​

Goldpoint SA1X-47 - $380. SOLD

• Bought from @ogodei a few weeks ago, tried it in my system for an hour or so, realized it just wasn't for me (yeah, I was the person who said it killed engagement or whatnot), and haven't used it since. But most if not all people love this thing/consider it the one of the most transparent passive-preamps, so I may be alone here/just filled with nervosa haha.
• The stepped attenuator works perfectly, with zero pops/hiss or whatnot. This is the more expensive 47-step version, with smooth 1.5db increments down to zero. Exterior looks like-new, ogodei took great care of this.
• Can come with a set of monoprice stage-right 1m xlr cables for free.

Schiit Gungnir Multibit A2, Gen 5 - $825

• Bought this new from schiit in late 2018. This has served me very well since then, probably put several hundred hours on it. Sounds wonderful, but since moving my desk is smaller, I've found the smaller bifrost 2 better suits my setup. This has been taken good care of and looks great cosmetically.
• Will include a free blue jeans 1m coax cable and a free schiit pyst 1m usb cable.
• Keep in mind this has the Gen-5 usb. Upgrading to unison can be done for roughly $240 (or you can just buy a pi2aes, which costs the same and sounds "better" IMO).

Drop x JVC FDX1 bundle - $200 SOLD

• Bought new from drop late 2019, tried for maybe 5 hours, then they've been sitting in the box ever since. They're practically like-new.
• Will include my old es100 and a 2.5mm balanced cable I picked up in Japan for free (only with this bundle). The es100 is in rough physical shape (scratched, missing clip, etc), but sounds perfectly fine. The es100 has a balanced 2.5mm jack, and with the 2.5mm balanced cable the FDx1 sounds pretty good honestly (did a quick listen just to check).
• Will include the original case, filters, earbuds etc.

Cables:

• Oppo pm3 surf-audio cable. 3.5mm to 2.5mm. Will sell for $40 shipped if anyone is interested.
• Blue Jeans coax cable 1m(?) rca-rca. Will bundle with schiit gungnir multibit.
• Schiit Pyst USB 1m. Will bundle with schiit gungnir multibit.
• Monoprice Stage Right 1m XLR. Will bundle with either schiit gungnir multibit or goldpoint sa1x-47.
• Audioquest Yukon 1m XLR. $200 shipped. Will bundle with schiit gungnir multibit or goldpoint sa1x-47 for $150 extra.

Toobs:

• 2x Sylvania 6FJ7 (for SEX 3.0 I believe) - $10 shipped SOLD
• 2x 5654W (for little dot i+ iirc) - $10 shipped

Thanks for looking! Again, questions/comments are welcome



Sold stuff:

Zmf Auteur - $1150 SOLD

• Bought from @drgumbybrain in late May 2020. Added maybe 50 hours to it and bought some new Auteur Lambskin pads for it.
  
• @drgumbybrain took good care of this thing. It looks basically brand new, except for a light scuff(?) that's only visible with light on the left side wood. Pads and headband are in excellent condition
• Comes with LTD Mahogany box
• Comes with three pads: Auteur, Eikon, and Universe lambskin.
• Comes with two cables: a ZMF OFC 1/4" cable, and a stock ribbon XLR cable.

Audio Zenith PMx2 v2 - $1050 SOLD

• Bought from a head-fi user back in April 2018, added a couple hundred hours to it since.
  
• Grilles, chassis, and leather earpads look great, but the faux leather headband is starting to crack (see pictures). I'm including a woven headband cover to help cover it just in case.
  
• Comes with four cables: original pm-2 1/4" cable, long audio zenith 1/4" cable, 6ft PeterK OCC cable 1/8", 5ft Surf audio OCC cable balanced 4-pin XLR
• Comes with original denim case, box

Focal Clear - $815 SOLD

• Bought new early 2019, I'm the first owner and it has been used probably roughly 100-200 hours or so. Bought a utopia so this is no longer needed.
• There's some very light wear on the pads (see pictures), and some very small chipped paint on the chassis, but otherwise in great condition.
• Comes with all stock accessories, including three cables, travel hard case, and box.

EC Black Widow v1 + v2 power supply parts - $950 SOLD

• Very rare V1 compact version of the EC Black Widow with separate power supply, afaik only around a dozen of these were made in total.
  
• Includes switch power supply, and the v2 shunt regulator board + power transformer (see pics)
  • Craig said these parts are worth $250 by themselves. I'm going to prefer bundling it with the BW for shipping cost reasons, but if someone wants to buy these parts separately feel free to send me a PM.
• It arrived from Craig with slight tarnish on the RCA plugs, doesn't affect sound as far as I can hear. Other than that everything is in great condition.

 

Amazing price on the PMX-2s. I got mine just recently... This should go fast! GLWS.

 

Seems like @ogodei has started a movement within SBAF hahaha

Trusted friend and seller, @pure5152 really takes good care of his gear and is the type of guy who sends you thoughtful notes whenever he sends you shit. Buy with confidence!

 

Are those Auteur Blackwood?

 

Yep, blackwood auteur with matte finish (not glossy), brass grilles, and aluminum black rods.

 

Super curious about the PMx2, but I'm one of those nutjobs with an original HE-6. Maybe I'm just chasing different for the sake of different.

 

Interesting -- first set I've seen with the matte finish.

 

Indeed. It is like a narwhal of headphones. Always wanted to hear one but never had the opportunity or wanted to drop 1100 to 1800 to try it.

 

All I have is unfolded laundry and remote controls lying around ...

GLWS

 

Prices lowered a little and include paypal fees now (and free shipping to CONUS as before). Now open to known posters/contributors (i.e. not randos who just signed up) as well. Will post on head-fi with higher prices soon.

 

Auteur sold to @vtrinidad87

 

Oh my babies!! Please take good care

 

PMx2 and Clear were sold on head-fi.

BW1 was sold to @CEE TEE


Goldpoint, Gungnir A2, FDx1 bundle, and various cables still available!

 

^Will build that power supply!

 

price drops on remaining items

 

That JVC bundle is ridiculously good.

 

fdx1 sold to @Cspirou

goldpoint sa1x-47 and gungnir a2 still available

 

I will take the Goldpoint SA1X-47.

 

SA1X-47 sold to @squishware!

Just the gungnir multibit a2 available now.

 

Decided to keep the gungnir multibit after all. I decided to give the gungnir another try after it didn’t sell for a while, and found the performance with the 3f to be a significant improvement over the Bifrost 2. Will just figure out a way to make space in my current desk setup.

This thread is now closed, thanks everyone!
