I just purchased the AudioQuest NightHawk Carbon at a closeout price of $299 USD in the U.S. The original price here was $699 USD, so the new closeout price is 3/7 of the original. The packaging was new with the NH Carbon, and so well packaged that it would survive severe moisture and humidity for 100 years or so. The sound is the same as the original NH, i.e. dull and cavernous due to the combination of lower-mids emphasis and mid-treble recess. Fortunately, when EQ'd properly the NH sounds marvelous. http://dalethorn.com/Photos/Audioforge/Audioquest_Nighthawk.jpg (Note: EQ curve is the inverse of a freq. response curve) About a year ago I also purchased the NightOwl Carbon, hoping for a better sound, but it was even worse than the NH. I really have to wonder, given the massive promotion by AudioQuest for these headphones and their designer (Skylar-somebody), whether anyone with an appreciation for high fidelity reproduction actually listened to these designs and signed off on them. I have my doubts.

Item: Netgear Nighthawk R8000 X6 AC3200 router Location: Melbourne SE Price: $180 + postage (if required) Item Condition: Excellent Reason for selling: No longer required Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: This unit was bought a year ago, but was only used for 6months with an old Netgear cable modem. It was packed away for a move and was just recently recovered :). At the new place,Telstra provided an ADSL Gateway Max modem with 2.4 & 5Ghz wifi. The 6x antennas, WiFi strength and range just c#$p's over the Gateway max and will suit bigger houses/double storey living areas. I have the original box, receipt, power pack and CAT5e cable that came with it. I can post it if required, if you pay for shipping. Pictures:

Item: Ray Samuels Nighthawk F117 Phono Amp Location: Melbourne Price: $500 Item Condition: Excellent Reason for selling: Downscaling my gear collection Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: Hi there, After several years of loyal service, I am reluctantly moving this excellent amp on. I don't think I need to speak to much about the quality of this piece equipment - it's bloody awesome. This particular unit is in great condition, has been used minimally in a smoke free home. Battery feels like it's still holding it's charge like the day I bought it. Happy to answer any questions. Oh, I realise I forgot to photograph the Charging unit! But don't worry, I have it. And if you really need a photo of it I'm willing to break my back bending over the back of my hi-fi shelves, battle my way through the deadly tangle of cables, and retrieve it for a photo shoot. Actually, I have to do that anyway for when it's sold, so I suppose I should just man up and do it now.... Photos:
