I have a couple items left over from previous sales, and a couple new that I'm adding. Please post here first if interested.

Polk CSi40 center speaker - $old. I bought this a couple years ago (from spasticpitbull I believe), and it's in the same condition that I received it in. It's in good shape cosmetically, the only thing being that it has two velcro pieces on the bottom (I assume to mount it to a TV).

Entech Numbercruncher 203.2 DAC - $old. I paid $115 shipped for it maybe a year ago, still have the original box that it will ship in. Picture (http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z302/polkmaniac/Picture030.jpg)

TEAC A-L700P Amplifier - $old. This is the 30WPC 'chip' amplifier, discussed in THIS (http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32932) thread, still in perfect condition. I have two of these, ordered the second one thinking I'd mod each into a mono amp, but it never happened, so I'm selling off one of the two I own (the other is still in use). Picture (http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z302/polkmaniac/Picture024.jpg)

Sony SCD-CE595 CD/SACD player - $100 shipped to the lower 48. This is an auddio only player, no DVD or video circuits. That's the main reason I bought it, thinking that not having to include all the video outputs and decoding chips would allow Sony to make fewer audio comprimises that you'd expect to find in a universal player around this price range. I was right. This is an awesome player, but I'm moving on to bigger and better (and more expensive). Picture (http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z302/polkmaniac/Picture032.jpg)

EZ as Pie speakers - $180 Local pickup only. I have them listed in THIS (http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53063) thread, just listing them here to get everything in one thread. I really don't have the room for them in storage that I thought I had, so I actually do need to sell these.

Thanks for looking.

[JimBRICK]

as I said before you decide to sell the pie's with shipping I have dibs :)

[AsSiMiLaTeD]

Jim, I'm working on a quote for the shipping now, but UPS is quoting me like $300 online...

[JimBRICK]

[RuSsMaN]

Those are 3/4 MDF all around. To Canada? Man o man.

[JimBRICK]

[a_mattison]

Have you done any comparisons/reviews on your DAC that I could read? What is your impression of it overall?

You provide the hunting area and I will hop in the car come hunting season and bring the speakers with me... :D

9mpg to Michigan? Wouldn't you rather fly on a private jet with a half dozen hired hookers?

This has gotten a pretty good buzz. Might be a good inexpensive place for you to start Aaron. I'm thinking about this as well, I don't need it but I'd like to put it up against the AMC DAC 8 in the office rig and see how it stacks up.

Owners discussing the virtues.

[AsSiMiLaTeD]

I'm looking back, and I don't find any review I've done on the DAC, which is strange because I typically share my thoughts when I get any new piece of gear, but IIRC I wasn't posting alot around the time I got this.

Anyway, it's a very good sounding DAC, I'm replacing it with the much more expensive Benchmark DAC that some around here have. $75 shipped for this is a no brainer if you have the cash.

[AsSiMiLaTeD]

Ygpmback at ya...

[AsSiMiLaTeD]

I forgot to mention...

I'm building a headphone rig, so I'd consider any partial or full trades for something along those lines, especially if you've got something unique. I have zilch right now, so any components are interesting at this point.

[a_mattison]

I'll take the DAC if it's still available... PM being sent. If I don't like it, I'll just trade H9 straight up for his Lsi9's that he doesn't want anymore.

..And of course, you're welcome to check it out compared to your AMC DAC after I get it from Polkmaniac....

[heiney9]

Hopefully it's not already spoken for. Just so you know this is made by Monster :D , but I won't tell anyone :eek: .

I'll be anxious to hear your impressions because as John K would say "bits is bits is bits"

[engtaz]

And what does F1 think of John K LOL

[AsSiMiLaTeD]

DAC is Sold. Everything else is still up for grabs, reduced the price on the CDP to $100 shipped.

Seriously...no one is interested in the TEAC amp?? It's one hell of an amp for $100, I figued it would be the first thing to go...

[dudeinaroom]

you've got an unread pm from 01-15-2007

[AsSiMiLaTeD]

I've received several PMs about some items over the weekend, I'll sort through those this morning. Sorry for the delay, internet has been down all weekend (at work now) and life has been chaos the last few days:

[a_mattison]

DAC arrived today. ....In pristene condition. In original box with all packaging. It looks like you went to the DAC store and picked up a new one. Thanks!!! (Review being posted separately)

Big ol' +1 to Shack

[AsSiMiLaTeD]

Glad to see the DAC arrived OK.

Guys, rest of the stuff is still up for sale...

[AsSiMiLaTeD]

Bump, everything except the DAC is still up for grabs, I've reduced some prices.

[JimBRICK]

now I just have to find a polkie from the dallas area that travels to michigan :)

[AsSiMiLaTeD]

Bump, price reductions.

[BlueMDPicker]

I'll take the TEAC A-L700P. Please PM me with payment and address details.

[AsSiMiLaTeD]

The TEAC is sold.

Still for sale:

CSi40
Sony SACD/CD
Ez as Pie speakers

[dudeinaroom]

IF that Sony doesn't sell by Jan, I'll take it.

[jmwest1970]

PM sent on the CSi40.

[AsSiMiLaTeD]

CSi40 is sold.

That leaves the Sony and speakers.

[JimBRICK]

damn shipping costs. those speaks would have been in my house by now


thats a bump bTW

[AsSiMiLaTeD]

Received a couple of PMs regarding the Sony, and I've directed all interested parties over to SonyDirect to pick up the player, you can grab it for $70 shipped with a 3 year warranty over there, so that's the better deal for sure. It's a refurb, but that's still a great deal...

I paid full retail of $150 for mine, and I'm not inclined to let it go for less than $100, and I don't really NEED the money, so I'll just hang on to it.

The speakers are still up for sale. They have been relegated to my climate controlled storage unit, which sucks because they're such fantastic speakers. But I don't have any room for them in the new place and that's still better than selling them to some moron on eBay or Craigslist...

[JimBRICK]

this is killing me :)

[RuSsMaN]

What's SonyDirect?

[JimBRICK]

You provide the hunting area and I will hop in the car come hunting season and bring the speakers with me... :D


I have 400 square kms of hunting and fishing available
