Thanks mate. It is so nice visually. I think a lot of companies over-cook the design of their components and Yamaha have thankfully looked backwards to the 70s golden period.

Item: Yamaha A-S1000 amplifier Location: Kew, Victoria Price: 950 Item Condition: excellent near mint Reason for selling: changing things up Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: selling my mint Yamaha A-S1000 with remote, no scratches or marks anywhere. Incredible build quality, punchy warm clear sound, buckets of power, stellar MM/MC phono stage, built like a tank at 23kg. This has been used in rotation usually in summer mainly when my tube amp seems like the wrong choice, or when I want a punchier more detailed change over the tube sound. The tone controls are in another league to most implementations I've heard. I never hear any degradation when I do use them. The side wood panels can be purchased in dark brown and black from Yamaha for $100 btw I do have the manuals but no box. Would prefer to have this local collection Photos: Advertisements without photos of the actual item will not be approved.

On hold pending payment and pickup this evening

Item: Isotek EVO3 Premier Power Cable 1.5m Location: Kew Victoria Price: $135 + shipping Item Condition: excellent Reason for selling: too large Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: purchased this from Carlton Audio 6 weeks ago unfortunately the amp I'm using at the moment is longer and therefore the front of the amp now sits out over the cabinet it is sitting on more than I can aesthetically deal with. Carlton Audio lent me 4 power chords in the $250 to $300 range. All of them sounded way better than standard cable. However I felt the other 3 reduced bass punch a little, where Isotek Premier did not at all. Chime in with suggestions of power chord with smaller plug units particularly at the amp end as I'm back to kettle chord. I stupidly threw out the box, so it's not included Photos: Advertisements without photos of the actual item will not be approved.

Item: Yamaha A-S700 Amplifier Location: Kew Area, Victoria Price: no longer for sale Item Condition: good Reason for selling: surplus Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: selling my trusty A-S700 It has a few light swirl marks on the case and light scratch on side of case, the face plate is clean Phono section sounds better than my Schiit Mani. Pure Direct mode sounds excellent I've put lower profile feet on it which in my opinion looks way better than the tall black plastic originals. The original feet will be included. Comes with remote, which has a few wear marks on it Photos: Advertisements without photos of the actual item will not be approved.

I should have properly read the post! It was clearly stated above 😣.

Hi, is that the 15v Teradak?

Gulp.......if this was silver I'd be all over this. Beautiful amp!

Item: Hifiman HE4XX headphones Location: Kew, Victoria Price: $220 Item Condition: mint Reason for selling: Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: can't think of a better bang for buck open back phone out there. Exactly the same drivers as the $450 HE400i, less blingy, better headband taken from higher end Hifiman model, bettered my Sennheiser Hd650 (which I sold after receiving these) in all ways IMO. Better low end slam, more open treble and punchier lively midrange. I'm just not able to use open backs much at home these days so I'm using inears more unfortunately. These do not require amplification but respond very well to amps and DACs. Full retail box included. Preference to Melbourne sales but can be shipped interstate at $20 extra Pictures:

Item: Focal Spirit Classic Headphones Location: Kew, Victoria Price: $220 Item Condition: very good Reason for selling: surplus to my needs Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: Focal Spirit Classic for sale, no box but all accessories including pouch, long cable, short cable, booklet. Build quality is very high on these. These are still being sold in Australia for $600 so get a bargain. Very detailed without being fatiguing, tight punchy bass and warm but forward mids. Does not require amplification but responds well to amplification and DACs very well. No sound leakage either which was the reason for purchasing in the first place. Highly regarded by the legendary Tyll at Innerfidelity website. I'm happy to ship these for an extra $16 Pictures:

Hi Mark, yes that works for me. Sending PM now

Item: Ortofon 2m Blue Location: Kew, Melbourne Price: $180 Item Condition: used, barely out of burn in Reason for selling: surplus to my needs Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: Ortofon 2m Blue, conservative estimate of 40 hours, most likely less as I ended up finding a great price on a 2m Black quite soon after buying the Blue Working perfectly Thrown out the box and manual, but will be boxed up well if shipping is required. I estimate express shipping to be an additional $12 Pictures:

On hold pending payment and collection today........keep you all updated

Preference to Melbourne interest, it's still available with 3 interstate offers which will be followed up on if Melbourne pickup falls through in next 24 hours
