Legendary Perreaux PMF-5150B power amplifier!
Finally, I’m listing it, one of my previous reference power amplifiers, the legendary and sublime Perreaux PMF-5150B power amplifier!
This amplifier took over from my Krell KSA-150, and was succeeded by my Accuphase P-360, and now my Accuphase A-75. As you can imagine, I can’t justify keeping pieces like this given the value tied up in them, so they have to go, and sadly, so it is with the PMF-5150B.
Specifications
Courtesy HiFi Engine
Power output: 500 Watts per channel into 8Ω (stereo), about 30 Watts class A
Frequency response: 20Hz to 20kHz
Total harmonic distortion: 0.03%
Damping factor: 200 (impressive for an older design)
Input sensitivity: 1.5V
Signal-to-noise ratio: 100dB
Dimensions: 480 x 262 x 525mm
Weight: Approx 50kg
Year: 1983
Not much needs to be said about this beast that hasn’t already been said. Five hundred Watts per channel into 8 Ohms, legendary Hitachi MOSFET output devices that allow for an incredibly simple yet robust circuit design, and huge dual diode bridges. I’ve owned and loved this monster for 7 or 8 years.
I have, of course, overhauled and serviced this old girl, fitting new high-spec small electrolytic capacitors and an uprated WIMA input coupling capacitor.
Like so many of these old amplifiers, the power switch failed many years before I bought her, and they are no longer available. For this reason, she is hardwired on, you simply turn her on and off at the wall.
In terms of sonics, I can only say that looks belie how she sounds. The PMF-5150B sounds lush, warm, airy and with almost unlimited bass and punch that you might expect from 500 W. What you may not know, however, is that these are biased in such a way that they produce about 30 Watts per channel in class A. MOSFETs and class A account for the velvety sound these produce.
I’ve worked on and repaired many of these and their smaller relatives over the years, and thoroughly enjoy working on them. They are built like nothing else from this time, a true thing of joy!
This lovely, overhauled and serviced Perreaux PMF-5150B can be yours for $3500. Local shoppers preferred as shipping this anywhere in Australia will cost $500 for sure.

IsoTek EVO3 Genesis One Mains Power Conditioner/Regenerator
Check out this one-owner IsoTek EVO3 Genesis One mains power conditioner, in perfect condition! Which one owner you may ask? Me! I bought it new around 5 years ago and have had zero issues and some nice sonic improvements with connected gear.
A customer asked me what I thought about these and why I’m selling mine. Easy: It’s a great unit, but I need the space and the funds. I’ve recently bought a bunch of expensive Accuphase equipment and various 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. 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 conditioners/regenerators are a current IsoTek product and retail for $4,749. You can purchase this perfect, one-owner example for just $2250.
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 5703WB 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 $30 AUD per tube.

Beautiful JVC JR-S301 AM/FM Stereo Receiver
This gorgeous JVC JR-S301 receiver is ready for a new home and sounds better than ever after a repair involving the replacement of two no-longer-available op-amps. Only one was a problem, but I replaced both with modern high-performance parts and a couple of capacitors, because that’s how I like to do things.
There is an unfortunate backstory to this, but it’s nothing about the equipment itself or the result, both of which are outstanding. I’ll spare readers, but suffice it to say that my pain will be someone else’s gain. I’ve gone beyond the modest pricing of this unit and any margin I had in it, 1) to save it; 2) as an exercise to show how and why we save equipment like this, and 3) to demonstrate why having access to specialists like Liquid Audio is so important.
This lovely JR-S301 is now one of the nicest-sounding mid-range vintage receivers I’ve heard, significantly better after the work I’ve just completed (August 2025). She is ready to give her next owner many more years of reliable service, hopefully someone who appreciates the equipment and the effort that saved her 🙂
This lovely JVC AM/FM stereo receiver outputs 60 Watts per channel, has lovely VU and tuning meters, four in total, a graphic equaliser, a phono preamplifier, a robust, discrete output stage, JFET input and features a solid build and beautiful appearance. What more could you want in a vintage receiver?!
This receiver is just gorgeous and part of a desirable series of equipment, and quite a rare offering. After a deep clean, service, and repair to the tuning mechanism and tone/buffer amplifier, she works perfectly and has that rich, warm sound people love from equipment like this.

Stunning and Completely Original Sansui 661 AM/FM Stereo Receiver
Check out this stunning and completely original Sansui 661 AM/FM stereo receiver that has just become available (15 May 2025).
This is perfectly partnered with the Sansui SR-212, also available in the turntables section. These two have been together since new, I believe, and for someone wanting to keep them together, I’ll offer a discount on the pair, $995.
The Sansui 661 is a very nice receiver from the early 1970s, beautifully made as equipment was back then. She boasts a modest 20 Watts/channel, so this unit will suit smaller and more sensitive speakers, smaller rooms, or fairly relaxed listening requirements. Used as such, she sounds rich, warm and punchy.

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 new condition. 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 two genuine Yamaha cone kits are $995 AUD for the pair.
NOTE: I’ve received various requests for dimensions, measurements, etc. If you own Yamaha NS-1200s and need JA3120 re-cone kits, these are the parts you need. Purchase them if the price works for you.
