Closet Cleaning Blowout!

Audio Research manual (new) for EC-22 crossover. They made fewer than 100 units of this model! It was the only solid-state one they made.: ($13 firm).
 
Acoustic Research replacement turntable motor for AR-ES-1 (& other AR models)—this is the 120-volt motor manufactured by Merrill as an upgrade with the quieter stainless-steel spindle. Never used: ($75 firm).
 
AudioQuest CV-8 speaker cable, 8-feet, single-wire, gold spades, 72-volt DBS, never used, new in box: ($325 firm).

AudioQuest CV-8 speaker cable, 2.5-meter (8&1/3 feet), single-wire, silver bananas, 36-volt DBS, used very slightly, with original box: ($225 firm).

Cardas myrtle wood cuboids with Cardas logo. 12 large size for $80. 8 small size for $40. (firm.)

Merrill “Heirloom” turntable subchassis drilled at Merrill for Graham 1.5 tonearm, so it has the “racetrack” hole. Barely used: ($200 firm).

Grado headphone earpads—new, never used. Fit SR-125 through RS-1’s: ($15 firm).

Nagaoka A-MP-11 replacement stylus. Never used: ($40 obo).

Martin Logan speaker spikes, 10 in all, never used. Superb for use on other speakers too. I bought 6 for satellites & 4 for sub, but then machined my own spikes for satellites and scored some Merrill “Elephant Feet” for the sub (eat your heart out, MapleShade owners). These spikes are black, thread size is 1/4” by 20 which is the most common size in the industry; but note: threaded insert length is 3/4” long, which is longer than on most spikes. Spike height, not counting thread, is 1&1/2” total. I presume that if you are looking at this ad then you know what these spikes look like, but be reminded that the entire threaded shaft coupling down to the point extends through a larger housing which is 1&1/4” in diameter. Will not split set of 10 ($200 obo.)
 
2 coffee mugs with piano key design (not identical; one is primarily black, the other primarily white, and one of these is from W. Germany). ($40 firm for both).

Tara Labs “Pandora” 1/2-meter interconnect terminated with Cardas AGMO, never used ($85 firm).

Tara Labs Master “Generation I” 3-foot interconnect terminated with Cardas AGMO ($100 firm).

Apature 10-foot interconnect, terminated with Cardas AGMO—this is the blue/red “linear-synthesized” cable—never used but no box ($300 firm).

Mission 775 turntable, barely used, dustcover etc. in great shape, has original center weight and belt, manual, and original box, no tonearm but original tonearm mount for 774 tonearm remains installed; local pickup only ($150 firm).

AudioQuest locking RCA’s, used, have several dozen ($10 pair obo).

AKG K-340 Electrostatic Dynamic Systems headphones. This is the fabled one. Coil cord is in fine shape, set needs new elastic “adjustors,” great sound—not as detailed as Grado, not as dynamic as new AKG, not as warm as Beyerdynamic, not as comfortable as Sennheiser, but no other headphone sounds so much like speakers in front of you instead of cans on your head. I am selling only because I never use them: ($250 obo).

Audio-Technica AT-618 “Disc Stabilizer” turntable center weight—this is the real one made of stainless steel and rubber, not one of the several clones. Weight: 21 oz. or 600 grams. Great shape except for some small dings toward bottom center made by bumping spindle when placing the weight down. ($75 firm.)

All prices firm where noted, and “obo” where noted. However, will consider trades for tweaks or cables as long as you understand that I have the right to politely decline. (Interested especially in Acoustic Zen Gargantua PC, Audioquest Volcano 8’ speaker cable w/ gold bananas, all Audio Research wire, all Kubala-Sosna wire, all Magnan Audio wire, Cardas Golden Reference ICs or old Cardas Hexlink PCs.) Please note that all prices above include insured shipping in the 50 States & Canada.

Please send queries directly to me at: sudbaum@sbcglobal.net since I then am likely to respond sooner. Thank you.

Hi-Do you have a model # on the locking Audioquest RCA's? Thanks!

I'm sorry it has taken me this long to respond to you. The AudioQuest RCA's do not have a model number such as, for example, the WBT's. AudioQuest only made one model, and it was made for about 10 years. They have an 11mm opening which after about 3/8" tapers to the standard 9mm opening. I switched to a nonlocking type because at age 61 I've gotten too much arthritis in my hands.

If you remain interested, would you please contact me at my regular email: sudbaum@sbcglobal.net and I'll likely get back to you sooner.
