I have a couple things that I don’t need, ever.

I have Pink Floyd WYWH SACD Hybrid thats an original remaster in a paper hardcover case w pics. Interested? Unsure on price for now. Searching. Opened but I’ve never used it as I usually always by 2, this is 1.

Also a very early DarqueKnight modified SDA A1 Pin/Blade interconnect using much better cable runs and simple terminations. As in not gold etc but way better than OEM from all get out.

Also some other trinkets if always used over the years but I gotta research them a bit.

Buy some tube dampers! Reduces harmonics in shady test tubes.

    DaBoyz let me think about it. The master is fairly common but the interconnect, not. And was custom built for myself and a few others by Raife/ DarqueKnight.

    Let me sleep on it but I’m going to make it a combination deal. Both for....I’m not delaying it but I’m thinking $150 shipped for both.

    Thoughts?

    I'm thinking you should know how this works... You start by posting a price, not negotiating it in the thread.... ;)

    I was just meandering the idea mdaudioguy. I know quite well how the Flea Market works since there was a few who created rules, guidelines and suggestions way before you showed up.

    I appreciate your vigilance of something not hugely ground breaking. When’s the last FREE thing you shipped? I’ve done dozens and dozens.

    Far be it from me to touch base and ask questions since it’s been some time for me in this forum.

    No worries. You’re right and you win. I wish you the very best.

    I appreciate the sideline emails and help in regards to pricing from other members. Mdaudioguy’s comments were relevant and valid. I should have researched and posted as such.

    The whole idea is now closed and good luck Polkies.

    You missed the winky face? Just ribbing you a little. Not trying to "win" anything. Yeah, I know how long you've been around... You should sell the stuff to daboyz if he's interested.

    MD yeah probably did miss it and it’s all good. I’m just old and sometimes don’t pick up on things. It was a good comment but it really me asking the market for an idea. I’d obviously go with systematic value. It was just a question in the end.

    Shut up Tom, I know where you live. I’ve been in your neighbors lawn on multiple occasions dressed as a large rabbit and you still ignore me like a rabid fox. You cut me to the quick.

    I’m still in the bushes but usually unaware I’m in YOUR bushes. It’ll work itself out. XoXo.

    Thanks. Mark. No need for the cable. If as a set then someone else should take advantage of this.

    Better than stock P/b. Improvement well that only you can decide BUT you're no longer dedicated to common ground only architecture.
    So there's that and pretty rare but this one has improved wiring that Raife built so probably less the 5 in the world.

    On my 2.3tl the stock AI-1 was better than stock P/b cable on common ground amp.

    Ivan? Pitdogg2 thanks man. That’s a very well rounded comment and you’ve been here long enough to know small to large benefits in a lot of stuff.

    Verb, it’s my opinion that it’s a worthwhile upgrade, custom made and your out, <100 for peace of mind. Sonically that’s on your end and it doesn’t have to change the world to be better. Simple.

    I've got a A1 on my CRS+s with the baked potato mod sounds a lot better than the stock pin blade. Verb you might as well buy it $85 is a steal for this one. It's just drop in the hat with your deep pockets. :D
