Oh great, thanks for letting me know. I will take a look at some videos. It is still for sale now, but we will see…

Further information: As new Qup. It didn’t fit my father’s table, but I have an identical one on my Project Debut and it is great. I would prefer pickup or delivery within a reasonable distance of Richmond. I can post for $10 if necessary. Original Ad:

Hi there, I am interested in all three cables, but I might be a bit short on the reach. Are all three 1m? If so, are they 1m including or excluding the plugs. I see in older ads you had some at 1.5m. Cheers, Justin

No, both of these are the sample rates shown in the phone’s Apple Music app. The DAC doesn’t have a display, so someone with a DAC with a display would have to check that. Having the music go via the phone is running down the battery much faster than using Tidal connect!

I selected lossless up to 24 bit/48kHz on my iPhone. It is playing over AirPlay2 to a Node 2i then out to a Gieseler Kompakt. It is playing Flight Facilities - Clair De Lune at 24 bit/44.1kHz. Also Nils Frahm Empty at 24 bit/48kHz. Sounding good to me!

No worries!

Hi Ian, I will send you a message, please check that. You can access it from the top right, three horizontal lines, then the mail icon. I also suggest you edit out your details from your response above. Cheers, Justin

Hi Ian, It would be $220 in total. I could send it tomorrow or whenever suits you. I’ll send you a PM in case you don’t see this here. Cheers, Justin

Further information: Works perfectly and sounds great. Comes with original box. I can post if necessary but would prefer a local pickup. I can deliver within a reasonable drive of Richmond Victoria. I bought it on SNA last November. The powder coated steel case (I think it’s an earlier version) doesn’t match my other Schiit box, so I replaced it with a brushed aluminium Mani shamelessly to make them match. Below is the original ad. .

Hi Craig, I cannot send you a pm. I would like this please if it is still available and you are happy to post. Cheers, Justin

Hi Andrew, We bought the acrylic version, which came with the steel platter in the box. I just swapped in the steel to listen for a difference and couldn’t tell any differences playing Billie Eilish. That said, I don’t really know what to listen for. The steel one feels about 500g heavier. Cheers, Justin

Item: Steel platter off Project Debut Evo (with TPE damping) Price: Free. Didn't sell on classifieds and I'm hoping to prevent it going into the bin. Item Condition: New Shipping Options: Pickup available Suburb or Town: Richmond State: VIC Further information: This is the steel platter that comes with the new Debut Carbon Evo. It has the TPE damping that is meant to be an improvement on the original. It is 1.7kg. You can have the felt mat too if you want it.

Further information: Matched pair in original boxes that had good test results (so I am told, a couple of years ago now. Written on the inside of the boxes). I was using these in the preamp stage of a Copland amplifier that I have now sold. I can post if required but will prefer pickup Photos:

Further information: Selling my Copland integrated amp that I have enjoyed for the last two years. This model has been well liked here on SNA. Valves/tubes in the preamp stage are Edicron 6922. I can also provide a pair of Siemens for an additional fee that have worked well in this amp previously. The MOSFET power amp stage sounds great and the built quality is excellent with a really satisfying “thunk” to the selectors and smoothness in the volume dial that I still miss in my new amp. It is in great condition. There are a couple of hairline scratches on the very back of the top case and a small mark on the top right of the faceplate but it has been very well looked after. I would rather not post it, but can deliver within a 40 min drive of Richmond Victoria. The specs are: Tubes - ECC88/6922/6DJ8 x 2 Inputs - RIAA, Tuner, Cd, Aux1, Aux2, Tape In Outputs -Tape Out Output Power - 60 watts into 8 ohms Frequency Response - 5Hz-120kHz, -3dB Power Bandwidth - 5Hz-30kHz, -3dB Input Sensitivity - Line-level 130mV; Phono 3mV Input Impedance - Line-level 33k ohms; Phono 47k ohms Dimensions(w x d x h) - 43 x 44 x 11cm Weight - 13kg Photos:

I want to work in your office! Does it distract from your work to flip the record?

I am happy to throw in an extra tube if the tube life is a concern for a potential buyer.

Yes you can switch it out to be passive from the remote. In this model the tube still glows and is heated when it’s passive.

Further information: Schiit Saga (not Saga+) Great condition, purchased from Addicted to Audio here in Melbourne in October. The original valve/tube has slightly loose glass from new, which A2A said is ok. I am happy to swap it for another identical 6SN7 if you would prefer. Power cord and remote included. I can post if necessary but would prefer a local pickup. I can deliver within a reasonable drive of Richmond Victoria. Photos:

Further information: ART DJ Pre II phono preamplifier. Not been used much by me or the previous owner on SNA. Good as a temporary stand-in or a budget phono stage. I am willing to ship if required but will preference a local pickup if possible. I can also deliver within a reasonable distance of Richmond Victoria. Photos:

Empty ProJect Debut box Price: free Item Condition: New Extra Info: This might be useful to someone wanting to transport a turntable. Comes with cardboard spacers etc. Pickup or I can deliver within a reasonable drive of Richmond Victoria. Dimensions are 490x390x260mm

I’m about a year ahead of you in doing a similar thing. You are looking at some nice speakers (I bought a pair of Wyndham BR1). I think floorstanders are a great place to start as long as you are pretty sure you will be able to put them in the main room of whatever apartment you end up in. If there is a chance that you will have to listen in a bedroom in future, maybe steer towards something smaller and a sub. You could get away with any amp (as long as it’s not dodgy) for a while. Some streamers have a decent DAC built in and also serve as a preamp, possibly narrowing down your amp choice. At a later stage you can match amp power to the space you have and/or the sound signature that you want. Active speakers are also a good option if you want to pick a good match for your use case now and not spend time (and money) tweaking the sound down the track. I think two channel will get you better quality audio at a lower price, so you will have to trade off either price or quality if you want to have it double as a surround sound home theatre setup. Trading off some quality here makes it harder to tell the difference between upstream improvements like DACs, cables, streamers etc. The classifieds are great if you want to try out different amps or streamers with the speakers you get.

Item: Schiit Saga and/or Aegir Price Range: Close to retail. $519 for Saga Item Condition: New or Used I’m based in Melbourne, so postage is necessary unless within 5km of Richmond. Extra Info: Also interested in an Australian made preamp instead of you have one.

I have a Modi Multibit you are welcome to try out for a month or so. I have found it to be not quite as nice as a Klein 2 and about the same as the internal DAC in a bluesound node 2i. Let me know you are within 5km of Richmond or 10km if we meet halfway.
