Item: Nikon AF Nikkor 85mm f1.4D IF Lens Location: Sydney Price: $800 + insured postage Item Condition: Excellent Reason for selling: NLR Payment method: Pickup - Cash, Direct Deposit I purchased this fabulous lens through a private sale in January 2017 and it has probably been used for one roll of film since buying. It is in excellent condition with no marks on the body or lens - perfectly clean optics. I wouldn't have bought it in the first place if it wasn't minty. IMO, these AF-D lenses were built to a higher standard than some of the current AF-S types. The optics are no doubt better in the newer AF-S lenses but they don't have the same build quality. Comes with box, packaging, instructions and warranty card to show this is Australian delivered stock. Happy for inspection or post at cost. Filter not included in the sale.

Hi, Anyone purchased or listened to these new speakers from Marten and would like to give their listening impressions? cheers.

I’ve seen inside an Atilla and it was beautifully designed with everything symmetrical. True mono design. I reckon my Diablo 120 is every bit as good.

I’ll raise the stakes. Industrial design at its best.

Can’t provide advice on Gryphon versus Vitus but I do have the Gryphon Diablo 120 - the ‘baby’ integrated. Stunning build and sound quality. It easily out performed by old ME25/ME850 combination. Truly magnificent piece of kit that will never leave me. Can’t wait till my Gryphon Scorpio S CD arrives from Denmark to pair with the Diablo. Another consideration is the Diablo 300.

Gryphon and Audio Analogue can be added to the list.

I’m not really into servers as I find the whole digital streaming/digital storage thing way too complicated for my liking. Plus, it’s still an emerging technology that is unresolved IMO. I love a good disc spinner as much as I love a good record player. The latter is sorted, now for a great CD player.

Hey mate, no, I have a Yamaha CDS-2100 that I put in later today after the above photo was taken. The Gryphon is just magnificent with the Accordos.

I have a feeling that I’ll be chasing the Scorpio S CD player one day, just have to save up a lot of pennies.

Great looking vintage system there Thomo. Amazing how old gear can hold their own with today’s equipment.

Just put the Diablo 120 into the other system with the Accordos and Classic 1. First time listening to vinyl through it. Oh my god!

Beautiful. Another Gryphon user. 👍

I couldn't agree more. That industrial design is beautiful to look at.

It’s the sweetest sounding amplifier. Had it playing all day last Sunday and every night since.
