StereoNET - Mark Gusew 24 June 2020 "In terms of the Black cables, your cash or plastic will buy you a product which is a reflection of the integrity of the people behind the brand. EGM Audio’s Black ML Reference AC cables are handcrafted in Australia featuring high standards of construction, generous material content, quality conductors and proper connectors in a very affordable package.

  4. Further Information: Only two years old in excellent condition Original double box packaging including documentation Firmware is up to date "The DirectStream Power Plant 12 is the successor to the venerable P5 Power Plant. The P12 is completely redesigned from the ground up with three times lower output impedance, lower distortion, a new FPGA based DSD sine wave generator, and an improved level of performance never before attained by any Power Plant of its size. Power Plants take your incoming AC power and regenerate new sine-wave-perfect, regulated high current AC power. In the process of regeneration any problems on your power line such as low voltage, distorted waveforms, sagging power and noise are eliminated. The results are both audibly and visually stunning when powering either audio or video products. Further, the level of protection afforded connected equipment is extraordinary. Feel 100% confident that a P12 will provide pure and safe power under any condition. The DirectStream Power Plant 12 features an all new analog power amplifier and FPGA sine wave generator based on pure, clean, analog DSD (PDM). The P12 is our most powerful compact regenerator with 1250 watts of pure power. From medium to large power amplifiers to the smallest pieces of source equipment, the P12 will work magic on your system’s performance. Dynamics and openness are breathtaking with the P12. This is clearly one of the most important pieces of audio equipment you can own. Expect far better micro and macro dynamics as well as a cleaner, lower noise background. Don’t starve your music or risk damaging your equipment. A P12 gives you greatly improved performance and safety from just plugging into the wall socket and far better dynamics, bass and a much bigger, open soundstage than any passive power conditioner on the market. Why settle for anything but a Power Plant?" This is one of those additions/tweaks to your system that really does deliver as promised.
  5. Further Information: A top Australian made High End Power Cord which will have a positive impact on any system. "Harmonics are one of the first characteristics that all KLEI cables excel in. Texture was fine, silky and organic. Extension was clean, clear and extended. This added more realness to female vocals. The control of the decay was evident by the darker quieter background that was mentioned earlier. The leading edge was sharp, clean and precise. This added to the speed and attack and accuracy of the sound delivered. Accuracy verified by the involuntary toe tapping test. Lower bass was tight, deep and resolved. Upper bass and lower mids were pure and had weight that brought a palpable reality to the recordings. Upper mids and treble were clean, clear and extended as already outlined. The KLEI™zPurity8 AC power cables delivered a huge stage. It was wider, but also had height and significantly more depth. Instruments were anchored to the holographic stage for the presentation as the speakers disappeared and the performance lived. PRaF(patent pending… lol) or Pace Rhythm and Flow was there in spades. The realness and organic feel of a live performance drew us listeners in. It was pure, it was musical. In conclusion these cables are like other KLEI products that I have trailed and purchased. They get out of the way and let your components work easier and better together. The musical presentation is real and alive. The ghost of poorly recorded or distorted highs and extensions are exorcised from your system and the purity of an intimate live performance is manifested in your lounge room…"
  6. I like it very much. It can take a while to appreciate it and to get the best out of it. There are a lot of different settings available and while some, such as the up to 6 filters available for each audio stream resolution are quite subtle, others such as mapping, each sound quite different. If you are used to some lesser DACs which can sound bright and shiny up front, Bartok can at first sound reserved, but its detail and naturalness keeps you listening. No listener fatigue here. It appreciates good cables. Golden Sound claimed it was too smooth. See above.
  7. XA30.8 driven by dCS Bartok - which is why I don't need a pre.
  8. Further Information: Note: Price includes freight This highly regarded Pass preamplifier is available for sale. Highly transparent and very musical, it represents tremendous value for money. Absolute Sound 2023 Buyers Guide "The XP-12 line-level preamp forgoes dual-chassis extravagance but sonically you wouldn’t know it. Music abounds with stunning orchestral layering and complex three-dimensional sound-space vistas. There’s a level of harmonic bloom across the spectrum, most notably in the infusion of resonance and decay cues around strings and winds. Anchored by the precision of Wayne Colburn’s single-stage electronic volume control from the Xs line, the XP-12 produced an almost eerie sense of music spontaneously bursting forth in the here and now. An outright bargain." Other Reviews Pass Labs XP-12 Preamplifier and XA25 Amplifier - The Absolute Sound PASS LABS XP-12 preamplifier and XA30.8 ~ The Sound Advocate
  9. Further Information: Lenehan Foil Flex XLR in as new condition. These are highly regarded Australian made cables - see reviews. Price includes seller's fee. REVIEWS Hifi-Advice - Christiaan Punter February 2020 “ The FoilFlex cables have no such pitfalls, their sound is very coherent and fast and open from top to bottom. A hallmark of a great cable is that I forget to take note at a certain point during my assessments and just listen to the music. This is what happens with the FoilFlex cables. Once connected, they can just remain in place, never to be given a second thought again… unless… unless one intentionally wants to color the sound one way or another.” “ Conclusion . FoilFlex aims to provide very high performance as well as great value and if there’s one thing that my experience with these cables made clear it is that this is no hollow claim. Both the speaker cables and interlinks provide absolutely insane quality considering their relatively low cost." Yes, they can be bettered but only when spending much more, and even then, they can only be improved upon in certain aspects. These cables’ strongest attributes are transparency and resolution and in these fields, they are near-impossible to beat, even when the cost is no object. If hearing precisely what is in the recordings is the objective then I wholeheartedly recommend giving these cables a go. “ High Fidelity - Wojciech Pacula April 2020 " The FoilFlex cables conveyed it very accurately - almost as well as the Siltech Triple Crown cables, they were compared to. Silver cables from the Netherlands sound darker, have a more velvety background, but these differences were quite small. “ “ But I say this, comparing them to the extremely expensive competition, to the best speaker cables I know. And even in this comparison Australian cables surprised me with excellent dynamics, speed and slam. Because these are just very good cables. They sound neutral, but also natural, show a lot of details, but are not overly detailed. You can hear that it is a product that came from love - love of music. "

  12. Good morning from sunny Adelaide I think regular post with a large box would be $20.75 - which would be without tracking and may take a while. Express Post with tracking is $27.05. How about we split and call it $290.00? Half price for gear that has had less than a month's use seems pretty good. Cheers Pieter

  15. Further Information: Starlight 8 Ethernet utilizes an innovative flat and parallel twinax conductor geometry that supports extreme transmission speeds and reduces noise for the most lifelike reproduction of streamed music and video. The patented Tite-Shield™ design has twelve internal shields that isolate noise for improved sound and video quality. The official network cable categories (ie., Cat5/6/7/8) only include twisted pair cables, so these non-twisted twinaxial cables cannot be rated by those test specifications. However, it is interesting to note that the 100Gb/s (QSFP+) Ethernet cables used in internet server installations are also twinax designs.

  17. That's great to hear. It holds its own very well against a lot of the competition
  18. Further information: Highly regarded Audioquest Diamond usb cable. 1.5m in length and in perfect condition. Fantastic cable, very clean and detailed.
  19. Further information: This is an opportunity to obtain an as new Auralic Aries G2.1 Streaming Transporter at a healthy discount. It was purchased in January 2022 to replace an Auralic Aries Femto, and totally confirmed my view that the quality of the Streamer matters a lot in a digital audio playback system. This is one of those devices that shows how you can not know what you are missing till you hear it. After being able to upgrade to a top-line streaming DAC which recently came available, my G2.1 is now surplus to requirements. It is an outstanding device and after being able to compare both back and forth, can confirm it is a major upgrade from the Auralic Aries G2. The current retail price for this unit is $8,495.00 It will be shipped in its original box including the aerials (not shown).
  20. Further information: This is a very powerful commercial quality NAS running the latest QNAP software and represents excellent value. Can take either spinning disks or SSD It was puchased about 5 -6 years ago as a file server for a business where it was used for about a year. I've since used it at home for file backup and as a Roon Server. Included are 3 3TB Western Gigital Red Hard Drives configured to RAID 5. The replacement model is selling for $1,900 without any hard drives included.
  21. Further information: I've had this very well regarded DAC since 2018 and have appreciated its musicality, engagement and excellent sound. This is still the flagship "OG" model from Schiit with RRP of AUD$4,200 and holds its own against much more expensive DACs. It was upgraded with the Analog 2 board by Addicted to Audio in 2019 and the Unison USB board was installed in 2021. See photos. There are some very faint rub marks on the case and one scratch on the right rear which you can see in the photos. I covered the notoriously bright LEDs with opaque stickers. These easily peel off but I've left them in case they are still needed. Will be shipped in original box
  22. Don't know how that happened! Banana plugs are at the amplifier end. Text in the advert fixed.
  23. Further information: An opportunity to obtain a 2m pair of Mike Lenehan's well regarded and excellent sounding Foilflex cables terminated with banana plugs at the amplifier end and spades at the speakers. Current retail $1,460. These cables are just over 6 months old (Dec 2021) but are now surplus. These are one set of two pairs that have been used in a bi-wire configuration. If you have a need or can do so, cannot recommend highly enough the benefit of using speaker cables as opposd to jumpers. 2nd set also advertised.
