Further Information: Up for sale, 2 boxes of Sonitus Acoustics Leviter Shape 8 Acoustic Panels in White – total of 12 panels. I got these for a listening room that never eventuated due to the space being repurposed as a home office. These panels absorb well down to 200hz. They have a velvet finish that is applied to a high performance foam substrate (USAP). I do not have the magnets that attach to the wall but they do have the magnets on the rear of the panel. Price has been reduced to reflect this. You can buy cheap disc shaped magnets from Bunnings or Ebay and fix those to the wall. The magnets of the wall could be fastened with some light duty 3M Command Velcro strips or double sided tape. The boxes are pretty bulky so local pickup is the best option. I could post if required. Cash or Paypal on pickup. I can freight at cost but pickup is obviously more logical. RRP $699 per box. Specs: 60x60x8cm (SKU : LEV_SH8_*COLOR SKU) Material >*USAP - Unique Sonitus Acoustic Polyester - fire resistant FMVSS 302 <100mm/min > Soft velvet coating in different colors http://www.sonitusacoustics.eu/18/product/leviter-shape

Further Information: I bought these for a project that is not going to come to fruition. The Paintable Broadband panels have a very wide range of absorption and can be painted to match any wall colour. In addition to this, the performance can actually be tuned through varying the thickness of the paint applied to the face and sides. Thicker paint gives better low frequency absorption and less high frequency attenuation. A light spray paint will arguably give the best overall balance of low and high absorption. 2 boxes in total meaning a total of 12 panels covering of 2.4 sqm. Corner mounting or mounting offset from a wall will further enhance the low frequency absorption. https://www.primacoustic.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/BroadwayWallPanels-EDS-02-2023.pdf (page 2) https://www.ambertech.com.au/paintable-acoustic-panel-24-x-24-x-2-square-white-6pcs I opened one of the boxes to take a photo. All panels are totally unused. Local pickup makes most sense. But I can freight at cost. Paypal as a friend please.

Further Information: Coherence Systems is owned by the guy that sold the qcoil technology to Nordost. The Add Powr stuff has similar devices in the range to the Nordost offerings but have improvements in the implementation of the concept. The Wizard is similar conceptually to the Nordost QX4 power purifiers. The explanation is that it adds low frequency square waves to the mains waveform. I have no idea what mechanism is at play but the Wizard has a pretty immediate effect once you switch it on. There are quite a few owners and reviewers that have described the improvements very accurately, however, ultimately, the best way I can sum up the effects of the unit are that it makes music much more enjoyable, engaging and helps you understand the emotional content of the music. The Add Powr also seems to be able to "spread" its effects across your mains network. I can attach it to a different circuit and still hear its effects, though not as powerfully as when it is on the same circuit as my stereo setup. I have confirmed with the manufacturer that the unit is set to 230V operation. These guys seem to have nailed it - https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/i-have-had-the-add-powr-wizard-in-my-system-for-a-couple-of-weeks-and-i?sort_order=asc https://www.audioaficionado.org/showthread.php?p=1048299 https://tweekgeek.blogspot.com/2020/12/add-powr-wizard-review-comparison-to.html Payment by Paypal only please. I will cover post inside Australia with insurance. These units are not supplied with a power cable - I can supply a generic kettle cable if you require one. They run on universal voltage.

Further Information: Siemens Halske 7DJ8 PCC88 1970's tubes. These tubes use the same grey shield and large halo getter construction as the Telefunken 7DJ8's. In fact these same tubes were sold as Telefunkens from the 1970's onwards although they are not totally identical in sound to the Tele's (go figure). In terms of sound these tubes very energetic with well defined bass and great detail. In my system, the Siemens tends to have really good upper midrange frequency energy and very good ambient retrieval. They are noticeably different to the 6DJ8 Siemens variants that I have tried in my preamp with fatter bass and slightly smoother through the midrange and treble. The 7DJ8 / PCC88 is a 7volt tube which can be a drop in replacement for 6V 9pin tubes (6922, 6DJ8s etc) in most equipment. They tend to last longer in devices that drive tubes hard and they (to my ears) have a slightly more relaxed sound than their 6DJ8 equivalents. Whilst these tubes are not as sought after as the CCA's, but they will suit systems looking for a slightly less lit-up mid and upper frequency range whilst maintaining the more exciting aspects of the Siemens type of Tubes. Writing is quite worn on these tubes. I have put 30 mins on these to test them for noise.

Further Information: Up for sale, a set of 4 (2X output, 2X input) High Fidelity Cables Magnetic RCA Adaptors. You place the "outgoing" set on the outputs of a device (DAC, Preamp etc) and then the "input" side of the receiving device. The Magnetic Adaptors were designed as a lower cost point of entry into High End Cable's magnetic conduction technology. Their cables started at about $1300 so these offer a lower price taste of what they can do. They add an amazing timbral quality and really accentuate the presence region in a nice way. They also add a lovely dynamic quality and add intelligibility. Very addictive. Ideal if you have a dark or a neutral setup that needs some extra life. I experimented with placement and found that there is some flexibility with which cables you use them on if you are running a source, a preamp and a power amp. They have a very strong effect and 2 sets will more than enough for most systems. Audiobacon review: "This experiment had some unexpected results for me. I did expect some kind of improvement but not at this magnitude. These innocent-looking little magnets were not only able to improve all sonic elements of this system, but brought it to heights I believe only achievable with at least five times more money. However, given that the magnetic conduction technology is patented, you might not even get this “magnetic signature” without Rick’s products. If you’re stuck finding an inexpensive way to upgrade your current 2-channel system, I cannot recommend the High Fidelity Cables Magnetic RCA Adapters highly enough. It’s a no-brainer. So much so, I spoke with my wallet and placed an order for a pair. " I tried one of these on a really good quality SPDIF cable and it subjectively brought a really nice uptick in dynamics and clarity. So even though they aren't specified as being useful in that scenario, they made a real improvement for me. Photos:

Further Information: Then Entreq grounding boxes can be attached to any active device including speakers (via the negative terminal). I used these in a variety of ways. Expect a more relaxed presentation with a lower noise floor. When attached to speakers, they had a very nice effect and allowed me play music louder with a massive decrease in subjective compression and harshness. These are the current Infinity line series which are more expensive than the equivalent outgoing models. I am told that each model designation now gets closer to the performance of the model above them in the older series https://www.thecableco.com/minimus.html No low ball offers please! I the photos show spikes that I attached to the base of the units. I have since removed these and replaced them with the original feet.

Further Information: Up for sale, a closely matched pair of 1970's Foton 6N6P (5687, ECC99, E182CC) USSR. I was informed that these tubes would work in my BHK Preamp but I delved further before using them and I believe that whilst the voltage is OK, the current requirements are too much for the BHK preamp so they might burn our or trip the unit. These are used in a lot of BAT & some Schiit preamps and some Lampizator DACs that can deliver the necessary current. Not in original boxes. Will be shipped securely with tracking. Paypal as a friend only please.

Further Information: 5X Acme Audio Labs Silver Ceramic Cryogenic Treated with CFC - 2A fast blow fuses 5x20mm. I bought these for a Rebel Amp preamp but they were unused. They cost me $250 shipped.

I have found them to be exceptional value for money and I've always enjoyed what they bring to every type of device I've used them in. https://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/1021/Acme_Audio_Labs_Silver_Cryo_Fuses_Review.htm

Further Information: Up for sale a NEW in box (unused, never connected to any amplifier), 26w/4558T00 long excursion 10” subwoofer driver. Scanspeak are a high-end speaker manufacturer based in Denmark. They have been making some very expensive and exotic drivers for decades (featured in $50,000 speakers) This driver features an aluminium cone with a high temperature voice coil with a shorting ring (to reduce voice coil inductance). Max excursion is 25mm and max’ mechanical excursion is 56mm. The chassis is die-cast aluminium to keep weight down. This could be used with a slightly higher than normal crossover point if required: The low resonant frequency and medium QTS means that it can used in a sealed, ported or Passive Radiator enclosure. Sealed might require a bit of EQ to bring up lower frequencies if the sub’ is not room loaded or in a vehicle. Expect very tight bass with low distortion, high power handling and excellent reliability. Apparently these drivers are used in the Bang and Olufsen Beolab 90 - $110k a pair and the highly regarded Magico S5 - $80k a pair.

Further Information: The SPL TDx 500 Series Transient Designer Module is installed in a single slot of the 500-series rack module and is used to amplify or attenuate attacks and prolong or shorten the sustain. It features the Differential Envelope Technology (DET) that allows level-independent dynamic processing of signal paths by calculating differences in generated envelopes. These envelopes track the curve of the original signal to provide optimal results. Therefore, only two controls per channel are required to allow you to completely reshape the attack and sustain characteristics of a sound. Thanks to the MIX (parallel mix) feature, you can continuously blend between the processed and unprocessed signal. The transient designer is suitable for use in professional recording, project or home studios, and in sound-reinforcement applications. Applied to single instruments or loops, it allows you to create new sounds and/or effects. Features Single-slot 500-series rack module Extended SPL’s original Transient Designer circuitry Parallel Mix Control: Blend between processed and unprocessed signal Attack Control: Amplify or attenuate attack of a signal by up to 15 dB Sustain Control: Prolong or shorten the sustain of a signal by up to 24 dB Differential Envelope Technology (DET) for level-independent envelope processing Output level control On/bypass switch Signal LED Made in Germany https://tapeop.com/reviews/gear/124/tdx-transient-designer-500-series-module/ Excuse the dust - item is in perfect condition.
