  1. Further Information: If you are here, chances are you know very well what this is - and for absolutely good reasons. This has been the staple and backbone of my audio setup and in many ways a reassuring piece whereby everything else around it can get changed but I would always feel secured knowing that I will be able to rely on re-measuring and have room correction applied, made easy via Dirac Live. Of all the equipment upgrades and purchases I’ve made, this has got to be the single most outstanding, noticable and effective one. Additionally, it is also a very adept preamplifier with streaming capabilities via the built in Volumio app. An excellent video review can be had here by Hans Beekhuyzen: https://youtu.be/zr_oqF9jb-8 I just cannot fault this unit - it sounds great, has excellent build quality and the feature set ticks a lot of boxes. Why sell then? Upgradetitis (we’ve ALL been there), and with a very heavy heart indeed - I am taking a shot at something that requires additional funding and, honestly, will not even promise a positive change but it is something I have to explore lest I regret and then tell the tale (to my own self no doubt as the missus couldn’t care less lol). The unit is in pristine condition, always used in a curtained dedicated audio room, in a house with no pets and no kids (love them, just don’t have them), and no smokers. It also comes with the UMIK measurement microphone, all original accessories and packaging. Pickup is preferred but shipping can definitely be arranged at an agreed cost. Cheers.

  8. Further Information: These power amps are a complete shocker at their price point, being monoblocks at that! First heard them at a friend’s place in NSW, I bought them on a whim to test on my setup. They sound surprisingly amazing for what they cost with a lot of power on tap and look great as well. Build quality is incredible and the reviews on youtube (ie Cheapaudioman) speak volumes. They come with original packaging and used in a kid, pet and smoke free home. Prefer local pickup but can courier at agreed cost. cheers

  11. Thanks for all the interest, everyone. This is now pending pickup.
  12. Further Information: I just bought this off an awesome SNA’er and he bought it from Australian distributor Dacman Audio in July 22. The reviews online say it all - an awesome DAC at this price point with performance that is very hard to better unless you spend substantially more coin. Regretfully selling to fund my audio setup in a different direction. If I had a choice I’d keep it but tough times these days. Comes with original packaging and used in a kid, pet and smoke free home. Prefer local pickup but can ship at agreed cost if required. Cheers.
  13. Further Information: For sale is my Auralic Aries G1. Hands down best value for the money at this price point if one is into streaming and wants a dedicated kickass streamer - the sound, ease of use, and display creates a wonderful holistic streaming experience. A lot of reviews online and used in a kid, pet and smoke free environment. Comes with original packaging. Prefer local pickup but shipping can be arranged at agreed cost.
  14. I have the monos and can say that the brand really surprised me. Big time.
  15. Item: Audio Research Solid State Power Amp Price Range: SNA market price (max $3k) Item Condition: Used in good condition Extra Info: Looking for an ARC solid state power amp (i.e. D200, D240, D300, etc.).
  16. Sorry, all , for the confusion. I did not realise that I had posted in the wrong section. Silly mistake for which I deservedly received a warning. Weird though because the post template is correct and differs from the WTS template? Does it automatically go into a different section if I don’t put ‘WTB’ in the topic? Cheers jon

  18. Item: AES EBU cable (one 0.5m and one 1m) Price Range: Less than $100 per cable Item Condition: Used Extra Info: Experimenting with AES EBU connection hence wanting to get a couple of cables to evaluate the sound (streamer to dsp to dac) before deciding if it is worth spending more. Seeing if anyone’s got affordable spares instead of getting generic ones for my experiment. Thanks!
  19. Item: Denafrips Pontus II Price Range: $1900 - $2000 Item Condition: Used Extra Info:
  20. [SOLD ELSEWHERE] I have a feeling I will regret this but as we all know, there is always an itch we have to scratch in this hobby/passion of ours so up for sale is my much loved McIntosh D100 Digital Preamp and DAC. It has always been a faithful performer and the reviews online speak volumes. I use it as a DAC mainly but even the preamp section is faultless and comes in handy more than one would realise. If I have to describe the sound, it would be lush, controlled, smooth and natural whilst being detailed at the same time. More reasons to love the D100: 1. It’s a McIntosh 2. When its iconic front panel lights up, it’s game on 3. It’s a full width unit and built like a tank, typical McIntosh quality 4. It constantly nudges you to go ‘just one more song…’ because you WILL enjoy the music - the reproduction is amazing 5. Rinse and repeat. Did I already say it’s a McIntosh? Local sale preferred but if required, I can courier with its inner box which is very sturdy. Also advertised elsewhere. Cheers.
  21. If I hadn’t already bought a new pair of speakers…and I’m local!!
  22. Item: Long and low hifi/av rack/unit/cabinet (Brisbane) Price Range: $200-300 but prefer to trade with my Norstone Esse Item Condition: New or Used Extra Info: The missus has decided that my Norstone Esse does not cut it in our new place as she wants a soundbar and bluray player added to the rack in our media room (I shall not complain seeing as she approves of my stereo gears) therefore am looking for a long and low hifi/av rack - at least 1m long with 2 or 3 (preferred) levels. Don’t need anything fancy as long as it is sturdy/solid to serve hifi duties ie fitting in and withstanding typical sized amps at least on the bottom most level. My norstone is in good condition with a few scuffs due to age (from previous owner) and interstate moving but nothing that affects function whatsoever (no paint chips or dings). Jusf trying my luck to see if anyone wants to trade if possible! Many thanks.
  23. **NOTE: Many thanks to all who have messaged me about these to date. Really appreciate the interest. Truly, this is a lot of gear for the money. Due to the nature of my work, I haven’t been able to agree on shipping them out. I will be driving down to Melbourne for Christmas and will be there from 24th to 26th December 2022 so if there is anyone who is interested, I can bring them down with me for pickup in Berwick during that time.** For sale are my Wharfedale Evo 4.2’s with matching Wharfedale Evo 4 stands. I am the first owner of the speakers (approx. 3 months old) and the stands were bought used. Original packaging/boxes available but prefer local sale. They take up residence in my dedicated audio/entertainment room with no kids and pets in the household (love them, just don’t have them). These speakers speak (sing) for themselves - they are large for standmounts and very often I’m caught looking up (whilst surfing on my phone) to be sure and marvel at their sound from both expansive and detailed perspectives. The many online reviews are definite proof of this. They represent a lot of speakers for the money. Only selling as I am upgrading. Cheers.
