The Naim amps and Linn Kans have gone. The LP12 is pending collection. I had the Kans on top of the 753sFs as stands. We needed something more "forwards." To overcome our mutual deafness when watching Netflix in our old age. We can never hear the dialogue.
Somebody made a very low bid for the Mission 753Freedom Center speaker. Which I refused. I may have to bring the price of the Mission 753Freedom floor-standers down to excite some interest. They were great in their day but this is long forgotten.
I'd had the Kans for probably 40 years. The Linn Sondek about the same. Though it was upgraded 25 years ago. With Ittok VIII and a DL304MC cartridge. Plus a Valhalla PS, new sub-chassis, bearing and springs. The Naim amps were at least 26 years old. I am hopeless at remembering dates and calculating age.
I bought the Naim amps from the same dealer who rebuilt the Linn. With the proceeds from selling the rural cottage. Which we had rebuilt ourselves. From a pile of stones in a corner of a field about 35 years ago. Complete with sheep on the token roof during the "viewing". It was ten more years before moving over to Denmark. Then starting all over again with another, detached, rural hovel.
March 9th. The Linn Sondek LP12 has now been collected. On the same day that a latecomer offered a higher price ha I was asking! A very pleasant chap from Copenhagen was upgrading his own Linn. At least it is going to a good home. The Linn Kan speakers have gone.
Now I have somebody coming to look at the Mission 753 Freedom speakers. There won't be much left soon. I had better start thinking about what to do with all my hundreds of LPs, CDs and DVDs!
March 10th I dismantled the 4x15" IB drivers from the manifold/box. Then removed the near empty, multi-shelf, equipment rack and the IB box outside. The manifold can be dumped at the recycling yard as scrap wood.
Another large box of cables has been filled. The EP2500 power amp will be stored unless it sells. I may start with a new advert for the IB components. They were rather lost in the long list of equipment I was selling all in one go. I'm not sure anyone understood what the IB drivers were.
UPDATE: I have posted on the Cult of The Infinitely Baffled to try and move the IB drivers and [quiet] EP2500 amp.
Anybody within easy reach can have the drivers and amp for peanuts on collection. Following the death of my wife I am clearing the house of as much stuff as I can.
The AEIB15 drivers in their original boxes weigh 12kg or 25lbs each. I only have four original driver boxes. So would obviously prefer collection if at all possible. Postage would be entirely at your own expense. Assume 20kg per box for calculating postage.
NOTE: These drivers are in Denmark, SW Fyn! International postage would be very expensive. With taxes to be paid outside the EU.
I speak English and Danish.
