Having very recently sold a Schiit Freya preamp and moved to a single-ended preamp I no longer have any need for a number of balanced interconnects which need to find new homes.
Townshend Isolda DCT 300 XLR to XLR - 1M
Having tried numerous balanced interconnects between various pre and power amps I've owned these were easily the best with exceptional clarity, detail and extended bass. These have been so impressive in my system that I have bitten the bullet and purchased a set of the latest Fractal interconnects with RCA connectors to replace them.
The cables are in very good cosmetic and functional condition
I do not have the original box for these cables but they will be carefully packaged for posting.
Current RRP for a 1M balanced pair is £606.
Asking £275 inc UK delivery.

Wychwood Audionics Custom RCA to XLR
This is a custom built RCA to XLR cable of around 0.8M in length built using Van Damme Quad-Core Tour Grade Ultra OFC and equipped with Neutrik RCA and XLR connectors.
This cable was purchased around 12 months ago with the purpose of trying a single ended preamp into my balanced power amp. The cable has seen little use and is in very good cosmetic and operational condition. No original box but the cable will be carefully packed for posting.
Asking £45 inc UK delivery.

This cable is around 0.6M in length and has been used to connect a DAC to the Freya. It is in very good cosmetic and operational condition. No original box but the cable will be carefully packed for posting.
Asking £25 inc UK delivery.

Russian 6H8C Valves
These military spec Russian valves are advertised in a separate listing where they are the last remaining valves. They were a real surprise for me and sounded excellent when used in the Freya either as a quad or as a pair alongside the psvanes. According to research I conducted they are from the Novosibirsk city, were produced in 1978 and the OTK code indicates factory QC approved and the diamond pill marking indicates military approved.
Please note that when testing them in the Freya just recently prior to the Freya and other 6SN7 valves being advertised for sale I noticed that two of the glass envelopes were a slightly loose fit in the black ceramic bases, however, they functioned perfectly and sounded remarkably good in my system. It has been pointed out that a small drop of superglue in the joint between the glass and the base will normally resolve this issue.
The valves will be posted in the box they came in. See below.
Asking £45 inc UK delivery.
