Moving! High quality , collectable audio gear to go.

I'm moving workshop , and reluctantly have to downsize my collection of audio components.
It is all high quality classic gear, I value good sounding gear that is timeless in quality and sound.
All of these components will give very enjoyable sound for years to come.
The systems below I'd prefer to sell locally, but will consider freight at buyers expense. Happy to ship individual components. If you are genuinely interested, will send photos , more details. but please no time wasters or dreamers, life's too short!!



Kanton speaker/Radford STA25 tube amp/ Dali 10" sub/ DSpeaker Anti-Mode 8033S digital bass sub-bass room correction.

Another nice system I use in a smallish room, lovely tone , relaxing musical system that is very toe tapping and another great sound-stager.
The Radford is a true classic tube amp, ample power with the lovely tone of EL34's. Excellent output transformers and very sought after. The DSpeaker digital bass "black box" gives deep , correct bass without boom. Just needs a preamp, or source with level control.
$2500






2 x Trimax EL34 tube amps. Trimax made some wonderful gear back in the golden age of tube audio.  30 watts, solid design ,great output trans, these have been re-conditioned, restored and have switching for the input trans, which have sadly been disconnected on most restored Trimaxs.
I'm going to put the actual price that I think these are worth, as I dont really want to sell them (my first tube amps were Trimax about 40 years ago!)
$3000.



NOFEN computer music server. I had this made when high resolution computers were starting to make inroads as genuine music sources. Its about 3-4 years old, but as far as I can tell it's still not far off as good as you can get with computer audio . Has a very powerful no fan motherboard, SOTM usb board, very good power supply , all the fruit.  It was built by a tech head who was told to build a no holds computer for audio.
Has Server 2012/ Audiophile Optimiser/ JRiver installed. Very fast, quick turn on/off.
Still sounds very good to my ears. Server 2012 is trial version and turns off after1 hour , needs to be paid for or Windows10 installed over it.
$750.



STAX Electrostatic Headphones . Amazing sound, if you've never heard a pair of Stax headphones you've missed out on one of audio's experiences.
Connects to amplifier output, needs a nice amp, but boy do they deliver. Starting to be a forgotten classic, which is a real shame.
$500

Nakamichi 480Z Cassete Deck.  Old school . $200.
