[B]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

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
