The years have passed and I have grown old and now almost deaf. My IB subwoofer has hardly been exercised for quite some time. My 40-year-old, Linn Sondek LP12 and olive Naim audio system just gather dust. We watch Netflix and YouTube. Never try to listen to any music any more. Loads of vinyl, CDs and film DVDs may well end up in a charity shop.
It feels like the end of a very long journey. Starting in the 1950s with my father's purchase of an Armstrong, valve receiver and a 10" Whiteley, cambric driver in a reflex, speaker building kit in chipboard.
The following items are for sale here in Denmark: Vest Fyn.
Infinite baffle subwoofer drivers: I have four of the first series of Audio Elegance AEIB15 with vinyl cones and an Fs of 32Hz. These 15" driver were mounted in a wall manifold but are presently, cardboard boxed individually. These are specialist, home theater IB drivers. NOT intended for car audio.
If you live in Denmark, make me a reasonable offer for either set of
drivers. Or all of them. The manifold is doubled 18mm ply painted matt
black and very heavy! This box is free to the buyer of the drivers if
you want to save time and money making your own. Those outside Denmark
should consider the very high cost of sending such heavy and potentially fragile equipment via insured parcel. Which is why I don't use eBay[UK]. Postage could easily exceed the perceived value!
The Naim equipment has NOT been modified, "re-capped" or upgraded. The NAP180 offers 90wpc and was bought new 25 years ago from Radford Audio. The 72 pre-amp and HiCap were bought 2nd hand in England. Serial numbers are available to serious buyers. I would prefer to sell the system rather than individual units. Which would make them far more difficult to sell.
I have both NACA4 and NACA5 speaker cables and several, Naim connecting cables. Plus loads of other cables collected over the years.
My Linn Sondek LP12 is about 40 years old. It has the early, Afrormosia plinth with horizontal grooves and smoked, dark Perspex, hinged lid. Valhalla PS. Black Ittok LVIII arm with a Denon DL304 MC cartridge fitted.
Note: The Linn's outer platter is dull from old age and repeated cleaning. The arm, cartridge, main bearing and sub-chassis were upgraded and the Valhalla power supply fitted by Radford Hifi, in England about 25 years ago.
I have a pair of Linn Kan compact speakers which are about 40 years old. These were frequently matched with Linn/Naim systems of the time. I made a matched pair of passive, stereo subwoofers for them using SEAS 10" drivers. These extended the response down to 20Hz. The subs are still sitting in the shed somewhere. You can have them if you buy the Kans.
A pair of Mission 753F 'Freedom" floor standing loudspeakers. Bought years ago from Expert here in Denmark. In black wood grain with bi-amp terminals. Cast iron bases with spiked feet for greater stability. The Freedom speakers had better drivers and silk, dome tweeters.
Everything worked normally the last time I used it. Images of my system appear throughout my blog. More specific images easily sent by email: Offers to: christryke at gmail.com
NO home demonstrations.[Covid] Sold as is. WYSIWYG. With natural wear and tear commensurate with age. NO refunds. Nor time wasters please. I am not greedy. Nor deluded as to the value of this older, well used equipment. Olive fascia, Naim equipment is still in demand for those who like the simplicity. How many Danes have heard of them and visit this blog is likely to be a vanishingly small number.
