Item: AVM Ovation MA 8.2 Monobloc pwr amps Location: Melbourne, Vic Price: $16,000 Item Condition: Excellent Reason for selling: Upgraded to valves. Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD, Bank Cheque, electronic transfer. If Paypal, buyer to pay all fees. Extra Info: These were Marc Rushton's power amps. I bought them in Oct 2017. I said I was never going to have valve power amps again but I changed my mind after I heard the AR Ref 160M which I bought. But I would've happily stayed with the AVM MA 8.2. The AVM monobloc runs the AR pwr amp close. At $16k the AVM MA 8.2 is an affordable end game power amp. RRP was $44,000 for both ($22,000 each). It is rated at 600 watts RMS. It will drive anything with finesse. It is a low noise, low distortion design. This is a very good price for these amps. If you want to spend less, there is the Holton monobloc listed on this site for $15,000. It is Germanic black as you can see by the pictures. It is so black even the white parts are black. If not pickup, buyer to arrange courier. Gross shipping weigh each at about 45kg. W58cm x H38cm x L57cm. Shipped in haulage case as pictured. Photos:

Item: Onkyo (integra) M588f/ P388f Location: sydney Price: $2990+ Free postage!! PRICE DROP Item Condition:Mint/ Excellent Reason for selling: not needed Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: Hi Everyone. I have a set combo of Onkyo(integra) high end pre/power combo. This is a true 240 volts interchangeable unit was sold brand new in sydney around 1994. I am the second owner and this has been sparingly used by both of us. where do i begin..the best combo of pre/power i have heard till date ..period. If u may know the integra was a higer end of onkyo division producing some amazing components..and this is the holy grail of onkyo.The Power amp M588 sits just below the monster grand integra..and it can pump out 300watts of pure power each channel @ 4 ohms.!! Soundwise it puts out a 3 dimentional engaging powerful sound. Extrememy detailed and natural. With the right set of speakers/sources..this would be end game for some. The power amp uses the super balanced circuit design and twin monouaral design transformers! Massive amount of high grade capacitance/ balanced inputs/outputs, gold plated terminals and input rca!! beautifully lit with meters lights This beast weighs in at 32kgs+ Same applies to the matching pre amp. 3 transformers and high end massive capacitors, balanced inputs /outputs are some of the features. All controls are at the tip of a touch..and also an Original R1 Remote is supplied which controls volume and other inputs.( will add pic later) Everything works 100% with absolutely zero static or hiss... as if it just came out of the box. Inside and outside condition is LIKE NEW! Not a single mark! On either units If u look closely at the pics u may see some tiny threads..they are fabric strands from my silly cloth wiping skills. Both units are immaculate and a real oppurtunity for someone to own this classic combo for a fraction of the price. These were 300,000 and 200,000 yen when they came out!! importing these from japan nowadays will set u back at least a solid 5000$ and then u need a step down transformer to run it..which is a pain! These will be packed with extreme care as i have sent many items in the past with no issues. 8-9 layers of bubble wrap/ 2 layers of heavy duty cardboard/ shrink wrap/ pallet strap..this is how nicely it will be packed ! It will take a whole day for me to pack these babies..which is the only way i will be doing this!☺ Sorry for this long post but i think it is important to mention things as clear as possible.

Item: Amber phono amp/ phono stage set up for MM cartridges Location: Melbourne Price: $180 Item Condition: 8/10 Reason for selling: surplus - it's been on a shelf for ten months, time to move it on Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, bank deposit Extra Info: Purchased in 2003 new for $450. I'm the first owner. I don't have the manual. I ran an Iron cartridge (Grado) with it. For no reason except that I had the opportunity because I was having one of my amps checked out by a hairy-armed audio engineer, I took the opportunity also to have this unit checked out last week. Verdict: "It does everything it should. The measurements read correctly at 0 and 20 kHz. The unit is fine and has a lot of electronics in there, I think there's a MC capability in there too. Do you know how to switch it over?" No, I don't. Pictures:

Item: SPL Volume 2 - minimalist active preamp. Balanced/ XLR inputs / outputs. Location: Brisbane Price: $430 firm inc' freight in Australia. RRP $600 plus freight Item Condition: Perfect. Still has box and packaging. Reason for selling: Going to aim higher and get a Pass Labs preamp (gotta start saving for that....) Payment Method: Pickup - Cash (paypal preferred), Postage -Paypal (as a friend or add 3%) Extra Info: This is a truly minimalist active preamp that provides gain and attenuation without any noticeable colouration, distortion or altering of tonal balance. It was been described as approaching "a wire with gain". It's not super flash in design but it features a very well designed layout, well selected components and a sensible lack of bling. It is somewhat like a more techie version of the Schiit gear in terms of aesthetics - you are paying for what's inside, not fancy casework. Features balanced inputs and outputs and an ALPS pot'. A true balanced design. This unit will not fill the roll of a full blown preamp that feature multiple inputs. It would be perfect if you are running active speakers and need a simple, acoustically transparent volume control, or you need a way of adding gain in between something like a PS Audio directstream / junior to a power amp. Can also assist where there is imbalance between the input and output impedance of you source and amplifier. Don't be fooled by the looks or the fact that it is a "pro" piece of gear. it combines very low distortion and colouration and adds a bit of oomph to proceedings. https://spl.info/en/products/monitor-controller/volume2/overview.html http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/spl/volume2_2.html https://spl.info/fileadmin/user_upload/pdf/Vol2_profaudio_1206.pdf - can you speak German?

Item: FOCAL 705V BOOKSHELF SPEAKER BLACK 50% OFF Location: PRESTON Price: SOLD Item Condition: EX-DEMO IN EXCELLENT CONDITION Payment Method: CASH / EFT Extra Info: COMES WITH 5 YEAR WARRANTY Pictures:

Hi there! I'm turning an old speaker system (Panasonic SA-PM54) into a sort of surround sound system, placing the speakers around the room, and I found two old speakers (Realistic Minimus 40-1996B) and I want to plug them in, alongside the speakers that came with the stereo system. However, the back of the Panasonic control box thing (I don't know the correct term), there's four wire input colours; red, black, blue, and white. The regular speakers have all those wires coming out the back of them, but the two extra speakers I found only have red and black inputs. Are the blue and white ones necessary? Can I connect two wires to red and two to black on the speaker and plug one in to each colour on the control box thing? (I've attached pictures in case my explanation was bad) Thanks, Daniel

I see the Conductors are now available in black. And I have to say they look damn good in black. I'm going to copy and paste one of the pics from Burson's site as a demonstration. I love the way that the source selection letters and the volume + and - buttons are still silver. In my humble opinion it looks a million bucks. When I eventually update my Conductor I'll certainly be buying one of those noir units (I hope they are not only available for a limited time or anything). Well done Burson!

Hey guys It seems like my place got struck by lightning or something during the week. Came home to my circuit breaker tripped and my Panasonic plasma not turning on. A bunch of electronics in the place are also fried. Electrician came out and thought it was a strike/surge and that everything (minus the wrecked electronics, i.e. washing machine, foxtel, playstations) was okay. So I got delivered my new Sony KD65X8500B during the day and tonight we've noticed that when certain lights are turned off around the house the tv flicks to black, and in rarer cases, to purple. I'm going to do some more thorough testing tomorrow with sources/cables etc, but I'm thinking it's the house as opposed to the tv. Any thoughts or advice? Thanks

I'm looking for a good condition preloved Japanese made turntable, direct drive. Technics, Pioneer or Kenwood. Prefer a pick up in Perth WA but happy to pay postage for a good deck. I will look at any available offers and would prefer black in colour to match my other gear. Cheers

Item: Trafomatic Premise Amplifier Location: Melbourne Price: $3500 ono. Item Condition: Near Mint Reason for selling: Putting up my WLM Diva's for sale, the Premise is the perfect partner. Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: The Premise is a fantastic amp. The WLM Diva/Trafomatic Premise is the best speaker/amp combo I have ever had in my system. I need to sell a pair of speakers and since I haven't yet sold my wilson benesch's I have put my Diva's up for sale. If they sell and I am left with the W.B then I will need a more appropriate amp match. Here is what our own John Darko had to say about the Premise: "With his Kaivalya monos receiving raves across the board, Sasa Cokic distilled their essence into a gloss-white-lacquered push-pull integrated. The Premise twirls with EL84 tubes; this means super-fast, super clean reproduction without the butterfat that can burden lesser EL34 designs. Musical layering is another standount. Cleverly, Cokic has designed the Premise so that it can be used as a power amplifier and triode/ultra-linear modes are top-plate switchable to suit mood and musical flavour. The former brings a shade more romance, but the delta is sufficiently subtle that you won’t spend all day yo-yo-ing between the two. A glorious and grandiose amplifier that once again proves that bang-for-buck can still be found at the high-end. Don’t be misled: this might look like show-pony hi-fi but the Premise offers performance that you’d be extremely hard-pushed to find for less money. You can show it off to your audiophile mates, it sounds sublime and your partner will be less likely to object to it as a lounge-room centerpiece. A modern classic." Had to argue with JD. Don't underestimate it, this is a high end amp that delivers high end performance. The Premise certainly does pull you into the music. This particular amp is in gloss black rather than the gloss white- just my personal preference. This unit does also come with the $250 optional output to run as a power amp if you want to add your favourite pre into the mix. The amp runs a minimum of 20 watts per channel. Comes with remote. The specs as taken from the Trafomatic website: Specifications: Class of operation: Push Pull class A Triode/ Ultralinerar mode

Weight: 22kg As always, if you have any question regarding either the amp or its sonic abilities, please don't hesitate to ask. If someone out there is in the extremely fortunate position of being able to purchase both the Premise and my listed Wlm Diva's, we can certainly discuss a package price. I have all original packaging. A donation to SNA will be made upon sale of the amp. Pictures: not my best work, sorry about that: looks cool in the flesh, particularly with all those glowing bottles fired up.
