One amp has the top corners on one end bent, they both have no pitting on the chrome, lettering is clear.  Tubes are included.  See photos for details on the condition.  I am open to offers for local sale only.  Text to 314-532-0095 for questions.

I've got three sets of speakers at I need them out of the house prices. Will let the forum have first crack and then will list for more elsewhere. I'm at the bottom of what I can do unless you want all three in which case, I'll knock off another $100.

Bose 901 Series 1 complete with EQ and Tulip Stands - $500:

These present very nicely and are about the only speakers I've owned that my wife liked the aesthetic. There are some light scratches on the top and dings on the bases of the tulip stands, the latter of which were from vacuum cleaners of the previous owner. I've not tried to repaint the stands or buff out the scratches because these already present very well. Happy to get zoomed in pictures to anyone who wants them.

JBL 4311B - $250:

At the other end is a pair of JBL4311b. They came from the estate of someone who worked in radio and were likely mounted in a station at some point. I intended to restore these, but haven't gotten around to it yet so probably never will. They have bumps and bruises and each has a screw coming out of the side, where I'm assuming they were mounted. This all said, they work. Great for a garage setup or a restoration.

Cerwin Vega 212 - $150:

These have been re-foamed using the CV orange as of a couple years ago. I just never use them. Would be a nice set for someone getting into vintage audio. I can't seem to get the pictures to load for this, but will try again or can send via PM.

For pickup in Creve Coeur area. Please let me know if you have questions.

How's the 2270 sounding? What are you playing it through? 

[Cz606]

It’s great! Plays through the Cornscalas I’ve got set up downstairs. My son loves when we make Mariokart loud

That is awesome! I'm so glad to hear it may live on to have another generation enjoy it!

Here's one pair of modern classic tube pieces!  A way to get into 2/3 of a full tube separate system at a relatively modest cost.

This is a matching pair of Hagerman kits-fully built and operational!  I tested these and had a few happy hours of listening, but decided that I didn't have a permanent place for them in my system.

So, here they are.

The Cornet2 has a useful stereo/mono switch on the front, and comes with a Brimar 13D5 tube in the 12AU7 position and RCA 12AX7s, the Clarinet comes with Telefunken 12AU7s.  Both units have a lot of fancy Auricaps installed, too.  Expensive upgrades!

Both feature real tube-rectified power supplies and power transformers, unlike the switch mode supplies Hagerman uses today.

​The condition is a strong Audiogon 7, as there's a few scrapes and scratches visible, but nothing earth-shattering.  Please note that the knobs on the Clarinet face the opposite of how I'd mount them, but I didn't have any other knobs here to swap.

Asking $850 for both.

LSA VT 150 - $1800
Purchased just eight months ago from Walter at UnderwoodHiFi, the LSA VT-150 is an excellent tube amp, with the added benefit of actually being a two input amplifier. Switchable from RCA and XLR inputs (I'll include a pair of RCA to XLR adapters) allow you to connect two components, making this essentially a two input integrated amplifier.

Power output is 60 WPC up to 80 WPC depending on how you bias the tubes. Biased in the low range, you get longer tube life and a robust 60 watts OR biased high, and get up to 80 watts. Simple biasing by using the VU meters on the front to determine low or high output. Pretty cool feature I've not seen on any previous amps I've owned. Links of praise shown here:

From the manufacturer/distributer Underwood HiFi: https://www.underwoodhifi.com/products/lsa-amplifiers.

Rated 8 because it came with one minor scuff (not a scratch) to the finish on one side that you can't see unless I point it out. Otherwise in perfect condition. Dead quiet, very detailed and, it looks great. A terrific amp for the $$. Read the many glowing reviews online.

Wharfedale Linton 85th Anniversary - $1000 ($1500 new)

Just over one year old in perfect shape, a great pair of affordable "bookshelf" speakers.  Pretty big for bookshelf speakers though at 22.2" x 11.8" x 13.0".  Excellent bass response, great soundstage/imaging.  Overall a typical British sound as expected.  A zillion great reviews. The come with grills not shown (never used).




Why this is sideways I don't know...




40Hz ~ 20kHz
Bass Driver:
8"(200mm) black woven Kevlar® cone
Midrange Driver:   
5"(135mm) black woven Kevlar® cone
Treble Driver:   1" (25mm) soft dome
Sensitivity (2.0V @ 1m):   90dB
Recommended Amplifier Power:   25-200W

I have it set up in my living room until it's sold, so you can come by and listen if you like. I'll also throw in a pair of speaker stands at no cost.  I have two different pairs to choose from.

I'll also be selling the turntable and my BlueSound Node at some point as well.  ALSO, I HAVE ALL THE BOXES FOR THE AMP AND SPEAKERS.

I have two of these AC cords, each is 2 meters long and in excellent condition.  I believe that this model was the top of the line at one point.  They sold new for $899.00 each.  I am asking $350 for both.  They are black with a braided nylon exterior.  Thanks for checking out my ad.  Kent 636-399-8053

!!!! SOLD !!!!

Up for sale is the latest iteration of my system, Mac and B&W (amp, pre and speakers). Everything is in fine shape. No major blemishes, dents or scratches. As I’m heading into retirement, I’m getting back into Single Ended Triodes. I’ve had this system for right at 10 years now and it’s been flawless.

Here are the pieces:
Pre - McIntosh C220 tubed pre with tubed phono
Amp – McIntosh MC452, 450wpc
Speakers – B&W 800 Nautilus, Diamond tweeter, Series 1
(nothing else is for sale)

So, here’s the deal…and it’s a good one. Current market has the Pre at ~$3500, the Amp at $5500, and the speakers at ~$9000. All in, that’s $18k. I’m looking to get $12k to a LOCAL buyer. I WILL NOT ship any of this gear. It’s too damned heavy and is subject to get destroyed in shipping. I am absolutely FIRM in the pricing as it is priced crazy cheap already. If you know Mac gear, it’s the only one out there that doesn’t depreciate, it appreciates, making it a decent audio investment.

If you are a flipper, there is plenty of meat left on the bone. If you are looking to upgrade, you’re getting a killer deal. If you are from out of town, this price makes it worth the drive (think, fly, rent a truck and drive back). Oh, I’ve got the boxes and pallets for the Mac amp and B&W speakers. Not sure I have the original box for the pre. I might. I’ll have to look in the barn. Oh (2), the boxes and packing materials have been stored in my barn. Expect the smells associated with a barn to be on the boxes. I’ve got all the manuals too. I’ll dig those out.

No pets and a non-smoking home. If you are interested, ping me while it’s still up. In the next month or so, I’ll be pulling the system down and commissioning the new SET system. If you decide you want the system, I’ll hire a couple large humans to carry the amp (150#) and speakers (275# each) up from my basement. It took three of us to get them down the basement. After that, they are yours to deal with….sorry, I’m not as young as I used to be.

For Sale -- Schiit Loki Mini 4 band equalizer - silver case. $80  Works great. Only reason I'm selling it is that I've upgraded to their 6 band Lokius model.

[vinyldavid]

DIY Stereo/Dual Mono 300B amplifier.  I was told that it may have issues, but I can't see anything obviously burnt.  Haven't powered it on due to the warning.

$600, comes with two more 300Bs as well as the tubes shown in it.

Three things I am listing here before I list elsewhere:

1) Marantz 8B.  Fully, 100% turnkey restored.  With original box.  Exceptional condition.  I also have a tube cage that goes with it, in the same amazing condition.  During the restoration, it was discovered that one bias pot was bad, and another was installed underneath.  I also have an original Marantz doc that goes with it.  All tubes tested strong.

It is likely that you will never, ever find another nicer one in this town.
$4500












2) Esoteric Audio Research (EAR, Tim DeParavicini) 864 Tube Linestage, full function, with phono stage.  Gone through recently by our own Mike Missel and pronounced excellent.

!!! SOLD !!! is an 8’ pair of Acoustic Zen Double Barrel cables. I’d rate them a 7 or 8 only because the pickiest of people will find some issue and complain about so, a 7 it is. But trust me, they are in fine shape and aren’t torn up. This pair uses heavy, gold plated spades.









Here is the spiel from the manufacturer: The Double Barrel is made exclusively for a full range speaker that can be bi-wired.  With each conductor handling a specific range, the Double Barrel will bring a new resolution and fidelity to your speakers.

Each conductor is specifically designed to add musicality.  For Mid-Hi Pas sone half of the Double Barrel is loaded with 10AWG 6N multi-stranded Zero Crystal copper wrapped in DupontTM TeflonTM.  The other half of the Double Barrel is intended for Low Pass and is loaded with 8AWG 6N multi-stranded Zero Crystal copper wrapped in DupontTM TeflonTM.  Electrical isolation is accomplished by correlating circuit geometries with our exclusive constant Air-Twist.

The Double Barrel possesses an incredibly refined sense of timber.  Instruments and voice are presented with proper weight and body.  Textures are fundamental and organic in their realism, amazing recapturing of ambient cues give a realistic feeling of the air and space around instruments.

Here are a couple nice reviews:
http://www.stereotimes.com/post/acoustic-zen-cables/
https://soundrebels.com/acoustic-zen-absolute-copper-double-barrel-and-gargantua-ii-english-ver/

I used these in my old McIntosh and B&W system and they sounded great. Way better than the cables I was using. Well, I’ve got back to SETs and these behemoths are absolute overkill for the 5.5 watts I’m now pushing.  NOTE – I don’t have the original carry bag these came in. It got lost somewhere.

So, if you’re in the market to try a high end pair of carpet snakes for a reasonable price, now is your chance. These list for $3,000 from the Cable Company. I’m looking to get $900 for the pair. If I’m shipping, plan on around $30 to $40 to get them there. PP fees are the buyers responsibility.

I might consider a trade for a nice LOMC cart, some high end 300b tubes, or maybe a tube based HiRez DAC (where I chip in some bucks).

I am selling custom premium speaker and line level RCA cable.

I am using RF capable professional Carol brand RG59/U for the line level cable. This has a very low capacitance of 20pF/ft and of course excellent braided shielding, as is par for the course for RF cable. The connectors for this are Rean, a Neutrik brand and very high quality. Aluminum chassis and thick gold plating. Very tight fit.
This is as good as you’ll need for line level cable.

The speaker cable is Cable to Go brand, and is 12 gauge oxygen free copper (OFC). Very thick insulation and well separated by fiber for lowest inductance and capacitance. The connectors for these are stackable Neutrik gold plated banana connectors. Also tight fit and thick gold plating. Stackable, so you can run speakers in parallel if you so please without needing a second set of amplifier binding posts, or run a subwoofer from the speaker. Just make sure you have an amp rated for 4 ohms… I use 63/37 tin to lead ratio eutectic Kester brand solder (very difficulty to get cold joints with this solder). For spade connectors, I use Parts express brand which are very high quality.

If you ship connectors of your choice to me, I will solder them on my cable. I have a good bit of experience soldering and working with stereos so I can make sure of a quality product. I have done research on the best quality cable and connectors and these are excellent. I have hundreds of feet of cable so any length is perfectly fine. 12 dollars a foot for line level cable and 18 dollars a foot for speaker cable.

Will ship anywhere in the world. USPS is 4 dollars CONUS.
