    FS: RF-7’s, RC-7, RS-7’s - Black Ash

    in Garage Sale

    Posted

    Greetings folks,

     

    I have my home theater system for sale.

     

    2x Black RF-7’s, absolutely pristine, cones are perfect...with grills, no pegs broken.  Custom cut glass tops for both, AND DeanG crossovers to tame the beasts.

     

    Black RC-7, cones perfect, couple of marks on the bottom, grills perfect.  ALSO with DeanG crossover, to match the fronts.  Great center.

     

    2x Black RS-7’s, one corner a little mashed, see photos.  Mash not visible as it is covered by screen grill, which are excellent. Cones great.

     

    I would like to sell as a group, prefer pick-up in Knoxville, TN, shipping would be something else. I have the original boxes for the fronts, others would require building.

     

    Asking $1700 for the lot.  

     

    Additionally, I am also selling  a Panasonic AE4000 1080p projector for sale (with remote), low hours (<300), and a 106 inch projector screen, also in perfect condition..

     

    PM me if questions!

    pictures forthcoming, stand-by!

    I am in the process of posting an entire RF-7 system in black ash.  RF-7’s with DeanG crossovers, RC-7 also with DG crossovers, and two unaltered RS-7’s.  The fronts are absolutely pristine, the center has a very little wear on the bottom, the rears one has a slightly mashed corner. Cones are all perfect, low miles as a home theater.  In Knoxville. Will be posting in main listings soon.  Just FYI.

    FS: Academy center speaker in black, very good condition

    Folks, I am going to try again.

    I have a black Academy for sale in very good condition. Corners are sharp, bottom paint is dull and has a drag mark but nothing breaking through the paint. Screen is excellent and original, no snags or frayed corners. The logo color is fading a bit on the right side (see pics).

    Drivers excellent; I have not had this thing in system since I have had it, dreams of a 5.1 Cornwall HT didn't materialize.

    Asking $300.00 in Knoxville, TN.

    FS: JM Blueberry Xtreme wCream, Dodd 120 Monoblocks, Jolida J100 CD REDUCED

    in Garage Sale

    Posted · Edited by Kriton

    Dynakit Mark III's - I bought these from NOSValves several years ago (he had recapped this pair) prior to my purchasing the Dodds. I bought a new pair of speakers that weren't as efficient as my Klipsch and needed more power, so these have been sitting as backups. They are sweet, putting out 30 watts I believe, and the sound is full and lush. A lovely set, the chassis are very good with only minor blemishes due to age and no corrosion. I have used them very little since purchase, but they are fully operational and need love. They currently sport a pair of Penta KT88's, an will come with an extra set of tubes. Not often you see the cages, and not in this very good condition, with only a slight heat darkening on the top of one cage, I ran these without cages when they were used. I have a few additional parts for them that I never added, like rubber feet, and heavier power cords, which I will include. The amps are heavy, same as before, I prefer local pick-up but will ship at your cost. Asking $1200 for the pair, OBO.

    Pics will follow.

    Folks,

    Circumstances require that I sell my main system, including:

    Juicy Music Blueberry Extreme preamp with Cream (turntable) option and remote. This preamp was just (within the last month) upgraded with Mark Deneen's Maxim upgrades, and the addition of a second pair of line level outputs for a subwoofer, which were not needed (as the upgrades added a whole new bass depth to the BB). These upgrades alone were approx. $500 all said and done. BB comes with a walnut case and stock tubes, and is really excellent in every way...I can find no blemishes on the BB or the walnut case. This BB was one of the very last that Mark made, and the case has square dovetailed edges, not rounded. Beautiful sounding and a really excellent preamp, even better now. I would prefer local pick up in **KNOXVILLE, TN** but I also have a custom box for the pre (not for the wooden case) that has survived now two cross country trips to Cali, you pay to ship. Asking $2300.00 **OBO**!!!!

    Dodd 120 Monoblocks, 120 Watt, customized to use Mundorf caps (original Sonicaps come with the amps). These amps were the second generation of amps produced by Gary Dodd, and came with basing meters on the deck, however those meters proved easily breakable, so I sent them back to Gary to be redone, and he made the modification back to manual (albeit easy) meter biasing. These things have blond oak sides and currently sport 4 EL 34 (JJ) and three GE 7044 tubes per amp. Additional tubes will ship with amps. Lots of power from these heavy amps, it is smooth and seamless. Rare amps, you won't see these come up very often. Excellent condition, again no flaws cosmetically or mechanically that I can find. As they are heavy, I would again prefer local pick up, but can ship at your cost. Asking $2200.00 **OBO** !!!.

    Pics forthcoming.

    Jolida JD100 - Jolida tube amp, excellent sounding, very low use (as I went to a .flac music server shortly after purchasing CD player). Cosmetically perfect, mechanically like new. Original tubes and remote ( that is made like a battleship). Asking $500.00 **OBO**!!!

    Thanks for looking.

    PS: I have a set of Dynakit Mk III's with cages, reworked by NosValves coming up soon for sale, stay tuned.

    I know this is late to the dance, and I haven't posted in a very long time...but I am going to give a shout out for the Technic TT. I looked at a VPI Scout, and several other similar price points, and I chose a new Technic SL-1200MK5, tweaked by KAB; power supply taken out, silicon reservoir float for the tone arm, RCA jacks added to the back, Cardas wiring in tone arm, circuits added to turn off the lights so to remove the possible electrical interference, etc. I think it sounds remarkable, and the vibration isolation of these magnetic tables built in by Technics makes it rock solid with no floor bound feedback no matter how loud or how much is pounding out of the subwoofer 3ft away from the TT. There are no parts touching, no rubber band to stretch or break, immediate spin up to correct pitch. I may be an ignorant, but this set up was easy, I have had it and used it for years, and I have not heard better.

    I think this was one of the last new Mk5's before Technics discontinued 4 or 5 years ago, but KAB is still around and modifying these TTs. Just a stray thought.

    Stupid DAC question

    in 2-Channel Home Audio

    Interesting, ok...in the research that I have been able to do, I think it is both...the USB DAC plugs into the computer and it is read as another sound device, but you then will need to go in and in the control panel, choose that device over your native soundcard, or on board sound, and then indicate which bit-perfect codec you want to use, or wich ever is supported by the device, in order to assure kernel bypass...does this sound right?
