Our demo Rega Aya speakers are now for sale. Retail new these are $2,295/pair and our one year old demo's (with warranty) are yours for $1,195 plus shipping (also available for local pick up). They will come with factory packaging and manual. Cosmetic condition (as these were NOT cosmetically perfect out of the box when new) is very good: Front is mostly perfect, but the Glass Reinforced Cement cabinet on these speakers do not hold their finish perfectly uniformly with age. Their weight (around 30lbs each) makes them easy to handle and place. So, don't buy them for their looks/cosmetics (though I can see why some people will like the look/design - not my cup of tea), buy them for their sound. HiFi Pig says "Elevator Pitch Review: The Rega Aya are a £1500 compact floor-standing speaker that aim to get your feet tapping along to your favourite music. They See More

Because we use different turntable mats, TTPSU Power supply wall wart, counterweight, TTPSU to turntable cable on our demo table, ALL these items are new/unused (see pics). This table does NOT come with a cartridge (you can supply your own or we can package a new cartridge from Rega, Hana, Dynavector - contact us for a package price or cartridge recommendation fore this turntable)
This is a interesting one! This three year old pair of Shahinian Acoustics LARC speakers in Oak with matching custom Oak stands made just for the speakers. These little speakers have the unique design philosophy that all Shahinian speakers share with drivers the send the sound up and around the room. Made for close to the wall placement, though because these are pretty small, for modest or larger size rooms, adding a subwoofer to use with them is probably a good idea. The speakers apparently were around $3,500/pair new (not including the stands), this used pair is in excellent shape, work great, have factory box and can be yours with the stands for $1,950. Here is some info we found about the speakers: "Shahinian Acoustics make speakers that attempt to recreate sound as naturally as possible. In nature sounds tend to radiate in all directions from a point. Shahinian have See More
SOLD! Two years old this April, this is our excellent condition Power Modules Belles Aria Dual Mono SIGNATURE Integrated amp. This amp is basically the predecessor and very similar to the current Power Modules Belles Aria 100I integrated amp ($4,995 retail) that is available now and shares many of the improvements Dave Belles has incorporated into his current series of amps. This amp features dual mono topology inside, one XLR input, HT (direct) bypass input, and pre out. UNLIKE current Aria 50I/100I integrated amps, this unit does NOT have a built in MM phono preamp. It comes complete with factory box, manual, and remote control and has seen light use. Besides certain specific amps (Ars Sonum or Joule -Electra stuff), this demo amp only saw use during initial break in and then when needed for a specific customer demos, so it has maybe 250 hours at most of use. We See More
Some very cool hot new Ars - Sonum gear is going to be on display at Hi-End Vienna this June!
Some interesting new arrivals to expand our offering on the digital front: Shanling's SCD 3.3 SACD Player ($3,995) which features a R2R type ladder DAC and tube buffered output stage (this player can also function as a DAC OR a transport too!). Next up the the Shanling SCD1.3 SACD Player ($1,595) which in addition to being able to stream/play music via BT and Apple Airplay can also act as a DAC and transport! Both units are breaking in and sounding quite good so far. Build quality also looks/feels top notch.
More details.thoughts to come once I've had more time to spend listening to both units.
SOLD!
Just in, this used Rega Planar 1 turntable is now for sale. Comes with brand new Audio Technica AT 3600L MM phono cartridge (this is basically the same cartridge as the Rega Carbon which Rega sources from A-T). It's in perfect working order with factory box, manual etc. Cosmetic condition is good to very good (dust cover has few marks and the typical light swirly marks they tend to get from use, gloss white plinth is very good - excellent). Retail new $595, yours for only $350 plus shipping.

Now selling on consignment, this just serviced (by me) pair of Joule-Electra Stargate mono block power amps. They have around 20W/ch (factory spec is 30W, but from what I see on my workbench its less than that). They are now in perfect working order. The power supplies have been fully re-capped, bias push-button switches replaced, several tubes replaced, new LCD meters, and more (over $1,500 of parts and labor). Price: $3,000 plus shipping. I have spent many hours running these amps, swapping around tubes to get them very stable and quiet, ensuring the 6C33's decently match, etc. The come with nice brass cones screwed into the bottom panel. I will back them with a 90 day warranty on parts and 30 days on tubes. Cosmetically they come as you see them (less the labels/posit-its stuck on them)... I would rate the cosmetic condition as good on the black chassis and See More
