I finally have 100 posts. So, some things I've been looking to sell for various amounts of time.
Sennheiser HD650s - $300 shipped/paypal'd
These have the old driver in them and are probably ~5 years old. I am the third owner, and they are in spectacular condition. I'm still not entirely sure I want to sell them, because I do love the smoothness of them. I just figure I'm too young to cling onto things, so I'd like to try out some DT880s. Pictures can be found in my Head-Fi sale thread.
Darkvoice 336SE - $350 shipped/paypal'd
Much the same situation as the HD650s. Not entirely sure I want to part ways with it, but I want to try different things. Please note: this unit has been modified and has had nearly every part inside replaced and upgraded. Modifications were not done by me, but I have been the owner for almost six months without a single issue. The only parts that are still fully stock are the output capacitors (three 10uF films in parallel). Sale will also include all 6SN7s and 6AS7/6080 tubes that I have gathered over the course of my ownership.
Included tubes:
Adcom GFA535 - $100 shipped
Originally purchased on these forums from daboyz. It is in the same shape as when I bought it, but somewhere along the line an overly tight RCA plug seems to have ripped the metal part of the white RCA jack. It still works fine, as I was still using it while I fixed my monoblock amps, but I did knock $10 off the price I paid.
Grant Fidelity TubeDAC-09 - $140 shipped
Very similar to the Maverick Audio D1 and predecessor to the current model, the TubeDAC-11. I just recently won it in an auction on Audiogon, but I really have no use for it, since I won my Stello DA100 Signature at the same time. I figure someone else might have a use for it. The face is in great condition, but there is a scuff on the top of the case. Seller rated it at a 7/10 on the Audiogon scale, and I agree. Comes with the stock tube, a JAN 5670W and a National Electronics 396A (apparently manufactured by Western Electric). I don't have any pictures of it, but can take some if needed.

Included tubes:
- Tung-Sol 6SN7 GTB Tall Bottle
- Sylvania 6SN7 GTB - received with the amp, removed shortly thereafter
- Ken-Rad VT-231 - black bottle, has a slight hum and is microphonic, base is a little loose, still sounds amazing
- 2x RCA 6SN7 GTB - basically NOS, still in amazing shape
- CBS Hytron 6SN7 - basically NOS, still in amazing shape
- 2x Sylvania JAN-CHS 6SN7W GT - brown base, chrome dome, NOS (about 10 hours each used)
- GE Five Star 6080 - not in the greatest shape, but functional
- 2x RCA 6080 - bases have some oxidation, but tested fully NOS when I bought them
- Svetlana 6H13C - coke bottle, new production

Nice to see your jibberish to get to 100 posts paid off.
Good luck with your sales
H9"Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Puritan Audio PSM136 Pwr Condtioner & Classic PC's | Legend L600 | Roon Nucleus 1 w/LPS - Tubes add soul! -

BTW, is that DAC black face or silver face?“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'”

I'll have to take some pictures of it later. Sonically it is just fine - I've never encountered an issue with it. -

Yeah I'm just having trouble visualizing the fault with the RCA jack, are the RCA jacks drop in replacements similar to binding posts? Thanks
