Original info when I bought the Cartridge, I have put approx 50 hours max on the cartridge
https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649653171-zu-audio-dl-103-mk-ii-standard-grade/
"I bought this new, directly from Zu Audio in April 2016. It was professionally retipped in July 2018 with a Namiki Diamond/MicroRidge, Boron cantilever. This was professionally installed on a Technics 1200G and used sparingly. I'd estimate less than 300 hrs use with many hundreds more left for enjoyment."
"I bought this cartridge here in September 2020, and used it for ~100 hours. Basically a catch and release. Original sale ad is in the info link for total transparency. Pretty low hours on a great boron cantilever and Namiki microridge diamond stylus. The cartridge sounds fantastic. The ONLY reason I moved on is because I ran across a deal on a Soundsmith, which I've always wanted to try on my VPI Classic. No
removed email for privacyes with paperwork and the original case, box and stylus guard"

Get some Boiled Linseed Oil, or Murphys soap, or even some lite Old english oil and wipe down all the wood surfaces to clean them up. making sure the top of the one will actually come clean, and the lines on them will come off. You can not hurt the wood or the finish by cleaning them with the above. That way you are not assuming they will cleanup. If the one top is water stains (which is what the pictures make it look like) you will have a hard time selling them for 2K. Cleaning them up will take away all doubt for you and potential buyers.
To Check that all drivers are actually working get a paper towel or toilet paper cardboard tube (The inner tube of either) play the speakers, hold the tube to your ear and then up to each drivers horn individually. you will know immediately if all the drivers are indeed working as intended
Also your add mentions a Buy it Now but you do not actually offer one.
Good Luck with your sale

Bought this simply to compare to my current Welborn Star Chiefs. Simply Put the star chiefs have higher gain which benefits my setup better.
Backstory: When the Had was shipped to me Fedex got happy with the package and broke off the Power switch, they also caused a crack in the chassis (Imagine that cracking a metal chassis) SEE PICS
The Power switch was replaced, the amp has played fine for several hours with ZERO Issues now. Looking inside the amp it is perfect, A tribute to Dennis Hads excellent build quality. A lesser amp would have been toast.
As I already have 45 mono blocks and a 71a amp I have the SET angle covered, what I feel like I am lacking is a good PP amp either integrated or straight power amp I am not set on exactly what I am looking for.
The Dennis Had new 45 offerings are selling on ebay for 2200.00 and up, I figure the value here is somewhere in the neighborhood of 1250.00 I will sell it outright but prefer to trade.....................So check the pics the amp looks EXACTLY LIKE THE PICS DEPICT except for the power switch which was replaced. PIcs are the actual amp offered
The crack in the chassis is on the rear of the amp and can not be seen from the front or top (you must look from the rear to see it and even then it takes some close inspection, I actually missed it at first. Only saw it because of the power switch issue)
If a deal is made I promise you the amp will be bomb proof packed, they would have to drop it off a building or run over it............

Anyone know a dealer that carries 45, or 71a tubes.

Another great build and writeup Maynard. If I didn't have powered Klipsch computer speakers I use for very near-field, I'd be building this.
Now what's it going to take to get you to design a really, really, really good phone pre with LOMC ?☺️
Try this on for size Marty, I got mine a few days ago it sounds great

Pretty sure this is the DAC I heard at Tims place when I picked up my Samson rack. It sounded very nice I did not hear any grain or etch. Metrum is known for using a lot of proprietary bits that they themselves develop. IOW they know what they are doing when it comes to DAC's
Tim's room and gear was immaculate and obviously well cared for
I just got a new R2R DAC or I would be all over this one, Good Luck with the Sale Tim

I had Edgar Horn Titans some years ago and I can say IMHO they are a great speaker. If I had a big enough room I would make the Trip to TX
Hard to believe 2 sets have popped up in such a short span....................They are fairly rare on the used market

The amps were sent back to Steve for upgrades and wired internally for mono operation. The amps are 100% functional, I will include 1 quad of 6p15p and 1 quad of 6p14p I will also include 2 pair of the 6n1p driver tubes and a pair of vintage Chy Military Sylvania 5y3 straight glass Rectifiers. If someone were to desire the amps could be taken back to stereo But why would you want to do that...............Price is 1050.00 plus shipping and fees if any
The Rectifiers shown in the pictures are NOT included in the sale, you will get the tubes listed
Amps started life as SE84 C and were upgraded by Decware to CKC as well as doing the internal wiring for mono operation. Amps could be taken back to stereo if desired

The coworker I mentioned a couple weeks ago sat next to me and ate lunch the day after he returned from his flight but before he exhibited symptoms. And I have yet to exhibit symptoms. I'd say the J&J serum is effective.
Why did he cough or spit on you ?

I have a large stash of tubes and I would REALLY LOVE to sell as a LOT so offering a big discount to anyone that takes the LOT..............I priced the tubes reasonably BELOW what appears to be the going rates. I buy all my tubes as STRONG Or NOS ONLY........No pig in a poke types here. I do not have a tester that will tell me values like those TV7 etc... I have posted what I think I would sell individually here again these figures are below going rates. At my prices I come up over 1K for the tubes. I will sell the LOT for 600.00 plus the shipping.
