B&K Ref 50S2, Theta DAC, Classe 70 amp, Music Hall MMF-5.1

[AndyGwis]

Can't edit my last FS thread so I'm just creating another.

Will provide pics via email if anyone needs them.

1. B&K Reference 50 S2 Pre/Pro, Virtually Mint condition, original box, manual, remote, $850 + shipping and/or $900 shipped via paypal.
Comes with MX-700 (B&K SR10.1) remote. Awesome processor, awesome remote, awesome price.


2. B&K Reference 51 S2, 9/10, original box, remote, manual, $800+ shipping or $850 shipped via paypal

Ref 50 S1 with $800 factory upgraded video card, processor, etc to bring it up to same specs as the Ref 50 S2. Just a different faceplate, I guess.

Also comes with programmable Universal remotes MX-700. Pretty much like new condition. Have paperwork for the upgrade somewhere which contains a 100% clean bill of health from B&K factory.


3. Theta Pro Progeny DAC, 8.5/10 condition, manual, no box, $300 + shipping and/or $340 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. $400+ shipping and/or $440 shipped via paypal.

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


5. Music Hall MMF-5 Turntable, 9/10 condition, original box and manual, no cart/stylus! $350+ shipping

Great table, especially if you already have a favorite cartridge.

6. Music Hall MMF-5.1 Turntable, 9/10 condition, original box and manual, no cart/stylus, $500+ shipping

Basically, I like both tables and will keep whichever doesn't sell first. Can take pics upon request.


Thanks for looking! I might also put another ad to clean out some excess cables (cardas 300MB, Signal Cable IIs) and possibly some URC MX Remotes (happy to program for you, MX 700 / 800 with RF base stations).

Some pics. I can take and email more if you have interest in a specific piece.

Bump. Free shipping on whichever turntable sells first.

So $350 shipped for minty MMF-5 and $500 shipped for minty MMF-5.1. Neither comes with cart, however.

Just FYI, the difference between the two seems to be platter (the 5 has glass, the 5.1 has a black metal "balanced" platter). Both platters look sharp and work great. Both come with Project arms, but the 5.1 arm is quite a bit thicker and more impressive. The plinth of the 5.1 seems a bit shinier and has MMF 5.1 on it but otherwise looks about the same. Both are double plinth style. The MMF 5.1 has a better looking outputs with detachable, quality connectors. I believe the MMF-5 has hardwired output ICs.

Both great tables, and if you have a favorite cart already, great deals.

Music Hall MMF-5.1 has been spoken for by a polk member through PM. That means I'll be keeping the MMF-5 so no more TTs for sale at this time.

The other items are for sale and I'd be more than happy to take and email more pics to whomever has interest.

[AndyGwis]

Andy, you always have THE coolest stuff...

[AndyGwis]

Well, it's actually just the same cool stuff I've always had. I just keep bumping and lowering the price to match the economy.

Thought today might be a good time for a quick bump. Maybe someone cashed out on some stocks with the market up 500 points today and is looking for some gear :)

Thanks for the compliment / bump, Stevie!

[starkiller]

hmm, have any idea if the theta would add to the sound quality of my rega planet??

[AndyGwis]

Can't say I've tried that combo, but I have used the Theta with all of the following and felt it positively added some depth, clarity, and/or weight to each:

Sony SCD-222ES (DAC was big improvement)
Lexicon RT-10 (very good on its own, better with Theta)
Cal CL-15 (very, very good on its own, slightly better with Theta)
Marantz SA-8260 (clearly better through DAC)
Marantz SA-8001 (a little better through DAC)
