    Stax SRM 270S
    I bought this used and ended up preferring a different energizer. Looks flawless to me, you can confirm that's the case once I upload pics.
    Important note: the voltage is for Japan, if you're not using this in Japan then you'll need a step-down transformer or see the replies to this post for other options.
    Price: $250 shipped to CONUS (we can work something out if you're not in the CONUS).

    Fosi ZA3 Speaker amp
    I'm the second owner, previous owner had for less than a year, me for a couple of weeks. Looks new to me. Amp and cable, no box or manual.
    $75 + shipping (I eat paypal fees)
    (pics coming ...)

    TKD 10K POT
    Purchased from Parts Conexion about a year ago and never used it so it's still new.
    Price: $45 + shipping + Paypal fees

    Free Stuff (pay for shipping)
    (more pics of free stuff coming)

    Sold/Claimed/Pending/Etc

    Sold Philips DAC 960

    I originally bought this here: https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650043713-philips-dac-960/
    I didn't use it much and most of the time it was with a friend who was going to convert it to NOS (but that never happened). This DAC is as it was when I purchased from US Audio Mart (no additional mods done).
    Price: $425 + shipping (I'll eat the Paypal fee)

    Pending Audial S5(a) (silver) (on loan and may end up purchased by the person borrowing it)
    Just purchased here: https://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/fs-audial-s5-a-dac-silver.14832/
    I tried it for a couple days and confirmed, even configured as NOS, I don't like the TDA 1541a. A local friend is currently borrowing it and considering a purchase. Feel free to DM me to reserve a spot in line if it doesn't sell.
    Friends Price: $950 + shipping + Paypal fee (same as I paid to Clem)
    Non-friends price: add $200 (which I'll donate to SBAF so I'm not making a profit).

    All of the remaining items are free, just pay for shipping
    . Of course shipping is free if you buy something else and I can ship them together:
    • CLAIMED ASC Capacitor 60uF 500Vdc LTI 4-5 Series Metalized Polypropylene. 3 pairs. One pair used briefly, the other two are new.
    • CLAIMED Breakout board for the Alps blue velvet POT. 3 of them.
    • CLAIMED Resistors for the BH Crack volume mod. I messed up the stock pot attempting this mod and ended up replacing it with the Alps blue velvet instead. Specifically 75k OHM and 33.2K OHM resistors. I have a few of each and most are unused.
    • CLAIMED Pair of GE 6FQ7 tubes that came with a Stax Energizer. I don't know how old they are nor anything beyond the fact that they worked when I tried them which is why they're free. I barely used them.

    Jameco makes a USA compatible power supply for the Stax Energizer with the proper +/- orientation

    Any 12V power supply, or a USB-C PD powerbank and a 12V cable would work with the Stax enerigzer, provided you either

    - cut and reterminate with a regular 2.5mm plug inverting polarity (or cut and cross wires), or
    - use one of the cheap inverting cable adapters available from Amazon/Aliexpress

    iFi iPowers come with an inverting pigtail also. Chances are the 12V model would work fine for this energizer.
