thanks for looking, feel free to ask any questions as long as they are not spec related..!!! cheers!

  11. These are incredible, hours of listening, zero fatigue, big sound, incredible balance and composure. I could go on and on and on!!!! If anyone is interested in a book that punches well into the 12to15k dollar range look no further than these.
  12. I can solve that horn also..!! I have modded my crossovers, and done complete sound deadening and bracing..!! Also KLE binding posts and internal wiring. Shoot me a DM so we can discuss.
  13. Hey bud, I did a real timber veneer on mine, can do almost any colour (stain) or timber your “interior decorator” will approve of..!!!
  14. Further information: great little dac, can also be used as a headphone amp. Has seen very little use and still presents as new. Screen not showing any signs of bleeding.
