    I'm considering going all out bonkers on a turntable setup worthy as passing on as an heirloom, therefore I am selling some stuff. Everything is priced to sell. It's not matter of maximum dollar. I want to make sure you guys can enjoy this stuff. Also, I enjoy killing resale prices in the headphone hobby. HF'ers pay way too much for used gear.

    Shipping is extra. CONUS at this time. My preference is that you send me the shipping slip because I am lazy and will otherwise go the UPS store to get the common man rate. In this latter situation, I don't mind splitting the shipping costs if you are super nice to me and are actually good are making friends and influencing people.

    Lowther DX-3 (pair) Full Range Drivers $750
    Super resolving full range driver.

    VPI Classic 1 (early version) $1600
    I don't mind hanging on to this a bit longer if somebody wants me to sort of reserve it for them. Lots of good JuJu has gone into this table. It belongs in a good home.




    Schiit Ragnarok $900 SOLD
    At this price, you will find no better amp for orthos.

    Sonic Frontiers SFD-1 DAC SE+ upgraded (with Philips 6922 vintage tubes) $1000 SOLD
    UltraAnalog based DAC. Think PCM1704, but done right, and with a Sonic Frontiers 6DJ8 output stage. Upgraded by PartsConnexion / Chris Johnson (of Sonic Frontiers). Obviously no USB. Get a Mutec or cheap iDSD nano or micro to convert USB to SPDIF. Also has AES inputs.

    Sennheiser HD650 $300 SOLD
    Modded and 4-pin XLR terminated.

    It's yours. You were #1. This is your good karma for accepting the UCLA Brony avatar. I thought you were in SoCal. I guess you are up in the Bay Area now.

    Yea, I've gotten some interesting PMs. Who knew there was such an underground community! Either way, I just laugh every time I see it.

    Somebody, grab that VPI Classic 1. If you are in Socal, I will help you set it up with any cartridge of your choice and we can enjoy a few record spins together as well on it.

    Good to know, as I recently broke the door cover to the SPDIF on the back of PC & the SPDIF cable can barely stay plugged in. :)

    You have seriously got to be one of the most helpful dudes on this forum, always volunteering your time to help people setup their turntables, I can't even count how many times I've seen you write something similar...just one more thing that makes this forum awesome, and I'll be buying you a beer if we ever end up at a meet together man, keep it up.

    If you get an SDS, it won't matter. You can get perfect speed, and I BELIEVE it works world wide.
