Up for consideration is my beloved pair of Focal Utopia 2020s in fantastic condition! If I didn't need the money for the Geshelli Dayzee, these would not be going anywhere (and I'll no doubt buy them again when I have the $$), but I have 6 other headphones and 5 amplifiers (Geshelli being the obvious choice as it can decode 6 amps simultaneously). These are my best cans but they're the only ones I can sell to get the Dayzee ($2000 USD). Everything original and in fantastic condition. Throwing in $1000 of cables - 1 TOTL Aurealis (Australian made) Silver cable ($700), 1.5m, 6.3mm termination (because Utopias love tubes and most tube amps are SE) and A Furutech balanced 4 pin XLR ($300), which is 3m long. Both top notch quality cables. I am open to serious offers btw. Welcome to inspect and demo. Can EXPRESS ship for $40 anywhere in Australia or New Zealand (it's a huge, heavy box!). If you want Utopias and expensive cables in awesome condition and a great price, you WILL NOT be disappointed! -

The 4 upgraded Opamps are worth $500 (and are new!) These as-new condition (literally 2 months old), new model ZA3 Stereo/Mono power amps, balanced by themselves are very good and very powerful. There are 2 so it's stereo. But when you add 2 (new) Sparkos SS3602 opamps in the XLR stage, and 2 (new) Burson V7 Vivd Pros in the volume stage, and upgrade to the 48a5v power supplies, they become UNBELIEVABLY good!!! Watch Passion For Sound's video on them (link below). They are rated at 180w into 4 ohm in stereo, but 48v 5w power increases that to 240w. These are insanely powerful, detailed, crisp with much imporved soundstage, (both width and depth) and and instrument separation, with the 4 upgraded opamps and power supply. I use them to drive Elac Solano BS283 4 ohm bookies and a 300w Paradigm subby. The power, bass and clarity is amazing!! I removed front plated to demonstrate some internals. More photos if anyone needs. Face plates come with them obviously (I like bright, flashy things haha, so left them off for the past few weeks). The total amount is over $1000 ($500 for the 4 opamps alone), so this absolutely amazing value!! I have added 8 lovely isolation feet and I also have done some cosmetic upgrades (LED's inside). Buyer can remove easily if not desired. This is honestly a magnificent powerful and quality power amp package to get your speakers singing and the quality is so, so good (with the upgrades). Can post for $20 anywhere in Australia, and welcome to demo, as it is with all of my items. The new buyer will be extremely happy, just as I have been. -

Big price drop - I'm in trouble with the wife. I bought the Advance Paris before selling. My loss is honestly, your gain! Look at what the whole package is worth - absolute bargain, trust me! Make me a decent offer. Up for consideration is this amazing 3w SET hybrid tube headphone amplifier and pre-amplifier from McChanson (Eric) in Sydney, who makes the most wonderful bespoke valve amps, and has done for decades. He is a genuinely lovely man who cares deeply for his passion and and gives customer service a new name!!!!!!! Honest regrettable sale as I need the money for an Advance Paris Power amp for my speakers. This comes with many different tubes to roll!! This veritable beast is 8.2kgs!! It is less than 1 year old and in "as new" condition. I have proof of purchase if required. This is a high quality two-stage of the Wonder tube 6Y6G/GT OR other pin compatible tubes, in triode mode driven by a 6SL7 ( workable with 6SN7 or 12AU7, 12AT7, 12AX7 with adapter) , output through an output transformer (own designed quality 30VA Z11 core ) outputs about 3W capable of driving most headphones including those Power Hungry ones. From Eric regarding my amp: Hi Andrew, Your MiniGold UltimatE has a switch in the middle of top plate marked + and -, This is to use for increase or lower the bias voltage ( i.e current ), which is new to the current version of UltimatE, You are the first one ( other than my MiniSilver ) that has this "wonderful" switch. When you find the power in the current setting having a bias a bit too low ( i.e. best bias range is 40 to 60 mV), say 30mV, if the switch is NOT already in + position, then switch it to + position. to allow the bias to increase a bit.. Similarly when the power tube the bias reading is too high, and if the switch is not already in - position, switch it to - to lower the current... Allowable max is about 65 mV though, provided that the power transformer is not too hot, i.e. untouchable. When you increase the bias, you always should see it it is not over the allowed plate dissipation of the power tube. Most small power tubes are of about 10W, as a rule of thumb, let the ceiling be about 60mV, conservatively.... This was handmade specifically for me. It has a gold face plate (normally silver or black) and 1 gold encased transformer. It has an upgraded Alps mini Volume Pot, blue led power light and as mentioned, and an extremely handy bias switch to allow a wider variety of tubes to roll. It comes with well over $500 of extra tubes and adapters (see photos), mostly NOS. This amp has many different sounds and flavours, depending on the tube configuration in each stage. It honestly is a fantastic sounding valve amplifier with a massive bank of clean power to drive just about any headphone on the planet. A fellow audiophile equated it sonically to the Bottlehead Single Ended eXperiment (SEX) tube amp. Crystal clear but bags of tubey goodness with a liquid midrange. One extra bonus is my friend in the USA who is an expert on tubes who will happily receive communication on any questions regarding this amp's current suite of tubes or potential new wonderful tubes to roll - he is a tube-savant so I asked his permission to give advice to the new owner. Welcome to inspect if near west of Melbourne, you will not be disappointed! PM me for any more details or questions you may have. Note - one of the photos has detailed notes on the amp. If I wasn't spending money on speaker amps, this would be staying with me forever. See link for current iteration. This puts my value proposition even better for the potential buyer given all the tubes and adapters it comes with for rolling. https://www.ebay.com/itm/116154143174?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ZsP7yUB4QIK&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=DpEQbXGpSsq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY -

Fantastic Condition Full Model Sparkos Labs Aries HP amp!! If you know this amp, you'll know just how much it retails for new!!! Regrettably selling this awesome amp as I have 3 tube amps an am focussing predominantly on tubes at the moment. Selling at a great price so take advantage. Comes with upgraded power cable. Can ship for FREE within Australia or New Zealand!! https://sparkoslabs.com/aries-headphone-amplifier-and-preamp/ This is a magnificent 2.8w amplifier using Sparkos Pro discrete and DIP-8 op-amps and utilises a 64 step relay precision stepped attenuator to drive just about any 16-300 ohm headphone on the planet (I'm assured by numerous other owners it will drive Susvara with 10-20db headroom but I have not tested that out personally as I don't own Susvaras). Comes with upgraded power cable (see picture), without original box (but extremely well packaged to send). This can easily be an end-game amplifier and if willing to travel, happy for you to demo, you will not be disappointed!

Hi Mike. Thanks-they came up really well imo. I saw z-reviews do yellow ( too bright) and I think it was josh valor (or someone) do red which looked good, but the blue is subtle but not. andvyes-the copper mass from custom cans, no foam. I actually also removed foam from ear cups too (but put back in for sale). Gives a little more treble. This is a great value package. Thanks for your interest.

Hi mate, Definitely interested but you'll probably have sold them as I'm looking to buy a pair at the end of December. If you still have them (not confident), give me a shout!! -
This lovely little fully balanced tube EQ can be used as a headphone amp/preamp and is only 4 months old with about 40 hrs use. $170 new, this is a bargain!! Uses swappable 6N3 tubes to tube-roll. Has an awesome SNR of 98Db, so quiet as a mouse. 5-band freq - 64hz, 236hz, 1khz, 4khz, 16khz. Throwing in Oz power adapter, comes with original box, manual and stock tubes. Only selling to go dual 20-band (getting right into EQing). Postage - $10 anywhere in Aus or local pickup. Advertised elsewhere.

This is $445 value in as new-condition! Yes- these are real wood at this price and these are in perfect condition!! They are stunning to look at, especially in the brown and tan! They have about 20 hrs use and I am also throwing in the balanced Sivga official 4.4mm cable as well (they only came with 3.5mm SE cable). The official Sivga balanced cable was an additional $45 from Sivga (invoice too if needed) These will run beautifully off any dongle, phone etc but sound great on desktop gear too. I used them with my Ifi GoBlu and they sounded lovely!! Do your homework before buying - not for bass-heads but clarity and dynamics is amazing for this price. EQ up the bass and they are magnificent! Purchased in June 2023, invoice for warranty is included. Watch Passion for Sound's review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocK5lC2WTtA These are $400 new (plus $45 extra cable) so a damn good price given how new they are/little use. If nearby or can get to Geelong area, welcome to test before buying. Can post anywhere in Australia for just $10 or pick up locally and try first if desired. Advertised elsewhere.
