For Sale (UPDATE-SOLD): A bunch of equipment, to pick up in NYC. (Adcom, VTL, Marantz, Bryston, Systemdek, IFI, Nakamichi, JBL)

Updating: Bryston and Adcom both work. Sony SACD-1 also works - tested RCA and SPDIF digital out.

Cary preamp does not work. Not sure if anyone wants it for parts/cleanup/whatever. Not totally busted, but the power supply didn't work until I reseated the connector, and the left channel is coming through at crosstalk level. The right channel interrupts when I operate the volume control. I suspect we have loose power supply wiring and a defective/corroded volume pot.

I can't test the turntable or the tuner with out a replacement phono/line level preamp, which I don't have.
 
Systemdek? If the price is low, I might be tempted...

Fix your SP-10 :p

I’m close to Cornwall if you need to store it for a bit or pony it.

That's gonna take a LOT of work. Trying to get a free weekend recently has been a challenge...

Don't know the model or the condition. Name a number and if it's cheap, I'll do the drive (and see JP while I'm at it).

Late Sept or Oct at this point. Spending the next two weeks from Wed at the US Open, and then I don't remember what she has planned for us.

Same keyword for my scheduling: she. With one exception- trip to Cleveland 10/1 to see Ravens/Browns.
 
Ok, only thing I haven’t tested is VTL amps

If you can access it, here’s a video of the SystemDek playing through the Adcom preamp and amp.

Signs of a misspent youth. I had fun though. The VTL is tubed and working. The bias seems a little lean on some tubes, but I’ll leave that to the buyer. Resistance on each is to specification.

Video shows VTLs operating and tubes lit up.

Just bumping this because I’ve added prices and condition notes in the OP.
 
I'd take the Cary but postage could be hundreds of $ to Australia.

edit: It's also likely fixed 120V AC.

How do I get power amps with wildly different power outputs to play nicely together in a single system?
