IsoTek EVO3 Genesis One Mains Power Conditioner/Regenerator
Check out this one-owner IsoTek EVO3 Genesis One mains power conditioner, lightly used and in perfect condition! Which one owner you may ask..? Me! I bought it new around 5 years ago and have used it since, with zero issues and some nice sonic improvements for connected gear.
A customer asked me what I thought about these and why I’m selling it. Easy. It’s great, but I need the space and the funds. I’ve just bought a very expensive Accuphase power amplifier, amongst other things, and so a bunch of stuff like this IsoTek mains regenerator must be sold.
In terms of what it does for the sound, it’s a fascinating question. When I first bought this regenerator, I plugged my sources into it and immediately noticed a lower noise floor and a slightly more relaxed sonic presentation from the entire system. I thought this was an interesting and certainly valuable improvement.
If you’ve been thinking of getting one of these, I’d have no hesitation in recommending you do. Almost more importantly, it safeguards your valuable equipment from power surges and spikes too.
These highly regarded mains power regenerators are the best way to power a source or other low-power devices, far better than a ‘filter’. The Genesis One is a 100 Watt mains voltage regenerator perfect for things like CD players, DACs, preamps, tuners etc. As long as the total power consumption stays under 100 Watts, you are cooking with gas.
Quite different from the common and much cheaper passive filters that you see in all the stores, this is an active device – a power supply – a far better way to power your sources. The Genesis One delivers a rock-steady, regulated 230VAC mains supply with less than 1% distortion. This feeds your sources with the purest, lowest distortion mains supply possible, much cleaner than power straight from the wall.
Contrast this with a filter, a fancy power board with built-in chokes for example, that only reduces line noise. These filters don’t regulate line voltage, nor do they completely regenerate a completely clean and steady 230V sine wave as the Isotek Evo3 Genesis One does.
Here’s some additional info from Isotek:
The EVO3 Genesis One is a state-of-the-art single-cell sine wave generation system with extremely low THD. The system can be used to dramatically improve single front-end components. Each cell can be combined/linked together so that only one input wall socket cable is required.
- Removes both Common Mode and Differential Mode mains noise.
- Dedicated single outlet delivers clean low distortion reconstruction mains sine wave.
- Unique single-cell mains sine wave generation system exceeding 85dB of noise reduction extending to zero Hz running in class D amplification with a linear power supply.
- Internal wiring; solid core silver plated PCOCC with FEP virtually an air dielectric.
- 100W of totally clean power for all front-end components.
More information about this award-winning product can be found here.
These beautiful 10kg IsoTek EVO3 Genesis One (try saying that a few times…) mains power conditioner/regenerators are a current IsoTek product line and retail for $4,749.
Here’s a chance to own this perfect, one-owner example for just $2,250. Local customers preferred.
NOS Raytheon JAN 5703WB ‘Trivistor’ Vacuum Tubes
Many will have seen my articles and videos on the iconic Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista 21 Tube DAC. If you need a set of 5703WB vacuum tubes for yours, look no further.
I have 50+ – now approx 30 Raytheon 5703WB vacuum tubes available for sale, all from the same production batch. This is the mil-spec, 50+G-rated triode tube used in the class-A output buffer of the Tri-Vista 21, Tri-Vista SACD Player, the Tri-Vista 300 Integrated Amplifier and others.
This batch of NOS Joint Arm Navy Raytheon 5703W tubes was made in December 1979 and is a rare find. Good examples like these rarely come up for sale. Many I’ve seen are later examples, in tatty boxes, sometimes even used. Remember, with NOS tubes, the older the better, generally speaking.
Grab a pristine NOS set for your Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista 21 or other projects whilst these early-date code units are available. Keep them tucked away for when you need them – if you own equipment that uses them, you will eventually need to replace them.
All boxes are intact and present in excellent to perfect condition. All tubes are NOS, never used, and in perfect condition. Priced at just $25 AUD per tube.

Super-Cool JVC JR-S301 AM/FM Stereo Receiver
Just look at this classic vintage beauty! Only just in and needing service and a minor repair, this lovely one-owner JVC AM/FM stereo receiver has 60 Watts per channel, VU and tuning meters, four in total, a graphic equaliser and phono preamplifier built in. What more could you want in a vintage receiver?!
This receiver is just gorgeous and quite a rare offering, given that JVC had a slightly lower profile here in Australia. After giving her a deep clean and service, and making a small repair to the tuning mechanism, she works perfectly and has that rich, warm sound we expect from equipment like this.

Speakers
Ultra-Rare Pair of NOS Yamaha NS-1200 / JA3120 Woofer Re-Cone Kits!
Parts like these never come up for sale and this is likely the only pair of genuine Yamaha NS-1200 JA3120 woofer re-cone kits available anywhere in the world!
This pair of re-cone kits will repair and renew the cones, spiders, voice coils and surrounds of JA3120 woofers. If you own NS-1200s and want to re-cone your JA3120 woofers, the only way to do it is with genuine parts like these. When professionally installed, it’s like having a new woofer. Speakers cannot retain their original Theile-Small characteristics unless you use genuine parts, so the only way to effect proper repair is to use genuine parts.
These genuine Yamaha re-cone kits come in their factory original boxes and include cones, surrounds, voice coils, spiders and braids. The boxes retain their original foam support material, meaning shipping should be safe, though insurance is necessary for something like this.
This sale is for a set of two genuine NOS Yamaha re-cone kits, in pristine original condition. There will likely never be another pair of these for sale, so if you own a pair of Yamaha NS-1200s and want to repair or refresh the JA3120 woofers, this is perhaps your only chance to do it properly.
These unobtainable re-cone kits are $995 AUD for the pair. Shipping and insurance will be additional, where applicable.
NOTE: I’ve received pointless requests for dimensions, measurements, etc, that I won’t fulfil. If you own Yamaha NS-1200s and need JA3120 re-cone kits, these kits are the parts you need. Purchase them if the price works for you. Get in touch if you have any questions!
