I am just finishing up the final adjustments/repairs on this very nice VZN-80 Emerald (a factory upgraded to MKIII spec) "Stereoblock" OTL power amplifier. TO get this amp ready to my standards for sale, I have done the following work/checks/tests: - All tubes tested. The 6C33's are in excellent shape and so were the small tubes except for most of the (4) NOS 6DJ8 tubes which have been replaced with NOS EI 6DJ8's. - All tube sockets were inspected and tested to be in very good condition except for one 6350 tube socket which is being replaced with a new one. A few of 6C33 tubes socket contacts got a bit of cleaning and adjusting of contacts as necessary to ensure they are making good tight contact with tube pins. - The 4 (6DJ8) tube bias push-button switches (which are prone to partial shorts leading to inaccurate LCD meter readings See More

This NAIM Uniti Atom Streamer (Headphone Edition) is in excellent condition and complete with remote, factory packaging, etc. While this can be used as a headphone only streamer, it does have high quality balanced and RCA preamp outputs. It can also act as a DAC and has optical and coax RCA digital inputs. These units can stream from multiple streaming services and you can even Apple AirPlay to them. These retail for $3,800 when new, and this unit is yours for only $1,750 plus shipping. This Uniti Atom is in perfect working order - it was recently serviced by the original owner because it was showing error on its web-portal/diagnostic page which was not impacting his performance/operation, but he wanted to make sure it was in perfect working condition before trading it in.

This! . . . is a great deal! These 9 year old Ryan Speakers R610 two-way bookshelf are in very good condition, and complete with factory boxes, manual, and upgraded/custom bi-wire jumpers (Cardas wire) and Merlin spec std RC Networks. They were $2,000/pair retail new. Yours for only $850 plus shipping! These have a somewhat neutral (not dry) well balanced sound with very good soundstage and imaging. Good bass output to the low 40's that is well tuned (not loose/boomy). Reasonably efficient and 8 ohms ohms load means they work/sound great with tubes or solid state amps. Cosmetically they do have a couple minor blemishes (see pics). Feel free to call, e-mail, or message with any questions or a request to purchase. These are well boxed and would ship via FedEx ground or you can pick them up/buy them direct from us locally. Sales tax does apply to all inside See More
This is a special one for you Joule-Electra and Signature Sound fans out there. This is a specially modified/upgraded OPS-1 all tube MM/MC phono preamp by yours truly. We made these series of modifications for owner of this preamp who has moved on to other things/gear/methods. This started off life as a bone stock 2008 OPS-1 that is in excellent condition with factory box and manual and then made the following upgrades: - Inter-stage coupling capacitors (4) upgraded to V-Cap ODAM audio capacitors - Main output coupling capacitors (2) upgraded to Jupiter Copper foil paper wax audio capacitors - Custom lead wrapped tube shields to reduce RFI/EMI noise with ground wires - Custom umbilical cable made with Audience OFC copper wire along with upgraded power wiring inside the power supply As well, this preamp comes with 3 pairs of RCA loading resistors plugs (100 ohms, 150 ohms, and 400 ohms)- See More
If that Joule-Electra LA-150SE we have for sale is too rich for your blood, how about a "basic" 🙂 Joule Electra LA-150MKII (the 150SE is a upgraded 150MKII) line stage preamp for just $2,150 plus shipping. These are great preamps and feature that organic natural tone and great sound-staging which Joule preamps are famous for. This unit was made in 2007 and we have given it a full check up and fixed a couple common issues these have (loose Standby/Operate switch which will not loosen up again and a cracked/warped clear acrylic line stage circuit board hanger replaced with a new stronger version I make). All tubes have been tested and are in great shape and we have also calibrated line stage operating settings to factory specs. In other words, this preamp is ready to go and will give problem free use for many years. Retail new, these were over See More

SOLD! If anyone is looking for a very good subwoofer, I have this JL Audio Fathom F110 (original version) for sale. This unit is in great condition (I could only find one or two minor cosmetic blems- see pics) and works great. Come with factory box, power cord, calibration mic etc. Yours for $1,100 plus ship. It has lots of set-up flexibility so you run your main speakers full range and set the sub to run "underneath" the speakers up (from around 25Hz) to as low as 30Hz to fill in the bottom end were many other subs will only let you cut off the top end of the sub above 50 or 60Hz (or more). Great build quality, performance, and many positive reviews. This bugger is about 85 lbs shipping weight, so price is plus shipping. Or, of course you can pick it up here at Signature Sound (NY See More
