Some serious goodies for sale

I'm preparing for a move in October and need to move some gear to help with that.
First up, my trusty Parasound HCA-750a. I'd say the condition is 7/10 to play it safe, but it looks great. The face has a pencil tip sized scratch that can only be seen from a foot away. Sound wise it is EXCELLENT. Silky smooth. Looking for $175 + shipping via PayPal.

Next, the Dared SL2000a. This little gem has been in the closet since I upgraded to the Rogue Perseus. It comes with NOS Telefunken tubes (from Brock) and the stock rectifier tube. It's a GREAT intro into tubes. The Telefunken's midrange just kills. Looking for $250 + shipping. A steal IMO with the tubes. Jump on it.
I'll take care of the PayPal fee, but I will have these packaged by FedEx which will be factored in. They have always done a great job at packing gear for me and I'll be there to watch them do it. I don't have the time or packing skills to do it myself so I'd prefer to handle it this way. It's a little pricier but the peace of mind is priceless

I'll pull it out later and check for ya.
BTW, I forgot to mention that I do have the remote for the Dared pre but it is not working. Also, it has not been modded at all. -

Wow nice prices. This would make a great system with a nice pair of Polk towers or bookshelves. Personally I would love to try this setup with a LSiM703 or LSi7.
Sigh. A man can dream. GLWS!! -

pitdogg2 has dibs until the end of Monday. I checked out the tubes and they read, "Made in West Germany - ECC801S/6201 - U zn 06" I'll ship the original chinese 12AT7 tubes with this piece as well.
Don't have a clue what it means but they come highly recommended by Brock (Heiny9) and he's the ultimate tube nerd.
PM Coming your way pitdogg2! -
Shane, you need to give me that stinky ol' Oppo in your rig, and start with a shiny new blu ray player.
-
as of right now I need to pass Shane. Batter up for a great pre.

Surprised the Dared is still there at that price. If I didn't already have one I'd be all over it.Setup:

Those are the best of the best Telefunkens and command a hefty price. If I had anything that still used a 12AT7/ECC81 I would have kept them. They are extremely difficult to get at a reasonable price because they are hard to find. These were well matched and lightly used.
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 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul! -
No way the Dared makes it to me, but if it does let me know.Things work out best for those who make the best of the way things work out.-John Wooden

Dared is sold to Inthefade!
He was the first to PM me so I apologize if there was any confusion as to who was next in line. Still have a solid two channel amp up for grabs. Let me know guys.
And thanks for chiming in Brock! -
Thanks again audiocr381ve. I temporarily hooked up the dared yesterday with only the Chinese tubes.
Long story but we've been doing a little work on the house and the last on the list is setting back up the two channel system. It's been months but minutes after setting things up the kids were dances around the floor. We might just bump 2 channel up the list.
A fellow polk was generous ex ought to send a nos tube my way so I might set everything back up this weekend for a listen. I'm dying to put the tele's in.
Thanks again. Packaging was awesome by the way. -

You got it and I'm glad to hear it made it safely! Would love to hear your thoughts once it's up and running.
