Hey Guys,

About to move and need to lighten my load. Have a bunch of gear, much of it seeing rare usage, that needs to go. These prices are less than what I'd list for on Audiogon. . . which is where they'll be if they don't sell here. All ratings are based on the Audiogon scale.

I accept PP and MO. Personal checks accepted from pre-approved Polkies.

I will post a second FS thread with cables and a bunch of URC MX-700/800 remotes.


1. B&K Reference 50 S1 Pre/Pro, THX Ultra 2 Certified, 8.5/10 condition, original box, manual, remote, $700 + shipping and/or $750 shipped via paypal

Comes with MX-700 (B&K SR10.1) remote which alone was $300. Awesome processor, awesome remote, awesome price.


2. B&K Reference 51 S2, 9/10, original box, remote, manual, $900 + shipping or $950 shipped via paypal

Same as the above 50S1, expect with $800 factory upgraded video card, processor, etc. Not sure if it was worth $800 extra, but for only $175 more than my listed 50S1, you get some great added features.

Also comes with programmable Universal remotes MX-700. Pretty much like new condition.


3. Theta Pro Progeny DAC, 8.5/10 condition, manual, no box, $300 + shipping and/or $350 shipped via paypal.

Great DAC from a great company. Coaxial and optical inputs. Great value DAC, retailed for over a grand back in the day. Was purchased new from Audio Concepts in Dallas. I am second owner, light usage, great sound!

Thought this one was sold already to Polkie, but then never heard back from him. Up for grabs again. Awesome DAC, will turn average CDP / DVP into a great source!


4. Classe Model 70 stereo amp, balanced/unbalanced inputs, 8/10, manual included. $500 + shipping and/or $550 shipped via paypal.

75 wpc 8 ohms, 150 wpc 4 ohms. Balanced and unbalanced inputs, solid amp. In great shape!!!


5. Marantz SA-8260 SACD player, 9.5/10 condition, box, manual, remote. $400 + shipping and/or $445 shippped via paypal.

This thing is in like new condition. Actually just got it back from Marantz factory for a little check-up. Had a hiccup on an SACD once. I'll have to compare the serial number, but it looks like they sent me a brand new unit. Great for stereo CD/SACD and multi-channel as well. Great headphone output, too.


6. Marantz ST-6000 tuner, 8.5/10 condition. $150 shipped via paypal.

Great tuner that matches the SA-8260 perfectly! No remote, but I was able to use my Universal MX-700 to control it with no problems. Retailed for $300+ and this one is almost like new.

Hey Andy,

Free bump for ya. Just curious, what you got or are getting to replace that beautiful sounding B&K ref 50?

Joe Humbert

Do either one of the B & K pre/pro's have phono inputs on them?

AndyGwis
12-10-2008, 05:43 PM
No they do not. They are more geared towards HT but do sound great with all types of music. No phono inputs, though.

Andrew - I was going to go with separates but while I was looking for a beefy B&K 5-7 channel amp to match the Ref 50, found a B&K AVR 507 S2 that was priced too good to pass up. So, just rocking that right now.

Joe Humbert

That's what I thought, but it doen't hurt to ask. Those are both nice units...maybe I should look into a nice phono preamp.
