Ahh, sorry yes, have covers.... in good condition. I never used them. The fabric is not the most transparent.... and you literally put a curtain over the sound if you use them. However, they are original as far I know.

Item: LENCO L75 JEAN NANTAIS TURNTABLE Location: Melbourne, Australia. Item Condition: Used, Excellent. Reason for selling: Downsizing, running out of room, surplus, can do with money Price: $3,000 + post Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Bank deposit, wire transfer. Extra Info: Original Lenco L75 Jean Nantais turntable. Overall size is 390 wide x 445 deep x 185 high, weighing 23kg. Complete with 3 Black Diamond Racing cones as feet. You can choose MK3 or Mk4. unfortunately, no armboard as such as designed to be used with separate arm base setup with no restriction to placement or setup possibilities. Piano gloss black finish on plinth. The finish of the deck is metallic black, and not as glossy as the plinth finish. Very neat condition indeed. Bearing is upgraded bronze housing and ceramic bearing from Micro Sound Co, Lithuania - I don't think they are available any longer. The platter is cast zinc type. Also included is the hard platter mat direct from Jean Nantais. This is the same mat he uses on his Reference turntable. Not sure if he still sells these alone, but it's a fantastic upgrade. I have compared it directly with the Goldmund mat and it definitely doesn't fall shy. Goldmund call it metacrylate, but seems to a fancy name for pespex or acrylic? Not sure if I missed anything, but if you need any further information, just ask. Photos: As follows (with a bit of dust):

Hi. It is an AC distributor. It does not have any circuit protection. I found it to improve the sound significantly in my system in a very natural way. Added an ease and a flow to the music. You can run free with your choice of power cord to input into the distributor. With 4 runs of 12awg solid core copper wire per leg, inductance is created to create a more silent background allowing more to be heard. That is what I experienced in my system. Every system is different, and everyone's tastes are different too!

Item: AC distribution block, US plugs, 15amp IEC Location: VIC3044, Australia. Price: $899 each + post. Item Condition: New and unused. Reason for selling: Not used, sitting in drawer. Intended on setting up more than one system, however, have been sitting in cupboard since 2013. Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only. Extra Info: I had these made in 2013 by an audio enthusiast and was wandering if there is any interest. I had a few made and paid a fortune! The top and bottom plates are 3mm copper plate. The bolts are stainless. The casing is solid White Candadian Oak, stained black and finished in oil. The 15amp iec socket is Furutech gold plated. This is much more common than 20amp plugs, allowing you to use your own preferred power cord for input. The US style receptacles are from Albert Porter. Each leg of the 4x solid core 12awg copper wire to create inductance. I have three units not used. I am currently using two in my one system. These weigh around 8kg each, due to mineral damping within. They are meticulously made. The improvement I got from using these is very good. Pictures: To follow.

Item: 300B SET mono amps Location: Melbourne, Australia. Item Condition: Used, Excellent. Reason for selling: Not used. Price: $12,000 + post Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Bank deposit, wire transfer. Extra Info and photos: I saw these amps back in New Zealand when Jason Parmenter still owned them. Since then, they have been owned by John White, who now resides in Melbourne. Thus, when John considered selling them, I jumped at the opportunity. Since owning the amps from John White from December 2011, I have lost interest in trying any other 300B amp. Audio Note or Kondo don't even interest me, and usually those exotics do, despite the fact that I do not the have the money to own such equipment. There is only one pair ever made, and I have discussed the possibility of building another exact same pair, but Jason said that it is highly unlikely. They would be too expensive to build today, and besides, the Tango transformers are unobtanium today as Tango have closed down. Secondhand pricing on Tango components have also soared since the closing down of the factory. Parmenter Sound has since made several different models of amps after these, but no more that use 300B. The Parmenter 300B SET amps features the following: 1) Solid 3mm chassis. Hardwood clad. Hardwood transformer covers. 2) Tango output transformer and choke. 3) Sowther interstage transformer. 4) No signal caps in signal path. 5) Silver wiring (now Audio Consulting) used in signal path - see below. 6) Silver RCA socket and binding post (PHY-HP France) - see below. 7) Allen Bradley 2W resistors in signal path - see below. 8) Blackgate caps, ASC oil caps, Jensen caps, Clarity caps, Kiwame resistors used. 9) Solid 3mm copper chassis, top and bottom covers and sides. Sides are wrapped in hardwood. 10) I have never measured, but I have been told 45kg shipping weight (including wood boxes) each mono. I can lift by myself with legs, so I'm guessing amps weigh 35kg or so each. I am not sure what changes John had made to amp if any. All I can tell you is that while the amps have been in my possession, I have done the following modifications/upgrades: 1) Replaced binding posts and input RCA socket with PHY-HP from France that do not use any plastic insulation. 2) Removed 8-ohm terminal output to have only 16-ohm tap + ground. Easily reversible to original 8-ohm and 4-ohm. 3) Replaced all internal AN-UK signal wiring with Audio Consulting silver wiring with cotton sleeve. 4) Replaced 300B socket with custom made teflon unit with sping loaded pure copper contacts. Similar to the ones sold by Kara Chaffee used in Dehavilland amplifiers. 5) Output 300B replaced with Western Electric, date code 9813. 6) Input NOS 417a replaced with Western Electric. Spare NOS WE 417a set included plus another set which is LM Ericsson, with square getter and gold pins. I have no Raytheon type left ... 7) Rectifier tube is 1960's French Neotron. Set of 4 NOS Sylvania Gold tubes will also be included. 8) Input grid stopper resistor and loading resistor replaced with 2W Allen Bradley RCR mil spec type. These were both Caddock type. 9) One other resistor replaced with Riken Ohm carbon. This was Holco before. 10) Replaced Clarity caps used in power supply with Mundorf EVO SGO and Mundorf EVO Supreme. I am after $12,000 AUD for the amps, tubes and all mentioned above. I am not sure how I will go with sending them as they are not exactly lightweight, nor compact. http://www.audioenz.co.nz/forums/topic/parmenter-sound-300b-mono-bloc-amps/
