Gathering things for January when I go back on eBay

Gentle reader,

It's been a while since I posted. I've been finding bargains and gathering them for eBay.
As you can see, it's quite a bit of stuff! Some you've seen in previous posts. Speakers on top are the Canadian-made Paradigms that I replaced the tweeters in.

Below them are the UK-made Spendor version of the BBC's LS3/5A speakers. While they sound phenomenal, when I saw what they are fetching on eBay, $ signs came to my eyes.

To the left of the Spendors is what was called a "Midi" stereo. A set of Mistubishi components: Tuner: DA-F41P, integrated amp: DA-U41P, and cassette deck: DT-41P. Not listed in my Orion guide. But mid-'80's. Quality stuff.

Below them is the JVC cassette deck I bought to use after sending my Denon 3-head off to a new home.

I found a TEAC V-95RX at The Village thrift store for $15. Made in 1981-82 and sold new for $625! Yikes! Very advanced for it's day. Soft-touch solenoid controls. Walnut case. Pretty cool.

I will feature the TEAC and the Sony SACD (DVP-S9000ES) player I found for $14.99 (plus a Panasonic Blu-Ray player for $19.99) at Salvation Army in a future post. BTW, that price for the Sony is 1000th of the original price!

The Panasonic replaces the Sony DVD-SACD (DVP-NS775V) player in the living room, and an OPPO DVD player was added to the living room TV set-up as well.

The Sony DVP-S9000ES retailed for $1,500 when it came out ten years ago. It was the latest Audiophile SACD player from Sony, their first model sold for $5,000, the next for $,3,500 to this one, they added DVD playback and a lower price.

Below that is the DENON DVD-2910 that the Sony DVP-S9000ES replaces. The DENON has served me well, but the Sony just outshines it.

Below the JVC is another Pioneer SX-750 receiver. Great shape and works fine. Second one I've found at thrift stores.

At the bottom of the stack on the left is that great Sansui AU-717 integrated amp.

Next on the right, top of the stack, and I may not sell it, is the Insignia HD-Radio tuner. It really requires the roof antenna to pull in the stations and frank-quitely,
I can listen to any station right here on the computer.

Below that is the damaged-in-transit Sansui Tuner and integrated amp.
I will try and fix the latter if I can.

At the bottom on the right is a neat Yamaha R-700 receiver from the early 1980's. Great shape and puts out 50 watts-per-channel. Sounds great.
Above, you can see the new KLH-24 speakers sitting atop the Electro-Voice models. They are also not listed in Orion. Nor were the model 20's I bought a while back. Similar to the larger and very popular model 17s. These have a cone tweeter and 8" woofer. "Acoustic-suspension" speakers as most KLH models were then. Fantastic sound!
Real walnut veneer as most speakers were back in the day. No cheap foam surrounds for the woofers either. They were made to last and based on the condition, well cared for. They and the Pioneer were a set at Salvation Army for $34.99 less the 25% Wednesday discount.

I look forward to the post-Christmas donations rolling in!

Thanks for looking!

Scott
