AV's Ended Bazaar!

Setup mostly rejiggered. Selling off a few more things.

As usual, prices include shipping but not paypal. Gift or add 3% to cover fees. Sale priority given to Friends & Members of long-standing and high activity, otherwise items are first come/first served. Photos available on request but descriptions pretty well cover condition.

1. Meier Corda Rock - $100 [third price drop]. Black case, in new condition with original box and documentation. I bought it because I wanted to see what a Meier amp was like. It's a really nice budget amplifier. There's a review of it by Skylab over at Innerfidelity - you don't see many of these on this side of the pond. Looking for a cheap nightstand amp? A gift for a friend who's getting into the hobby? Hell, maybe you're just curious and want to try one out like I did. [Dropped the price down to $100 shipped because I think it would be a great amp for someone looking for an entry level solid state amp.]

**. IC (for when it arrives): Geek Out V2+ - $280. I don't intend on using this. I have an Oppo PM-3 + iPhone 6S plus is going to be my portable setup for the foreseeable future. Including a 3.5 mm to XLR interconnect for using the balanced out. LH has changed the anticipated delivery date yet again from the first week of April to 4th week of May. What the f'ing fuckity f**k f**k Light Harmonic? Buying from Light Harmonic is like doing business with a character from a Terry Gilliam movie.

--------------------------------------------------------

1. Bottlehead Crack + Speedball - $470 (SOLD to Mori39, who is new here but asks very good questions). Really gorgeous custom build with a walnut finish with painted detailing & new knob. You can see photos of it here, the original listing where I purchased it from Matt. As nice as those pictures look, it looks even better in person. Internals and tubes are stock, with the exception of having the resistor mod so that you can actually turn the volume knob without deafening yourself. Comes with a right angle power cable.

2. Valhalla 2 - $250 (SOLD - Tube goodness on its way to a44100Hz). In great shape, comes with stock tubes only (no power cable). Purchased originally from MisterRogers, who also takes great care of his gear. Ships in its original Schiit box.

3. Leckerton UHA 6S MKII with 4627-1B Opamp - $195 (SOLD - Re-homed to Merrick). Black finish, casing in nearly perfect condition. Volume knob is neither too loose, nor too tight. Battery holds a charge perfectly. Only used at my desk and never on the go. Originally purchased from Sphinxvc, who sold it to me in beautiful shape. Amplifier only, no cables or original packaging.

4. Apex Glacier - $185 (SOLD to Ravi!). Amplifier is in beautiful condition, with a few minor casing scuffs and scratches. All front printing is intact and the battery holds a full charge. Amplfier only, no cables or original packaging.

5. Schiit Mjolnir - $365 (SOLD to Dalton324, who gets a great amp at a crazy price!). An OG Mjolnir with balanced outputs only. (Single ended and balanced inputs accepted, however). It's a monster of a balanced amplifier for the price. Ships in original box and comes with power cable.

6. ALO RX Mk3B - $325 (SOLD to Merrick, who now has a surplus labor force of amps). I really am going to regret selling this in the future and I know it. That said, it's better if someone else who is going to use it has some use out of it. This is a damn near new ALO RX Mk 3B. How damn near new? Well, I'll post photos of it at the bottom of this post. These are not stock or manufacturer product photos: this is the actual unit. I lucked into a pretty much unused, like new in box unit a few months back. This is without a doubt the best portable amplifier I've ever used - and it's better than most desktop amps I've used as well. Comes with charger, original box and paperwork, and ALO rubber bands still sealed in their plastic.

7. Oppo PM-3 - $295 (OFF MARKET, Selling the Sine instead). Formally Greed's, if I recall correctly. (I've owned them three times at this point but I'm pretty sure he's the last one I bought them from). Black model, in great shape. Comes with original box, packaging, denim case, long cable, and short android cable.

8. Audeze Sine - $345 (SOLD to Koth!) - standard cable, like new with original box and materials. I overestimated just how well I'd acclimate to the clamp against my glasses. I just can't get them comfortable. Ultimately, sticking with the PM-3s because of this. The Sine sound better than the PM-3, but they're just not comfortable on me.

9. Sennheiser Amperior - $105 (OFF MARKET, keeping them for an extra beater headphone). blue cups, in excellent shape with all original materials and box. I recabled these with an HD25-II cable and cable clamp so that I wouldn't have to deal with the stupid stock cable. I'm including the stock cable in there as well, so you can switch back if you want.

10. Sennheiser HD650 (Quarter Modded, Spider Removed, Dynamat Modded) - $285 (SOLD to Ziva's Torpedo). God help me, time to fully commit to the Cult of the HE-6. Incredibly good sounding, scales like a beast, resolves like a champ...all the good things. Comes with original box and packaging, as well as two cables: a stock HD650 cable and an XLR reterminated HD650 cable for balanced usage. This pair was purchased a little under 4 months ago, so pads are still in good condition. Was going to keep it around for a second set for wife listening, but she prefers listening on speakers to listening on headphones.

11. Marantz PM7001 Integrated Amplifier (Mint Condition) - $315 (SOLD to the Pooch!). The Marantz PM7001 is a fantastic entry-level integrated amplifier that uses trickle down design from one of their older (and IMO one of their best) flagship amps. Clear and crisp sounding without being overly warm. Solid impact and extension. Unfortunately, its 28 lbs and far too big for my current desk setup. I'm either going to have to move to a high-power headphone amplifier *or* a smaller pre-amp and stick a power amp under my desk. In either case, this unit won't work for space constraints. Shipping on this badboy is included in the price and will cost me at least $50.

 

Always in the back of my head wanted to try building my own, but holy cow that Crack+Speedball is gorgeous

 

Everything here is a SMOKIN' deal.. Goodness!

 

That's one stellar looking crack!

 

PM'ed you about the Leckerton!

 

And reply sent!

 

Leckerton sold. Mjolnir is now added to the list.

 

Valhalla 2 sold. Mjolnir, gorgeous Bottlehead Crack, and Corda Rock remaining as first come/first served. Glacier held for Ravi until I hear from him or 48 hours passes.

 

No worries Totally cool.

 

Dammit, I should messaged you last night about that Valhalla 2

 

Glacier sold to Ravi. I'll take an extra $20 off on both the Mjolnir and the Bottlehead Crack, and $10 off on the Corda Rock, for anyone who buys them before tomorrow at 12:00 Chicago Time (Central Time Zone). Would be nice to only have to make a single trip to the post office with all these.

 

$345 for the Mjolnir is INSANE!!!

Too bad I sold most of my planars...

 

Mjolnir sold. Post office closed up a bit early today (understaffing due to the Easter holiday). All packages will go out Monday afternoon! (Lower prices on the Bottlehead Crack and Corda Rock available through the weekend).

 

Crack + Speedball sold. Corda Rock is the last thing available, and if you want to play around with it you can have it for $120 shipped

 

Bump for the latest update.

 

Damn it Austin, I just got the Leckerton and now you got me wanting that ALO!

What's the difference between the B you have and the B+ on ALO's website?

 

The plus has a tiny bit lower noise floor with IEMs and slightly more battery life. That's it!

 

I just PM'ed you, who knows what will come of it?

 

ALO RX Mk3 Sold. PM-3 and Corda Rock remain, as well as an IC/reserve for my Geek Out V2+ & balanced adapter (when it gets here).
