FS: Dali DaCapo Speakers

$
0
0

Item: Dali DaCapo Speakers with 1 x new spare ribbon
Location: N.E Victoria
Price: $1000

Item Condition: Very Good

Reason for selling: Too many speakers (culling the herd)
Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal + fees, EFT, COD


Extra Info:

 

I purchased these from another SNA'er a few months ago as I was keen to listen to these Dali classics. They are quite transparent but as you would expect from small ribbon (hybrid) speaker they don't have deep bass and would benefit from a good sub (which I don't have) I currently have way too many speakers so I'm listing these. At the price they are somewhat of a sonic bargain. They do need a decent amp to drive them (not sure about valves as I don't have any valve power amps) I have tried them with Ayre MX-R's and a Parasound A21 and they are quite nice. 

 

As these don't have the boxes I would not be willing to ship them, but would be happy to bring them to Melbourne or half way to Sydney (from Albury). I picked them up from Gosford and they will fit in the back of a reasonable size hatchback or in a station wagon.

 

 

 

Condition is very good as seen (from the photos of a previous listing). One of the ribbons has replaced with a brand new unit. Another brand new spare is included with this sale ($200 value).

For Sale. Cary 805 Anniversary Edition Mono Blocks.

Item:  Cary 805ae (anniversary Edition) Mono Blocks
Location: Adelaide
Price:  $6,500 + postage
Item Condition: Excellent 8.5/10
Reason for selling: All going. Never achieved the sound I desired.
Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal,  E.F.T.COD Only
Extra Info:

I purchased these amps 2nd hand from Nik at Audiophile on  26/4/2013.

They are approximately 10 years old, the original Cary 300Bs were tested 27/6/2005 so they will have been produced around that date.

From information received at the time these were "Dave's" amplifiers who moved to the CAD 211 FE Mono Blocks. I am hopeful Dave might be an SNA member.

There are countless reviews on the Internet to form an opinion but I was unable to achieve a satisfying sound in the context of my system.

 

Any Issues?

 

I would recommend a full health check from a talented tech, these are 10 year old 211/845 based amplifiers.  There are howevr  no signs of any problems.

The serial numbers on the rear of the amplifiers are almost impossible to read (heat? too much windex?) but the supplied boxes come with the serial numbers. Nik at Audiophile will vouch for their pedigree to serious purchasers.

 

Any Damage?

 

There is one small "ding" on one of the transformer covers. (See photos) Otherwise they are things of industrial beauty.

 

What do I get?

 

2 x Cary 805 Anniversary Edition Mono Blocks  (Double original boxed plus huge shipping crated)

2 x Elrog 211 Valves, first used 5/5/14  (Cost $2,100)  approx 300hrs use

2x Black Treasure 300Bs  approx 300hrs use

2x Cary branded 300bs   lots of hours

4 x Black Base RCA 6sn7s.  (old and not that good, get some new ones ASAP!)  (Keeping my good ones)

2 x Chinese 211s  unknown hours

2 x Chinese 845s unknown hours.

Recommend me sheilded interconnects

Hi folks,

I'm using unsheilded interconnects that are prone to causing hummm and buzz. So i'm considering sheilded. They will go between a lightspeed attenuator and poweramp. What can you recommend for under $150 per pair? Blue jeans look good value for money, can they be beaten on sound within my budget?

Cheers
GW

Full details are yet to be translated, but I'm excited about the announcement of two new integrateds from Esoteric. 

 

F-03A is Pure Class A 30w

F-05 is Class A/B 120w

 

Both will include a 3-band defeatable tone control, and what appears to be a phono stage (may be optional) and an optional dac board. They have fully balanced dual-mono pre-amp sections.

 

Full specs will be posted here when available: http://www.krispyaudio.com.au/categories/Amplifiers/Integrated-Amplifiers/

Item: Bent Audio Tap X Passive Preamp - Fully Balanced
Location: Geelong, Vic
Price: $3000
Item Condition: Excellent
Reason for selling: Unforeseen circumstances
Payment Method: Cash on Pick up
Extra Info:

 

Available here is something that next to never pops up on the open market! This is a rare chance to get your hands on this world class preamp.

Getting extremely hard to find as John Chapman of Bent Audio has not made these preamps for over 18 months.

This particular preamp has the lot. A very versatile, very well made and extremely nice sounding unit. If you're reading this you're probably well aware of this unit and it's performance.

The unit itself has 2 Balanced XLR Out's, 2 Unbalanced RCA Out's, 2 Balanced XLR In's, 4 Unbalanced RCA In's, RCA Tape Out, 3 Expansion Port Out's and 1 Expansion Port In. And of course, a full digital volume display and very heavy, very well made metal remote.

You'd be hard pressed to find a better sounding preamp up to $10K.

​Hi guys,

 

​I'm after a rack for my gear. Preference to a 4 tier rack but 3 tier may also suit.

Long shot, but I have monoblocks so if anyone has shorter, single type stands as well I may be keen.

​Looking for a well built and solid set up.

I'm in Victoria.

                   its superb quality and sonic performance in cables and tweaking tools.
                   Bought it from S'pore retailer few years ago, the Ref gold series pair yields very airy trebles, rich mids and punchy bass.

Professional Sound Quality. Unbelievably powerful

This has a smooth, large soundstage and good amount of detail. The most surprising aspect about it is its ability to drive 600 ohm headphones! Basically, it can power all high impedance headphones. This is an excellent startup source for HD650/600/700, R70X , DT880 and others. It is probably the cheapest DAC/AMP solution that can power those headphones. This is including comparison to desktop solutions!

 

Please refrain from low-balling. It is wasting everyone's precious time.

 

I'm happy to give more detailed impression or answer any questions regarding the product.
