After Mantis' glowing review of the Pioneer Elite SC receivers I've decided to give it a try. But that won't happen until I move some extra gear. So please help a fellow Polkie get his next fix by finding a new home for these wonderful toys :D

All of them have been cared for in a pet-free, non-smoking home with no kids. They are in excellent condition. The following prices include shipping and paypal fees, except for the XPA-5:

First off is Ben's legendary silver ICs. The length is 4' each. I used them on my all-LSi HT rig along with his silver speaker cables that I'm also selling, and the XPA-5. This is truly a remarkable synergy. Nicely detailed, smooth, and tonally correct sound without any hint of etching at high volumes. A set of 5 yours for $125.

I also have 3 of Ben’s silver speaker cables with spades on both ends for your front soundstage. LSi owners take note: incredible synergy with Ben’s silver ICs. These are truly audiophile quality cables at real-world price.
A single 5’ cable for $50 and a pair of 8’ for $125.

PS Audio Quintet with 10 receptacles for your power conditioning needs. Includes the original packaging, instructional manual, and the 10 gauge garden hose power cord. $325

Emotiva XPA-5 powerhouse amp. 6 months old, 4.5 years of transferable warranty left. Original double box packaging, power cord, and instructional manual included. $675 for local pick up in the Los Angeles area. I can also ship at buyer’s expense

Aural Thrills Silver Big One power cord. 10 gauge, 6’ long with cryogenically treated Wattgate connectors. More info at http://www.auralthrillsaudio.com/SBO.htm
Very nice sounding cord. I used it on the LMC-1 pre/pro and XPA-5 amp, both with excellent results. $160

Signal Silver Resolution digital coaxial 2’ $50

    Great deals on some great cables. That set of Ben's IC's would work magically for a five channel SACD player (like the one MKZ has for sale). Should have no problem moving this stuff.

    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    bump for Ben's silver speaker cables. If you're looking to get a taste of silver without breaking the bank, this is your ticket. I heard silver cables that sound spitty and harsh at the top, but Ben's stuff never do that.

    If you've heard what his ICs can do, that should give you a good idea what to expect from these cables. Open, spacious, and detailed without the edginess that's commonly associated with lesser designs.

    Plays very nice with warm, laid back speakers (i.e. LSi)
