Title: Consolidation sale
Post by: Slim-Shaddy on January 07, 2011, 09:45:22 PM
I haven't been listening to the basement stereo as much as I used to (like not at all), so I figured I would consolidate to one system and use the dough to build up my DJ/KJ system. The prices aren't for those wanting to resell, but they are fair and firm.

-Bryston 3b- not mint, works perfectly. $300
-Acurus A200- some moron repainted it and put mailbox lettering to spell acurus. The inside looks spotless and it is a dead silent sleeper. $250
-Denon DCD1520- Looks good, sounds great. The drawer doesn't always close all the way... just needs a nudge. $100
-B&K AVP2000- great sounding silent dual zone pre with 2 sets of pre outs per channel. With remote. $300
-Audio Research LS9- has a VERY slight pop when going from mute to operate. New caps from Tom (OCCD). He also put in things so the       op-amps can be swapped. I know I don't know the details, so if you are interested, you are better off talking to him. Remote capable (I use a logitec harmony 600). $600
-B&W DM640- Look and sound great $500
-McIntosh XR16- Look and sound spectacular $600
-Technics SL-d202- $30

Ed, you are selling your Mc speakers.  :o :o 
  Are you selling out everything?  If I can scrape up the cash, I would like to check out the Acurus.

I'm not selling everything. I'm pretty much keeping one of everything. Whatever doesn't sell I will use for my main LR system.

How are the cosmetics on the Denon 1520?  That is a great player for that price, someone should snag that before I do.

Keeping the macs and the bryston. That leaves the Denon and the B&Ws. I'm lowering the price on the B&Ws to $450 which is a steal. I bought them for $600 about 6 months ago.

Are you going to discount the Denon?

Probably not. I know it's a great price already. I figure if nobody wants it, I'll just hang onto it. I'll find a use for it eventually.

Better than plant on electronics, right? We're extremely careful with the plants on or near equipment. Deep plastic water catches and steady hands = no water stains.

I just hooked up Tommy's Sansui 1000 and was screwing around and I noticed it souded like the bass was dropping when balance was in "center" and louder on left or right. First thing that came to mind... polarity. It was right on the amp. I know it's right on the upper drivers because I did work on them. So I pulled the woofers. Same on both sides. OK 50/50 I swapped + & - on the right driver. Well gentlemen, that bass issue I've been whining about with these speakers all this time is cured  ;D :D ;D :D
