alistairm Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I am having a clear out of some decent audio gear. I may add a few more items (time permitting)!. Gotta finish that OA review before Vince tracks me down... Item 1: Audioquest Dragon speaker cables pair, bi-wired 2.4mLocation: SydneyPrice: $2,750onoItem Condition: Excellent. Just re-terminated with banana plugs by Krispy KablesReason for selling: too expensive to use for the subsPayment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD OnlyExtra Info: These are 24 strand pure silver speaker cables, of the type that it's uneconomic for manufactures to make these days. I bought them from the original owner, who purchased them from Guru back in the day. See Guru's quote below from a thread I posted when considering buying them. They are absolutely superb cables, but I can no longer justify having them gather dust. guru said:alistair,as i sold these to george in the first instance and reminded him recently not to sell them as he will never get anything like them again, i'm glad to see him taking my advice. they are an exceptional speaker cable and to replace them would cost in the region of $10000 to $15000 now. better cables are available but start around $25000. Item 2: Avantgarde speaker cables pair - single wired - 4mLocation: SydneyPrice: $2,700 ono (RRP well over $8K)Item Condition: very goodReason for selling: UpgradedPayment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD OnlyExtra Info: I bought these when I got the Trios - they are the same wire used internally. I bought them because they resolved significantly more detail than the Analysis Plus Pure Gold cables I was using at the time. RRP is $7,200 I believe. Demos welcome. They are thin, flexible and a lovely cable both in use and in sound. Item 3: Avantgarde 1.5m RCA interconnects - pure silverLocation: SydneyPrice: $1700 onoItem Condition: very good Reason for selling: upgradedPayment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD OnlyExtra Info: Excellent interconnects, highly resolving, great entry into the world of high end pure silver cables Item 4: Joey Roth Ceramic Speakers & AmplifierLocation: Sydney (can post anywhere in Australia) Price: $400 (RRP $655 from Coem Audio, when available in Australia) Item Condition: New in box. Reason for selling: Bought two pairs and have only deployed one. Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD OnlyExtra Info: Set up, tested & photographed - all working perfectly. Otherwise as new. All the cables are included in the package... just plug in your source and you're away. They really are very attractive small room, kitchen, computer, bedroom speakers. Item 5: Proac Response Tablette 8 Signature ReferenceLocation: Sydney Price: $1,300 Item Condition: Excellent - with original boxesReason for selling: No longer usedPayment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD OnlyExtra Info: Brilliant little speakers that are extremely beguiling - sound much larger than they actually are. Can ship anywhere in Australia. Pictures: Item 6: Shunyata Triton power conditioner (US plugs) with Shuntaya Anaconda 20 amp power cable (Aussie plug), 1.75m (to feed it from the wall) Location: Sydney Price: $6,500 Item Condition:Excellent Reason for selling: I have one more power conditioner than I need and am, reluctantly, considering moving on the ShunyataPayment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD OnlyExtra Info: Bought from Krispy in February 2013, excellent conditionPictures: Item 7: Adam Tensor Delta Active SpeakersLocation: Sydney Price: $5,500 (rrp $14,950)Item Condition: ExcellentReason for selling: Have been using these as desktop speakers (massive overkill), but want a third monitor and it just won't all fit. Also - I have two pairs of these. Payment Method: Cash, Paypal, Direct DepositExtra Info: Wonderful German speakers. These have really grown on me and I find them more or less faultless. Bear in mind that with high quality amplification built in all you need is a source with volume control and a decent pair of stands and you have a high end system. 3 active channels, 250wpc for bass and mids from custom ICE power amps and class A/B for the tweeter. The mid and tweeter are Adam's "X-ART" drivers, being Adam's take on ribbons. I would also consider trades for an exceptional pair of smaller active speakers. Item 8: HiFi tuning fuses, silver x 2, T3.15 ampLocation: Sydney, but can postPrice: $120 for both (I paid $89.95 each for them) Item Condition: new and unusedReason for selling: Not changing the fuses in the Dartzeel Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD OnlyExtra Info:Pictures: Item 9: Pure Evoke 2S DAB+ radio with battery packLocation: Sydney, but can postPrice: $300 (was $699) Item Condition: Very goodReason for selling: Was in the kitchen and I, ahem, upgraded to a more elaborate Focal systemPayment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD OnlyExtra Info: This includes the lithium ion battery pack, which from memory I paid an extra $85 for. In essence, this charges when the thing is plugged in and gives you the freedom to go mobile. I did my research and had some trial and error purchasing when I bought this - sound wise, this was clearly the best small format DAB+ radio. Pictures: Item 10: Quantum QX2 field generator - 1 UNIT ONLYLocation: Sydney, but can post anywhere. Price: $1250 (SOLD)Item Condition: Good - unit has some minor scuff marks on the bottom right - clearly visible in the photos. Reason for selling: A bit reluctant... if they don't sell I'll take them to the work system. To be honest, the only reason for sale is that when you're running $4-5K power cables the cost of the extra power cable to run these hurts. Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD OnlyExtra Info: These work... especially good on digital sources. They also have a switch on the back where you can turn the module on or off (it still passes power when off) which allows you hear the benefits pretty clearly.
