I picked up a couple things in my travels around the globe, hunting Bigfoot/Yeti.
Pronto TSU3000 Remote Control - Gray - 9/10 - *SOLD* to the man in the Yellow hat
This is a great remote but when I decided to actually sit down and set it up for some different gear, realized I have 2 of them. I'm not quite sure what brain cramp occured to make that happen but there it is.
It's crazy user programmable and everything can be done on the computer then downloaded to the unit. I wouldn't call the interface as simple as the Harmony remote but it's equally capable and more thorough. It's a monocromatic display and if you want to bash your children on the head with it, no problem.
The link is to the current TSU3500 which is very similar. It isn't listed in the Philips archive for some reason. This is sometimes refered to as the Pronto NG now, from what I gather on the website.
Includes: Original boxes and packkaging, remote control, charging base, battery & USB cable.
Information:
3.8" High contrast LCD touchscreen
16bit Greyscale
4 MB memory
Infrared & Radio-Frequent(RF) control
USB

Conrad Johnson PV-7 Tube Pre-Amp - Gold/Black - 8/10 - *SOLD* to DAGLJAM
The gold standard when it comes to tube pre-amps. I was turned onto this model pre-amp WAY back at SC Polkfest I at Troy's house. It's a really magical piece of gear. Not in the fairy dust, wizards and lightning bolts way...but in realistic representation and musical detail. It's a little darker in presentation than my Cary SLP-98 but was nonetheless impressive on all levels. This is an old school giant killer.
It's classic CJ gold with a black chassis.
EDIT: The modified tube compliment is a pair of vintage, matched Telefunken for the Phono stage and a triad of NEW, matched EH 12AX7 for the Line stage(Thx Russman!). The faceplate is PERFECT, no dings or scratches, color is great but the chassis has a couple small scratches and is missing some screws from tube rolling. I adjusted the source knob selector and cleaned everything with CAIG products to include lube for the pots and they are spot-on.
If someone wants to buy a Cary SLP-98 F1(Jag Blue) tube pre-amp, just email me, hell I'll keep the CJ no problem, but you'll need more money

Jolida JD-100 Tube CD player - Silver - 10/10* - *SOLD* to whitetruk
I picked this up for an install but the "client" changed his mind and we went another route. This is NIB but I have to at least get my ear on it, in my home rig.
What can I say, it's got a huge following in the audiophile community and F1Nut performed probably the most over the top, balls to the wall mod ever created to his stock Jolida player a month or so ago....with great results from what I've read.
It's currently bone stock and ready for your consumption. I can only comment on what I've heard @ Polkfest and Jesse's house and this is definetly a very nice CDP. The Polkfest demo was stellar but so was everything in the audio chain. As soon as you stumbled out of the love nest, you ran into a CDP heavyweight, Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista. It was absolute torture to listen to all that good stuff down there
If you're undecided about whether a tube CDP makes sense, this will put you in a real dilehma. I'm sure that enough positive reviews of this player can readily be found on the internet.
Construction Details and Features:
Gain stage utilizing two 12AX7A vacuum tubes. Unit does not utilize op-amps.
Two transformers.
24/96 Burr Brown DAC.
Phillips CDM 12 Transport System.
Programmable for up to twenty-four tracks.
Full - function random access metal remote control with search function.
Track repeat and index of track search function.
Variable Headphone output.
Technical Specifications:
Frequency Response: + 0.5dB, 20Hz to 20KHz
S/N Signal to Noise Ratio: > 102dB
THD + N Distortion: < 0.01%, 1KHz
Channel Separation: > 96dB (1KHz)
Line Output Voltage: > 2V, 47 Kohms
Digital Output: 0.5Vpp, 75 ohms
Headphone Output: 35 mW, 32 ohms
Power: 110V or 220V AC 50Hz/60Hz
Power Consumption: 20 watts
Size: 17 in. wide by 12 in. deep and 3.5 in. high
Weight: 22 pounds
*Anyways, I will open this up and ensure that everything is in working order and good to go, so I guess at that point, 15 minutes later, you could technically call this 9/10. I'm told that an immediate tube replacement is suggested for the stock compliment...so buy your Ei Elite now and have some tube rolling fun.

Good money too but I have to confess I heard my first tube cdp today and I'm a little blown away. It's kind of like walking into a church with a good pipe organ playing and the organist is giving it everything it can stand. The music just surrounds you some how some way. -
doro, i`ll take the jolida,when your done with it
pm sentI thought it was fairly amusing also. The Polk Ogre doesn't always get 'it' -

Hello?????
CONRAD JOHNSON Polkies - TUBE line stage AND a TUBE PHONO stage? Why is this still here? The PV7 is a STELLAR preamp, and will not be outdone by latter models. This was the centerpeice at Carolina Polkfest 2005, and a pre to be dealt with. Bulletproof build. Easily serviced and modded. You'll need to spend a LOT more, for minute performance increases.
Buy it. Ronco it. Listen pantless.
Cheers,
RussCheck your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service. -
Mark, email sent regarding the CJ.
-
I'm 2nd in line for the CJ. I don't need it and was trying to keep one all solid state rig (my phono and tuner rig) for old times sake
but I'm sure it's sold so congrats and enjoy! -
DAG - Emailed you back, I'll consider it sold.
Candy - Thanks for getting on board, consider it fate CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint. -
Great, I just love CJ preamps.

I love it when everyone wins.
