Timos Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 Moderators, please delete if this is inappropriate. Item: Speakers and an amplifier with an optical input/dacPrice Range: I'm asking for items to be donated and I'm willing to place a donation to SNA out of my sickness allowance. An honest plea.Item Condition: New or UsedExtra Info: I am a long time SNA member and have bought and sold many items. Please check my profile if you wish to investigate. I am a teacher from Canberra and have just about had enough of not having a stereo system. I've recently sold my beautiful setup so that i could prevent foreclosure on my house, however this looks like it was pretty much useless. I'm asking if people have it in their hearts to donate a pair of speakers and an amplifier with a dac, or an amp with a separate dac to help me through this difficult stage. You will be able to see the different iterations of my setups in my profile as well. I understand that this is a bit of a long shot and that i am likely falling on - pardon the pun - deaf ears. But i assure that I will repay the generosity when i return to work after my case is heard at the AAT and if I am or I am not successful. A horrible position to be in, but one that i would love to help someone else out of, if and when i get out of this hole. Most sincerely, Tim. Please don't forget to report your post as FOUND when possible. (You can now delete this text). 1
Martykt Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 Sorry to hear you're down and out at the moment @Timos. Keep in there, things will turn around. Fraid I can't help with the audio stuff but hope you get through this bad time okay. 1

Hopefully your situation turns around soon. 1
Cafad Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 Depression, mate that sucks. I had a mild hit of that a few years ago and it was terrible, I can only imagine how nasty a more-than-mild dose of it may be. Got you covered for the amp mate. Will you be needing a remote at all? 19
BATMAQN Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 I can hook you up with a decent set of speakers mate. 18
Snapper() Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 Give me a day .. and i might be able to sort out an excellent amp with builtin dac and remote (tbc)Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk 4
Bronal Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) I have an LFD Zero (sorry no DAC) and a Cambridge Azur CDP if you're interested. I'm in Monash. Edited June 27, 2017 by bronal 7
Happy Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 If all fails i have an old yet fully working amp i can send to you at my costSent from my iPad using Tapatalk 8
Timos Posted June 26, 2017 Author Posted June 26, 2017 @Cafad and @BATMAQN thanks so much. and no, i don't need a remote. I have a logitech that i can program if needed. Tim. 1
Timos Posted June 26, 2017 Author Posted June 26, 2017 Thanks so much for the support. I busted my bum carrying the stuff out of my place after i sold it and it's so nice to have so much support. The paradigm 100's and the sub 12 were not back breaking, but just awkward. 1

rantan Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 @Timos I can empathise 100% with you as I have ongoing battles with the Black Dog. However I am far more fortunate than you and have a modest but comfortable home situation. I have a pair of Monitor Audio Silver 5, which are a slim and compact floor standing speaker that are not currently in use and I would be delighted to let you have them for as long as you wish, even permanently. The minor issue is that I am in Adelaide and have no boxes but I am sure I could arrange suitable packaging through a good mate @Grizzly I would really like for you to have these so please let me know if you would like them and I will get things going ASAP All the very best mate. 6
Snapper() Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 Ok .. I have a Yamaha RN 301 i purchased off here a little while ago with no firm plans. This is a (wired) network amp, spotify etc with remote and barely made it out of the box it came in. Welcome to it. Unsure of what else is being put up - but if this suits better than others, just PM me with details and i'll post it. - SP 4
Cafad Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 Sounds like you might be spoilt for choice here Tim. I have several amps you are welcome to but the one I was thinking of is a YBA Heritage A100, the companion amp to my cd spinner. http://a1futureshop.com.au/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=663 There's no built in DAC so a separate one will be needed. 2

Thats a very generous offer from Rantan those will be a lot nicer than the speakers I had in mind but I can probably help out with something else or you can still have the speakers as well. 1
shaky Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 I have cables if you need them. Just let me know. It'd be nice for one Tim to help another. 1
Timos Posted June 27, 2017 Author Posted June 27, 2017 @rantan that sounds amazing. I am interested - no - I would like to take you up on this offer. if you could pm me I will help arrange the details. Thanks so much.

That looks like a wicked amp @Cafad I am sure I could source something to serve the digital side.
