  1. Dynaco ST-35    -    Asking $1025

    This amp is as close to new as you can get. It is flawless!

    It was built by Getdynaco in February. I brought it in to hear my F15 drivers being driven by it. I was trying to find out if a push-pull on them sounds good. The amp has that amazing EL84 tube sound everyone talks about. This was a completely new build at getdynaco. There were zero used parts installed.

    It will come with 3 quads of tubes. Of course, the Psvane El84 tubes that are supplied, some Amperex, and the drool-worthy GE EL84 - with code 188 on them with the oval plates. Also included will be the stock 12DW7, the original shipping box, and a cage that looks like it has been installed only to ship the amp. This amp looks great cage on or off and is waiting to be the highlight of your system!

    Check my feedback here and on that other auction-selling site. 100% all time so buy with confidence!

    I'll cover shipping to the lower 48. Paypal friends and family. Enjoy it!

  2. Brown Audio Lab MP-2 Network Media Server / Player / DAC.

     

    The MP-2 has two separate power supply, one for digital and one for analog section - using quality toroidal transformers, aluminum spiked isolation feet and discs.4 USB 2.0 ports to connect source or external hard drive, its configured to work with Apple AirPlay. The music player installed is Volumio based on Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and HiFiberry DAC+ . The tube output stage uses one 6GV8 rectifying tube and two ECC82 preamp tubes and Audyn capacitors. The sound quality is outstanding, and has served me well for a few years. This also comes with a cd drive that when connected you can burn cds direct to the harddrive. I've also had 2 external hard drives connected and this thing has just been fantastic! I'll include the RCA 5963 tubes so you start off will a great set of tubes. You can run 12AT7 as well as 12AU7 . Output is 2 volts. Feel free to ask questions. Ill cover shipping to the lower 48. I'd like $500 .As always No refunds and No returns. Enjoy!

  3. Decware DM945

     

    Decware DM945 speakers in okay condition. They've got a few bumps and bruises from shipping and original owner. There are zeros issues with them performing however. I had them on 22"stands in my listening room. They are fantastic and worth giving a go in your listening room. They are great on low power or high power. Very revealing, and will surprise you on how "warm" yet detailed they are. The previous owner had these on the monolith bases and used sonething to seal them to the bases as seen in the picture showing the port. It can come off with some work, but honestly just never cared to mess with it. My price refkects the 7/10 rating but these are 10/10 operationally. Look at the pics to make sure you are okay with a few imperfections. Ill ship these in 2 seperate boxes and cover shipping to the lower 48. Friends and family or cash on pickup to avoid fees. Id like $675 As always NO refunds and NO returns. Enjoy!

  4. Selling my REL T9i in 9/10 condition.  It's the piano gloss black and has a few feather scratches that are seen from 1ft away but unnoticeable from farther away than that. I tried to take pictures with the light showing them. I'll take $900 and I'll cover the shipping to you. I have original box, speaking cable, and power cord. No refunds and no returns. Enjoy!

    Your original A/4500 crossovers do not have the 500uH inductors in the mid horn filter network which you have in the crossovers Deang made for you, so yes he did add a non-original component to the network so it is now a modified, non-original network. Get it? He didn't build you the exact same network, it is different because of the added inductor. Comparing apples to oranges since the actual circuit is different.


    I think you are missing it. He didn't modify the A/4500 networks I had. He didn't build his version of the A/4500. 

    He built new networks from the ground up. Changed the crossover points, different inductors etc. . Get it? Stop being so arrogant. There isn't a need for it. 

    We are talking crossovers so unless you are saying it isn't apple to apples because the values used and the schematic isn't the same then you are correct not apples to apples.

     

    However we are talking crossovers here so it's the same ballpark.

    The added 500uH air core inductor in series with the mid horn driver Deang used on the A/4500 is most certainly the reason why you like his network over the previous versions that didn't have it. You could have just added it to the first a/4500 in your LaScalas and like you said you most likely would still have them today. It seems universal that the added inductor improves the A/4500 mid horn sound.

     

    Who knows, maybe the extra 200nF of capacitance in the tweeter filter is audible also.



    Dean didn't add anything to my A/4500 crossovers. He built new crossovers for my Cornscalas based on the drivers being used. On my A/4500 crossovers I did swap some caps out and it made a difference but nothing like replacing the entire network.  

  7. It sounds like you are experiencing exactly what I was fighting with my La Scalas. I started with the AL-3 and purchased the a/4500 . I am not a fan of the A/4500. I can't decide if it was the crossover point or the clarity caps or where the problem was in mine. I have a friend that has the ALK universal. His La Scalas are much smoother and they also give the option to adjust mids and highs with a jumper. Very convenient! I also used dynamat on all of the horns. I eventually sold mine as they weren't a great fit in my room, and purchased Cornscalas. With all of that said, talk with Dean and see what he suggests for crossovers. He built the crossovers for the Cornscalas and they won out over the crites and ALK steep slopes. I might still have my La Scalas if I had talked to Dean first. Attached are the Deang crossovers. Good luck on the journey!

    @pioneerhip Wasn’t that the CornScala drive/horn combo you had?

     

     

    If you love horn loaded bass, the CornScala will probably disappoint you.

     

    I believe it was the same combo. 

     

    The comment about horn loaded bass couldn't be more spot on. I do think your crossovers brought out the best in the bass department on the cornscalas, but horn loaded bass it isn't. 

  9. Cornscalas Type B for sale. Stained and painted. Original drivers and ready to be enjoyed by a new owner. I've enjoyed these and finished them myself. Really happy with how they came out. I have the grills but never put the grill cloth on them. It's not like you would want to cover the drivers up anyway. Local pick up only. In Dallas Ft. Worth Area. $1300 5d0eddede7db4771270a4b5838f68db8.jpg0d4b794d6966c68eb00fb58759f821e6.jpgf4fe4742d513900432a952733806ca09.jpg

    As I note I did not use a pre-stain conditioner on a pair of baltic birch speakers and it came out too blotchy. I had it, and used it in testing, but my sample looked great without so I decided to skip. Unfortunately the sides came out fine, but the front looks awful.

     

    Would highly recommend a pre-stain, I don't think it can hurt and would have saved me having to refinish them.

     

    Did you use gel stain or a regular stain? The gel stain, like I used, is supposed to help with the blotchy effects. Mine aren't blotchy that I can see.
