A long time customer recently traded in a LONG pair of good ol Cardas Hexlink Golden 5C Interconnects in great condition. We sent the pair off to Cardas to have them made into a bunch of 1.0m and 1.5m RCA and XLR Pairs. Back in the day, this was Cardas Audio's best interconnect and still is a wonderful warm, musical, and dimensional sounding cable. The very high quality copper and dielectric materials that Cardas has always used ensures these sound as good today as when new and will last for many more years! All cables have brand new factory terminations by Cardas complete with certificate. The 1.0m pairs are yours for $295/pair and the 1.5m pairs are $345/pair.

SOLD! (all of them!)
This used Joule-Electra LA-150MKII preamp is in excellent condition. Its a one owner unit which was made/bought in 2012 (which likely makes it one of the later/last samples of these preamp as Jud Barber retired and shunt down Joule-Electra around 2013). This preamp is complete with manual, remote, and facotry box. I have given the preamp a through check-up: test all tubes, check gain, operation of power supplies, set operating point and DC tube filament supply settings, fixed the somewhat loose power/standby/operate switch (a common problem on these preamp which I have a permanent fix for so the control will not get loose or spin ever again), etc. All tubes inside are in excellent shape (no Russian tubes in this preamp - all NOS USA made stuff). Cosmetically it is in excellent condition. The high gloss black lexan faceplate on these do tend to get some fine swirl marks just form use/operation, so if you reflect a light just right off the faceplate you can see some of that so I am giving the preamp a 8/10 rating.Retail new, these preamps were $5,250 when new and you can get this fine sample for just $2,250 plus shipping. These are superb sounding tube preamps which have a nice touch of warmth/body and very good soundstage and imaging.
Why buy a used Joule Preamp from a company that is no longer in business from me? I have extensive knowledge of the design and operation of these preamps and am basically considered the "go to" guy for Joule-Electra information, service, support, upgrade etc. So, while Joule-Electra may no longer be around - I am here to help you if needed.
What's with the extra set of RCA Jacks in between the CD and AUX1 inputs??? They are actually wired to (in parallel with) the AUX1 input.... which on Joule LAP series preamps (i.e.line stage preamp with optional on board OPS-1 phono preamp) is the input to the phono stage and the extra set of RCA jacks in parallel are used for loading plugs. Jud Barber apparently used a rear panel for a LAP-150MKII to make this LA-150 Line stage. Why??? Wild ass guess is that Jud had this rear panel built before the order for this preamp came in and to speed production used it to make a Line Stage. Will it effect anything??? No. I'll put a pair of Cardas RCA caps on the extra RCA's so you don't accidentally plug anything into them.
Its time for our littler more than one year old demo Rega Planar 6 with factory mounted Ania MC phono cartridge to go find a new home. Less than 100 hours on the table/cartridge and it is in mint condition, with box, manual, and full Rega warranty. Retail new $2,595 - yours for only $1,895.

We don't usually sell used phono cartridges unless we know the customer who traded it in and we can vouch to some degree for the condition and hours, which is what we have here with this really nice Dynavector DV20X2L. Its in excellent shape and been very well cared for with a estimated 250 or less hours. New, a DV20X2 is $1,150, but this used one is a great value for only $595 plus shipping. It comes complete with a factory box and packaging so it can be safely shipped anywhere. These cartridges are a great match for the Rega Planar 6 or a nicely upgraded Planar 3 or older P5 etc etc.
