7.5 hours one way trip for me. That's really nothing overall. I was a manufacturers rep for 9 years and spent a lot of time behind the windshield. I could leave at 3am, be there by 11am maybe, and back home right at sunset. Is anyone on here down that direction that could go look at these in person for me? Hmmm.... To buy or to build...

What are the actual serial numbers on the tags? Is there any veneer missing or is it just nicks? Any more pictures of them?

Wow.... You are coming up with some smoking deals lately! It's a possibility that there are lighting elements, or bulbs, on that preamp display that could be out. Or even a fuse. My dad had a bunch of NAD and Adcom gear thru the years and I want to say he had an issue like that on a cd player and was easily fixed. But you got your remote preamp and good power now. Awesone finds!

I also have a Denon AVC-3020 80wpc Dolby Pro Logic amplifier and Denon TU-660 tuner that match the CD if interested.

A few more pics.

Well, since I don't use a separate CD player anymore with all my CD's being ripped to FLAC on my music server, it's time to let go of my Denon DCD-2560. This thing is definitely a beast at a tad over 23lbs but it's no problem to ship it and ship it properly. This player works very good and sounds great and is in stock form. No belts, capacitors, etc., have been done so it's ready for hot rodding if someone so desires. I have the RC-214 remote control for it which does control volume. The owners and service manual are both available from the Hi Fi Engine at the link below as I don't have the originals. The CD drawer needs that little extra push at the end to make sure it's in all the way which. if I recall, a belt should fix? http://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/denon/dcd-2560.shtml Asking $225 plus shipping (via PayPal gift payment) in the CONUS only. Please let me know if any questions.

Nice Denon DCD-2560. I've been thinking about selling mine as I never use a separate CD player much anymore.

I agree...the Heresy 2's do sound nice and I'd thought about that before with cabinets in the past. I've already owned 3 sets of early model Heresy's and one set of Heresy 2's but sold them all. Just had too many speakers around and still kind of do. But, if I'm going to build something, I'd rather have a larger set of speakers right now. Definitely love the way the CF-3's sound. Even if my HF hearing capability is shot from about 12KHz and up (blame it on 80's concerts, playing in bands and being in car/home audio).

Really, the only reason I mentioned the Heresy 2 drivers is because I picked up a pair of Heresy 2's that someone painted white and look rather rough. But, I'll most likely fix up the Heresy 2's and sell them to pay for mid and high drivers and horns for the Belle project. For starting out, I may end up with Selenium drivers and horns. Possibly the D250-X with an HM25-25 and the D220ti with the HM17-25 horn. Those would both fit in the top hat section of the Belle cabinets no problem. I don't think I'll be able to come across any K500 horns anytime soon.

Well if you find a set at a decent deal, let me know and I just may make a road trip!

Haha....never hurts to ask but it was definitely in good humor. I wouldn't trade that gear for a laptop, either. Keep an eye out for older Mitsubishi gear like the DA-A7DC at 75wpc, DA-A10 at 100wpc and DA-A15 at 150wpc. Those have been on my radar for some time now....kind of like Belle's. But both seem to elude me in this area.

Wanna trade those for a laptop? Very nice find and a great price. I sold that series years ago and they were always stellar performers. I know what you mean about remote control; I just enjoy having it. I've got an older Carver C-1 preamp that's been completely rebuilt (200+ resistors and caps, IC's, new RCA's out back, etc) that sounds amazing and I also had remote control volume and mute added to it. Also had my Carver M-1.0t major updated with lots of new innards. Now makes 460wpc versus 200 and is dead quiet on the CF-3's.

Pretty tight but might have "some" room.

Dude....you're awesome!

Since these will be a DIY Belle, I'm open for options on the top end. I'm thinking I'll scrap this idea. It was one of those later in the night ideas that I should have kept to myself. haha. Still deliberating on doing a 2 versus 3 way and would like to go 2-way but seems like the Fatial HF140 or HF200 is the main best options for them. Kind of out of my reach at the moment.

In researching for what I could find, it may be that the K-52 can't be crossed much lower than 600Hz. Still looking.

Or would this be considered "Heresy"? Does the K-52 have the ability to play down to the K-33 crossover point? Same goes with tweeters. This may be a complete left field option but still wondered.

One Dell sold and Bytespeed sold. There is one Dell left at the moment. I may have another one but I'm having trouble getting it to hold a charge with a new battery and charger. Still digging into that one.

Can do, Jim. I believe I still have your address from Paypal history but you might add it there just in case. kip.lawson66@yahoo.com I'll look for more boxes at work tomorrow and get it out as soon as I can. Thanks! Kip

I have two more of the Dell D630's for sale....still $90 shipped CONUS. Also have a Bytespeed laptop but need to get more specs on it and post if anyone is interested. The Bytespeed is a 15.6", Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz with 2GB of RAM but I'm going to bump it to 3 or 4GB. With 4GB installed, it will see about 3.5GB of it but that's still better. Runs quite good overall. Does have a DVD drive, too. Has VGA & S-video out plus a 1394 port. It will be set up the same as the others. I'm asking $100 for this one.

I shoulda saved those....they were darn good.

Some of Neal Schon's (Journey) solo stuff is phenomenal and sounds great, too. Beyond the Thunder and Piranha Blues are two of my faves.

Well darn.... Pictures are gone.

Maybe something from Tangent line, too. T4000, 5000, etc.
