EDITED.....resorted the list below and adjusted for items sold already....
Hi everyone,
I haven't posted in entirely too long. Long story as short as my longwinded nature can make it, I've spent the last few years in medical hell. Too many surgical procedures, physical therapy, pain and agony. I had to close my former audio business while this has been going on as I was just not physically capable of doing it to the level of quality that I expected of myself and I would want customers to expect.
When I closed the business, I didn't liquidate all the leftover inventory of equipment. I suppose part of the reason why I didn't try to find someone else to sell the stuff for me was I was secretly holding out hope I might be able to recover one day and re-open. I was deluded and stubborn enough to think that if I just had one more surgery or a few more months of physical therapy, or even just a few more months of healing, I’d show those doctors they were wrong and I could eventually open the business back up and go on as if everything was just like normal. Well, I finally had to admit that there is just no way I could physically continue.
As all too many Americans know, even with good health insurance, if something serious were to happen to you or a family member, the cost of ongoing treatment and medicines and any procedures needed will very quickly nearly bankrupt you and make your life savings take a beating. Add in having to build or renovate a home for all the things needed to make it truly wheelchair accessible and that will pretty much finish you off. Welcome to my life over the past couple years.
Sooooo, that brings us to the point of this post in trading post. The equipment I would like to now finally sell is the leftover assets of the former business. Honestly, its the only thing I have left of any real value that I can sell to create a bit of a nest egg to help pay for continuing physical therapy, my medications, doctor bills, and the inevitable next surgical procedure I have to undergo.
I know commercial ads are frowned upon, but i consider this a personal ad at this time since the business no longer exists. I just want to get the word out there to be able to sell this stuff as painlessly as possible and offer folks some deals and raise as much capital as I can for said bills already described. if this still violates the rules, please accept my apologies and I guess delete this and I'll just rely on posts on other sites. Thank you for your consideration.
The big running list of stuff I have to sell off is below. Please note that anything listed as Demo items or used items I would prefer you assume it is in "fair" condition on the grading scale. In reality, everything should be "as new" or "mint" with near perfect physical condition. However, I'd rather under promise and over deliver than get into a debate about missing a surface rub on the underside of the chassis that you have to angle the piece at just the right angle under a spotlight to see.
If there are any specific questions, please ask via PM or send an email to htdoc11 at yahoo dot com. Thanks for your consideration. Please bear with me on response times. I've got some family members and some friends helping me get stuff shipped promptly if something actually sells. But any pre-sale questions or any specific inquiry I'll need to handle and I cant do this 18-20 hours a day anymore. I'm lucky some days to be able to do anything at all up to maybe a few hours a day if I'm able to focus enough and not in complete agony. Thanks in advance for your understanding.
Paypal, Zelle, wire transfer, USPS money orders are likely primary payment methods. If you are willing to wait for it to clear, old fashioned checks can be arranged. The prices below do not include shipping costs or fees for any of the payment methods.

1 Auralic Taurus MKII reference headphone amplifier and fully balanced linestage preamplifier New, Sealed $1,899.00 40% $1,139.40
1 Auralic Taurus MKII reference headphone amplifier and fully balanced linestage preamplifier - I *really* don’t want to sell this one. Its very neutral and transparent. So if looking for tube love, this isnt it… but it is a refernce level headphone amplifier that has amazing resolution and detail, amazing capability to resolve soundstage queues for a headphone amplifier... this hangs with wildly more expensive headphone amplifiers than the MSRP, forget my sale prices. Demo / Used $1,899.00 50% $949.50
1 Auralic Vega Digital Audio Processor - DAC and preamplification - reference level piece that punches waaaaaay above its price. Again, Auralic products lean towards the balanced, neutral, resolution side of things. But never shrill or harsh or hot on the top end. If you put that kind of sounding gear around it, it will let that come through. its just that resolving. But it wont do that kind of thing on its own. This DAC hangs with a lot of stuff double and triple its MSRP. It just plays anything you throw at it and gets out of the way of the music and shows you exactly what the rest of your system sounds like. Demo / Used $3,499.00 50% $1,749.50

1 Devialet 120 - until now I haven't put any kind of a note on this at all because the devialet amps shouldn't need any introduction… if your speakers are SAM measured, this should be the easiest purchase you ever make to get something that sounds this amazing, has this much capability to be as simple as a ROON endpoint to stream, to a stand alone beast of a unit to drive your speakers and, if SAM filter applied, play full range 20Hz flat amazement out of your existing speakers and make them sound like you never thought possible... I've heard this amp and Tannoy, Harbeth, Enigmacoustics Mythology, and many others and it is just the epitome of reference level sound that is fast, PRAT and real sounding Demo / Used $6,495.00 60% $2,598.00

1 Lumin M1 streamer/integrated amplifier - you *have* to hear how amazing LEEDH volume algorithm is as processing and attenuating volume but yet still letting more of the origianl data come through… amazing demo - this unit is just killer… getting the streaming capability of Lumin with a great amplifier built in... Lumin has won me over all over again with testing the LEEDH and seeing what it is capable of... this should be mandatory purchase with one of the Harbeth models of speakers for sale in package that is just killer combo. Add your music files with a cheap NAS running Minim server and you have world class sound for a screaming good deal. I am sorely tempted to pull this back and keep it and some more of the Harbeth speakers and figure out how to convince the better half that we need more stereo setups in the house, not just in my stereo room
New, Sealed $2,995.00 45% $1,497.50
1 M2Tech Marley Pure Class A Headphone amplifier Demo / Used $1,995.00 70% $598.50
2 M2Tech Van Der Graaf linear power supply - can power 9V and 15V units with existing switching external power supplies.. This is *very* good at what it does and if you have multiple units that can benefit from this unit, being able to power up to 4 units at the same time will make this an unbeatable value. this is better sounding than the Sbooster units that I also love and have often demoed for folks New, Sealed $995.00 50% $497.50
1 M2Tech Young DSD DAC/preamp - 1 unit is sold, 1 unit still available. Best hidden gem out there. LOVE the sound of this. Can not ever pry my demo unit away from me. Yummy sounding New, Sealed $1,699.00 60% $679.60
1 Mr. Speakers Ether Closed Back - demo model with dum cable… few minor rub marks in the "carbon" cups if look really close in the right light.. Do not want to sell these, but will let them go to a good home if convinced
Can be sold with DUM cable or with Wywires RED headphone cable for slight upcharge depending on your preference Demo / Used $1,499.00 60% $599.60
1 Mr. Speakers Ether Open Back - demo model ultra low hours with dum cable… as new can't find any issues on them cosmetically. Can be sold with DUM cable or with Wywires RED headphone cable for slight upcharge depending on your preference Demo / Used $1,499.00 60% $599.60
1 PS Audio Sprout integreated amplifier / DAC / Phono all in one unit - original version NO remote volume Demo / Used $899.99 67% $297.00
1 Pure Audio monoblock amplifiers - pure class A reference solid state monoblock amplifiers. The *only* reason these are for sale is that I also have the stereo amp that I refuse to give up in black chassis. I like the black color compared to the silver color of these monoblocks. These monoblocks are sonically better than the stereo amp, but in the grand scheme of finances, if I can only keep one example between the two, I am keeping the more physically compact option in the color I want and sacrificing these monoblocks. They are truly reference sound in a design that will last for decades given parts choices, circuit design and how they (dont) tax the circuit parts, etc. This is designed to be a destination product, to use for years and decades to come and get off the merry go round of constant upgrades. This pair of amps was the actual physical units used in the glowing review on Part Time audiophile in 2015. Yes, that dates these as to their total age, but as discussed, all this gear has been in their boxes piled to the ceiling in formal dining room and spare room for almost 3 years during my health issues. It had a few hundred hours of use since arriving from the reviewer for part time audiophile and has been in the boxes since 2017 right at the time of my first major surgery and life changes. Unboxed and tested recently and confirmed all glorious as I remembered them to be. Ready for a new home to take your system to the reference levels but at a stupid crazy low price. Demo / Used $15,995.00 70% $4,798.50
2 REL Longbow Gloss Black wireless receiver/transmitter for the S series and other high end subwoofers New, Sealed $299.00 50% $149.50
1 SALE PENDING - VPI Scout turntable - JMW Memorial tonearm - Ortofon Blue Cartridge - stock motor Used $999.99
2 Sbooster 15V linear power supplies - has adapter plugs that make this pretty much universal with any possible input that is on gear out there. This will take your gear using a switching external power supply to a whole other level. Should be a mandatory purchase for anyone with an Auralic Aries Mini. Also a lot of the ADL gear is 15V and loves this unit and makes it world class, and it was pretty amazing on its own... New, Sealed $449.00 $199.00
1 Sennheiser HDVD800 dac/amp New, Sealed $2,199.95 50% $1,099.98
1 Sennheiser IE800 reference in ear monitor headphones - these are the regular IE800 not the IE800S models - I *thought* this might be an open box set as one of the circular stickers had lost some of its stickiness while in the box with other headphones…. When I tried to peel the other side and open the box, I found out these are new in the box and I'd never cut them open before... the second one didn't peel nearly as nicely and opening the box makes it clear these have never ever been opened before until moron me opened them for the first time... so call these brand new in an open box
Open Box but new $799.99 50% $400.00

1 Unison research Unico 50 tube hybrid integrated amplifier - silver - NO LONGER FOR SALE - you had your chance. Now that the Triode 25 and the extra Primo integrated have sold, I just cant do it. I can't be without at least one piece of Unison home hifi... I still will keep one of the SH units for headphone listening and now this Unico 50 stays with me for speaker listening. It was physically painful for me to sell off the other gear for such a financial loss knowing I wouldnt have the chance to listen to it anymore... I can't be without at least one example of Unison gear. There is something about their house sound that I love and their gear is extremely well built and very attractive.. I'll figure out how to pair this integrated with something here

I'll try to separate stuff out into individual ads if that is preferred. I leave it to the moderators to make that call. Thanks again if you allow me to do this to try to help me out. Thank you.
