Stuff for Sale
« on: April 09, 2010, 08:55:53 AM »
Trying to free up some room so I wanted to get rid of a few things...

1) **** SOLD***Crown PS-400 amp: 165wpc @ 8ohm, 260wpc @ 4ohm, 520wpc mono @ 8ohm = continuous power.  Good pure clean power.  Nice front, only a few scratches, no rack handles.  Only issue is that the second channel knob on the front is a little loose.  To turn properly, you have to push in and turn or else the knob will spin a little.  Might just need tightened.  $150.

2) *****SOLD**** Yaqin Tube Buffer: Nice heavy little unit.  2 GE Tubes, 6J1.  Very good condition. $50.

3)  Tannoy pbm 6.5 Speakers:  2 way, bookshelf size.  Don't have much specs on these.  Were used in a production studio, still have wall mounts on the back.  Very nice sounding speaker, very clear.  Cabinets are in very good shape.  Used in conjunction w/ a sub they are awesome.  Several pairs on ebay right now for $250 that are in much worse shape.  Will let go for $100.


***Stock photos from the internet, didn't have a chance to take pictures.  If anyone is interested in any of these, IM me, i'll be at the meeting tomorrow after 5pm and can bring them.***

How much of a difference does the tube buffer make? I've thought about buying one before...
I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.

There is a noticeable change in tone and it does add an amount of gain.

Rev,

  Got the tube buffer in the system already.  Nice unit, adds a nice touch to the sound of my setup.  (A little bit noisier than I anticipated, but only when there is no output going through the system.  Don't notice any other time, and it definitely is not a detractor.)  Unit is in great shape.  Thanks.  (BTW - Tom has your $5 - if he didn't buy beer with it already!!! ;D)

  It was also great meeting you also.

Well, I figured out a way to do a A/B comparison.  Ended up putting the Yaqin in line with the analog outputs of my Toshiba DVD/RW player and pluged the output of the tube unit to the CD inputs on the back of my Yamaha RX-V795a.  Then switched between the digital DVD/LD source and the CD source while playing some Neil Young (Harvest).  Pretty damn nice sound from the tube buffer.  Definitely an improvement for the HT setup. 

I also tried the Yaqin between just my Dual TT on the Carver setup.  Still a bit noisy compared to when it was on the Yamaha.  (Not sure if it is a sensitivity issue with my HR-772, or could be a ground loop/interconnect issue on the Carver system altogether, will experiment more as time goes by.)  Definitely a worthwhile investment.  Thank Rev.
