Amplifiers & Preamplifiers
Rotel RTC-970 Tuner/Preamp
This lovely Rotel RTC-970 surround sound processor/tuner/preamplifier is perfect for building a stereo or home cinema system.
This tuner/preamplifier supports five channels, though you can use it as a stereo tuner and preamplifier in almost any system, so it is very flexible. Use it as a tuner, use it as a preamp, or both!
This almost pristine example comes with a new mains plug, original remote control and owner’s manual. Here is the owner’s manual in PDF.
You can own this lovely Rotel tuner/preamplifier for just $195.
Technics SU-Z22 Integrated Amplifier, One Owner!
This stunning little Technics SU-Z22 is also available as part of a complete hi-fi system, in the systems section, below.
This little 35 Watt per channel beauty from 1982 comes via her original owner and is a capable and complete little hi-fi stereo amplifier.
She features tone controls, cool fluorescent power meters, a phono preamplifier and a headphone amplifier for all your listening needs.
Just serviced, she comes with a warranty, manual and the knowledge that one of Australia’s most trusted specialists is selling her. A bargain at $395.
Cassette Decks
CD Players & DACs
Perpetual Technologies P-3A DAC + Monolithic Sound Outboard Power Supply
Wow, check out this recently serviced duo! This lovely DAC and power supply pair can be used together, or the DAC can be used with its own supplied power supply.
Either way, they make a compelling pair, especially given that the Perpetual Technologies DAC has received the well-regarded Modwright modifications, expensive in their own right.
The P3-A DAC was very well regarded and reviewed when it launched in 2001. You can read what Stereophile thought about it, but in a nutshell, they found it to be one of the best-measuring DACs they had ever tested.
This classic vintage DAC and power supply are a one local owner pair, in original boxes, with paperwork. Yes, rare indeed.
Sold together for just $450.
Miscellaneous
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.
All boxes are intact and in excellent to perfect condition. All tubes are NOS, never used, in perfect condition.
Priced at just $25 AUD per tube. Remember, these NOS tubes are all from the same 12/1979 production batch.
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.
Receivers
Lovely Rotel RX-202 Mk2 AM/FM Stereo Receiver
Just in and now just repaired, this lovely Rotel RX-202 Mk2 receiver is ready for a new home. This all-analog unit has the AM/FM tuner, plus a phono preamp and several line-level inputs, for your listening convenience.
Priced to sell at just $295.
Lovely Marantz SR-73 Stereo/Surround Receiver
Yes, we have another affordable and cute little receiver for sale, this one a pristine Marantz SR-73 receiver, with manual and loop antenna. This one-owner unit is perfect for a second system or someone’s first!
This little beauty is also just $295.
Speakers
Classic Jensen Model 20 Bookshelf Speakers, One Owner!
What a gorgeous pair of speakers! The woofers have just had their surrounds replaced and they are in tip-top shape, apart from some slight cabinet damage on one of the boxes. otherwise, these are just about perfect!
Grab these beauties for just $250.
JBL Basswave Subwoofer
Just in, this classic JBL Basswave subwoofer. You can stick these anywhere you want, but corners give the greatest output. This little beauty will add bottom-end oomph to any small system.
Another bargain at just $199!
Ultra-Rare Pair of Genuine, NOS Yamaha NS-1200 / JA3120 Woofer Re-Cone Kits!
Genuine parts like these never, EVER come up and this is likely the only pair of genuine Yamaha NS-1200 JA3120 woofer re-cone kits available IN THE WORLD! Given that I don’t own NS1200s, I need to move these re-cone kits on to someone who does.
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 basically like having a new driver. The woofers cannot retain their original Theile-Small characteristics unless you use genuine parts, meaning they will never sound the same unless genuine parts are used.
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 a must on something like this.
This is a set of two genuine Yamaha re-cone kits, in original factory packaging, and perfect, original condition. They have never been used, so voice coils and everything else are perfect. There will likely never be another pair of these for sale, so if you own a pair of Yamaha NS-1200s and want to refresh the woofers, or if you have JA3120 woofers that need repair, this is perhaps your last chance to do it properly.
NOTE: I’ve had requests for dimensions etc, but this is like asking someone to measure a 195/65R15 tyre or an NGK BKR6E spark plug. If you own NS-1200s and need JA3120 re-cone kits (or that tyre or spark plug), then the only thing left is to purchase them if the price is right. If you have other motivations, I cannot assist.
The price for these otherwise unobtainable re-cone kits is $1000 AUD for the pair, plus shipping and insurance where applicable. These are NOS parts, in perfect, factory original condition. Given their age, they are, of course, sold as-is and cannot be returned.
Get in touch if you have any questions about purchasing this pair of re-cone kits.
Tuners
Rotel RTC-970 Tuner/Preamp
This lovely Rotel RTC-970 surround sound processor/tuner/preamplifier is perfect for building a stereo or home cinema system.
This tuner/preamplifier supports five channels, though you can use it as a stereo tuner and preamplifier in almost any system, so it is very flexible. Use it as a tuner, use it as a preamp, or both!
This almost pristine example comes with a new mains plug, original remote control and owner’s manual. Here is the owner’s manual in PDF.
You can own this lovely Rotel tuner/preamplifier for just $195.
