Hello.
Longtime diyaudio member / enthusiast has fallen ill.
I'm assisting in clearing some needed room. Space is still enjoying the music, but the tinkering will have to come to an end. This is well over 20 years of collecting and tinkering. This is everything left from his immaculately organized home "workshop."
I've done my absolute best to accurately display and detail what's included. Everything has already been boxed. All prices are post paid in the United States when paid with PayPal friends and family. I have a lot of experience packing delicate items so don't worry on that front. No international shipping. If you are absolutely dead set on something, and live internationally please contact me.
Also, I cannot answer specific questions regarding "can you check that this specific item is in the lot?" and so on. Everything is already boxed and ready to go.
Nothing is sold with any indication it works perfectly or works- Some of these items are "almost fully assembled" or "have a minor problem" which is why they are going to be sold here and my hope is priced accordingly. However, if I say "I believe it works" or "briefly tested" or something like that, it means it turns on and makes sound. These were all in space's "screwing around with" pile, and thus, I cannot know for sure.
Once I sell around 50 % we'll do a little something for the diyaudio community, since space was such an active member for many years and looks upon it fondly. The Free Stuff (you pay shipping) section will open up to requests only after 50% is sold so please no inquiries before I indicate.
The TMOQ 834p boards and power supplies went to user tronan for distribution free of charge (he paid shipping). Inquire with him if you have interest.
Please be understanding of the sensitive circumstances surrounding this sale... no low balling, etc.
** New Items 5/12 ***
Prices are all POST PAID IN THE USA. No International Shipping. If you must have something and are international, have it shipped to a US address and then to you.
Scroll through Photos as some are mixed.
Phono Preamp - End of Life Trademark of Quality 834P - This is one of two I completed for myself. I'll keep the other. I consider this, as did Romy the cat and many others an "end of life" phono preamp- no more searching required. This version is made with boards I had especially made, uses a 12AT7 in the cathode follower. Has all tubes (NOS RCA, Westinghouse, and Phillips 12at7 ), fully wired up - I don't have time to test this. Assume is fine, may need a cold solder joint attended to. Everything is ultra-premium.$950 Price Cut: $700 Photos

Cartridge - ATLH15-OCC + Empire SE/X 1000 MM Cart - Broken Stylus - Replacement Here - imho the best moving magnet cartridge ever made, eclipses the Shure V15 series. Will include an errant Sony headshell and Pickering V15 in unknown condition -$200 Price Cut: $100 Photos
Carver M500t Magnetic Field Amplifier with hard to find Rack Handles - Recently Tested, working. Refitted with banana plugs. For Sale in the wild $500 Photos
Copland CSA-14 Receiver / Amplifier - This was working beautifully, and then there was a minor problem (leaky cap, I believe?). No serious damage, comes with manual. Seen sold for $1500 and thereabouts. Tube driver stage, solid state output. Really love this thing, surprised it hasn't been snatched up yet. Build quality on Copland is exceptional. $550 Photo Photo

******** SOLD ITEMS *******
Huge Component Lot - Note: There's been no cherry picking here and this was his personal stash and it's the best of everything. Dale RN series resistors, non-inductive wire wound resistors, Kiwame, etc. Resistors range from 1/4 - 5W, most being somewhere between 1/4 - 1W. Tons of large quantities of RN60 resistors. Film caps are Oil caps, teflon caps, polystyrene, mil spec, etc. as well as your usual wima and so on. Electrolytics are mostly of the top-notch series, Panasonic FM, etc. and Ceramic mostly COG/NP0. Mica also the quality Cornell Dublier etc. Like I said it's the cream of the crop, and it's all meticulously organized and labeled. Truly an amazing opportunity for basically a readymade DIY audio workstation. I've attempted to box this accurately, to maintain the organization- multiple boxes with dividers nested into a larger box. Again, this is 20 years of cream of the crop audio-specific parts collecting. —— SOLD ——— Photos Here
Component Grab Bag - This is all assorted stuff that I missed on the first pass or was in some other nook or cranny - tons of oil and polystyrene caps, all kinds of stuff. Who knows?! Find out. A completely packed USPS Large Flat Rate Box. $SOLD Photo

Probably 50 boards total or thereabouts - after I sell 50% of what's here, these will go for free (you pay shipping) to a trusted DiyAudio member to distribute amongst the community or sell for proceeds to diyAudio or whatever you so choose.

Sorry, back now.
Hospital visits. Yes, everything still available. I will go through emails one by one and whomever PMed me first will get priority. A friend was kind enough to box and organize the stuff- I need to use my audio room for medical equipment.
Apologies. Will be home for next week at very least and will be shipping everything out. Plan is to be at home from here on out.
Sorry, usually more prompt. You can count on me shipping promptly with absolute certainty.
Can only reply to 5 private messages per hour, unfortunate.
Aterplasma - huge lot still available. I dont think any two people have inquired about the same thing, so everyone should have their stuff. Hold for PayPal information.
