Selling some "stuff."

[eth2]

Hi All,

I know this is a bad time to sell, but I thought I would put it on the Forum for a while before going to Audiogon or CL. I think I know what I want for my "final" system now, so I will try and pass the other items along. I have purchased all of these in the past year.

Harmon Kardon FL8380 6 disc CD player (does not have a remote) - $175/shipping

LaScalas (Raw Birch) - $1,200

Cornwalls (very nice condition)- $900

Parasound (w/remote) 2100 Preamp (a few scratches on top panel) - $350

Frazier Manhattans (some chipping to veneer in one corner - sound great) - $350

This is all in Ithaca, NY or Rochester, NY. I will send pictures if anyone is interested. Also, if you want anything and can't pay or pickup for a few months, that is fine.

I hate to clog up the Forum with pictures of everything. If you have anything you are interested in, let me know.

Please send pictures of the VAC, I doubt it is in the cards for me, but...

This is what i did back in may/april this year. now have only what i need, so does the wife.

Tried everything, gave it a fair listen, then sold, all but one for the same price i bought it for.

I took these pictures July 2014 of Earl's Marantz 1250:

 

 

This amp was pristine, like new old stock.  The sound is crystal clear, especially articulate in the midrange.

Are you sure about that $550 price, Earl?  I found two completed listings on Ebay in the last month for $710 and $818!

Very nice looking Marantz.

They are very nice, but I also have a set of Cornscala D's from Bob which I am going to keep.

OK

 

Great decision. I upgraded a pair the exact same way and would struggle selling them as well

Opus really had to twist Earl's arm on that one!

It was about as difficult to convince him to buy it too.     

 

For our Audio Anonymous meeting, Earl and I were comparing our Lists of Shame for 2014.  

He bought a lot more electronics (and definitely higher end stuff), I bought more speakers, and I am sure I logged more miles.

 

We are searching for the next AudioA meeting (and looking forward to the swap meet afterwards).

LOL!  Opus, you and Earl acknowledging you have a problem is the First Step in the Audio-holics Anonymous 12-step program, congratulations, you are on your way to recovery. 

 

The Second Step is purging yourselves from your material gains by donating your equipment to a worthy charity.  The "wvu80 Retirement Fund" is the best charity I can think of, and I'm willing to accept donations from you guys, if it will help you.

 

I have no idea what the Third Step is.  I never got past the first two steps.
