Vagabond1503559575 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Item location is 2773, preference is for local pickup (most especially, I will not post the sub unless the buyer organises it). Prices are, I think, reasonable. I can probably flog it all on ebay for more but if you want all the items we can talk. 1. HSU Research STF2 http://www.hsuresearch.com/products/stf-2.html $250 Black. Vinyl. Downfiring 10" driver, 200W plate amp. I've had this a fair while and it hasn't missed a beat. Originally purchased from the Australian distributor (OK, I've had it for ages). No marks that I can see. This is a proper sub, and it measures flat to below 20Hz in my room. YMMV. This would be an excellent upgrade for anyone disappointed with their HTIB "sub" or perhaps to provide real bass for a computer. Could also be used as a near-field sub to even out room response. 2. Emotiva UMC-1 Home theatre Pre-processor. http://www.audioholics.com/av-preamp-processor-reviews/emotiva-umc-1-video $350 This is also a few years old. V.good condition, with an unused remote (useful for banging in fence posts). In the original box so can post at buyers expense. Latest firmware, no known issues. This has been very stable for ages now, but it was time to upgrade (it will not pass through 3D video). Note that you will need power amps with this as it is a processor rather than a receiver. This would be an especially good buy for someone happy with their old receiver but who wants HDMI connectivity and decoding for lossless audio formats. 3. Emotiva Gen 2 Processor Upgrade, 40% Discount. $500 This entitles the owner to a 40% upgrade on a new pre/pro from Emotiva. The current model is the XMC-1 http://emotiva.com/products/pres-and-pros/xmc-1 which seems to be getting some good reviews now that it has Dirac enabled. Current notional value of the card in AUD is $1000, will split the difference. (XMC is USD2000, discount is therefore worth $800 which at current exchange rates is as near to $1000 as makes no odds). Note that it isn't a physical card, Emotiva keep a record of discounts due to international buyers, but they assure me they can transfer ownership across no probs. Can provide pictures if anyone is interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagabond1503559575 Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 Bumping this, people seem to be asking for cheap pre/pros. Face value on the upgrade card is now at AUD1050 on an XMC-1. If you're looking to wait and use it on an XMR-1 (whenever that is, and assuming a USD5K price) the face value is upward of $2600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the exchange rate remains the same as now, the card will have a face value of AUD1270. So make me an offer*, get in before the price rise! *as long as the offer is around half the value of the card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vagabond1503559575 Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 Have you tried ebay? thats where things sell for more. I'll try ebay if I ever get desperate enough, but I'd rather get less than throw free money to a multinational leech. Who knows, someone may want this stuff at some point, they just don't know it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
