kit build so no orginal box but this is now well packed in an old printer box
£375 plus £25 insured shipping by UPS


Klark Teknik DN360 Graphic Equaliser[B]
Graphic equalisers used to get bad press, probably because most were XXXX but in the pro audio world they were common place. Klark Teknik being up with if not the very best. Stereo EQ with 30 bands of gain or cut. Transparent and totally brilliant. Use it with REW and be amazed how much you can improve your room.
This unit has transformer balanced outputs too.
Unit is a bit tatty - see pictures - fully working and sounding like nothing
Boxed for shipping no orginal packaging
£190 plus £15 insured shipping via UPS


[B]Aphex 10/4 124A single ended to balanced or line extender SOLD
Brilliant little box that converts single ended to balanced or balanced to single ended or both at the same time.
Adjusts gain too
as with the equaliser this is a top end pro audio unit and virtually transparent
£60 plus £11 RMSD - SOLD


Tandy/Radioshack/Realistic Super Tweeters
these have a single cap crossover - which has been replaced to increase the crossover from about 5K as standard to closer to 15K - I can measure the change but no longer hear any difference. I am 60 and my hearing is shot.
No orginal packaging
Double boxed for shipping
£70 plus £11RMSD



IFI Itube Buffer SOLD
This sold ultra quickly last time it appeared on AOS
This can be configured as tube buffer or tube pre amp via switches on the base
Some of the toggles are broken and your need to move the switches with a screw driver
The power lead has a tear in the cover and has shrunk wrap over it now
The unit is set to buffer mode and I found it totally transparent.
No orginal packaging
Boxed for shipping
£65 + £10 RMSD SOLD stp


NOS Sovtek KT88 quad
I bought 8 valves back in 2013 from Langrex for my John Wood Monoblocks.
The valves lasted far far longer than i thought so these were never used
They were bought as 2 matched quads BUT when John swapped in the first quad, not that it really needed doing, he didnt think they were matched
So sold as not matched

One of the amps had a dry joint which caused faster wear so I also have 2 of the orginal Sovteks that came with the amps and a pair from the later replacements - so 4 in total with good life still in them. useful for testing or emergency use at least.

So to keep it simple
4 NOS Sovtek KT88
4 used Sovtek KT88

£120 + £12 RMSD

No idea what the problem is, not something I had noticed but no reason to doubt Loz's findings, full refund including RMSD return costs now issued. I will get it checked out and sorted after Christmas

[Lawrence001]

I'd have a look at those little switches when you get it back, one might need a little fiddle.

[loz_the_guru]

I did have a look at those but the settings all seemed fine to me.

Young Dac reduced to £350 plus £25 shipping (upgraded to RMSD)
Super Tweeters removed from sale pending ebay offers, based on USA prices I might have prcied these way too low, time will tell.

[Lawrence001]

I'm not sure those Realistic ones go for a great deal more than you're asking.

[Mr.Ian]

I thought I had priced them about right but ebay's a funny place, a pair sold recently for over £170

I thought I had priced them about right but ebay's a funny place, a pair sold recently for over £170If you can get that you'll have done well! I think you could stick a couple of plastic tweeters off a pair of JPW sonatas in a box with a cap and get £150 for them these days if you call them supertweeters [emoji23]

Supertweeters back on sale at orginal asking price to aos members,.

KT88 tested

Took the KT88's over to Firebottle's place this morning and he tested the valves. I am sure Alan will agree that his home built valve tester is fairly basic but all 4 of the NOS Sovteks measured as expected and were reasonably well matched. Not identical but in his opinion close enough to be sold as a matched quad.

The other 4 KT88 - ie used valves

one pair were reasoanbly well matched and measured strong.

The other pair reasonable closely matched to each other and useably but not ideal for long term replacement more a get you out of trouble emergency or test pair.
