Esoteric P70 CD transport remote control
A couple of dings. One on the ridge above the open/close button. And one on upper right ridge.
Changing Times. Crank it up to warp Nine.
We’ve had a specials page for most of our 12+ year history.
But it was never like this.
The easiest way to buy demo and used audio equipment [often trade-ins or gear on consignment] is once again direct from the dealers themselves. Trust. Support. Email. And you can use credit cards.
Our new Used and Demo Audio page is very popular with links to many dealer’s special pages.
We want to be there to meet this demand and help audiophiles find their used ‘gems’ as well as, of course, their new ones.
So now we have tons of stuff on our page where we sell our own demo and used audio equipment.
I had no idea we had this much stuff squirreled away.
Lots of stuff I never knew we had at all [but someone knew. Guess who?]
Crazy Audiophile Wife Stories
One of us [not me] has been piling up boxes of stuff in the Audio Closet. In Listening room 3. The garage, the storage unit, the dining room table [seriously, yes] for YEARS. *I* just thought the ever growing mess was bad organization skills on the part of one of us [no, not me either :-)].
My wife is a pack-rat!
Who knew! [I guess maybe I am supposed to know these things? How am I supposed to keep up? Now she wants to collect phono cartridges. ???!!! Me? Speakers and amps and turntables? Yes. Definitely. Why not. Cartridges? No. That. Is. Just. Nuts. :-)].
[We’ve been trying to sell our house for awhile, and come to think of it, I wonder what the lookey-loos thought about all the boxes and cables and tweaks laying around. It’ll be nice when we can have a little more elbow room here. Maybe I’m just getting old and like to see the walls and floor sometimes ;-/]
Special Specials
So now we have one of the largest specials pages in the U.S. Us! Audio Federation! A sale. Feels weird.We hardly ever feel so ‘traditionally store-like’.
The only relatively new thing of ours we are selling [i.e. it is less than 5 years old :-)] is the Acapella Atlas speakers. These have been to a few shows and we have all agreed that they deserve a nice happy place in someone’s listening room where they can just make music for a good long while. [People, you should get these if you can swing it. Awesome performance. Awesome special pricing. Just saying.]
We take Consignments
And, beyond the stuff Neli has been putting in the corners, Under the beds. Behind the desks. On top of the closets. Is a lot of stuff we are selling is on consignment. Many people were never that comfortable with selling online, and it has gotten worse the last few years for high-end audio.
We are happy to do consignment for our customers and other reasonable people. We have one of the best world-wide reputations and tons of goodwill with audiophiles everywhere. We accept credit cards and wire transfers – and we are always happy to get gear into our international friends hands as much as we are people here in the Americas.
Happy shopping. And to infinity and a little bit more.
These were here on consignment. The owner has decided to keep them in his second system.
These Kipods [pronounced key-podes] were displayed at RMAF 2013 in the DEQX room.
We heard the Sonja version of these modded speakers at RMAF 2013 NVS-modded YG Acoustics sonja speakers at RMAF 2013. We loved them. Especially me (I was able to spend more time there than Neli :-)). There was definitely something special going on.
Standard retail on Kipod speakers is $38,800 for standard versions, about $50,000 for the factory Kipod Signatures, and $59,500 for these upgraded NVS versions which were prepared in partnership with YG Acoustics.
Send us an email or give Neli a call if you’re interested.
<Updated April 2016> If you’d like to own these and are ready to make an offer somewhere in the mid twenties (about 40% of the original MSRP for this upgraded model) … I’d be happy to contact the owner and ask if he’s ready to part with them. The crossover is the current Haley model. The subwoofer crossover is using one generation old inductors, but that’s the only thing out of date. Yes, the model itself is older and seemingly discontinued, but YG still carries it if requested.
The Kipod doesn’t have any scratches on it, but on the back panel it appears that the people who had borrowed the Kipods for the RMAF 2013 show painted one screw black. There are slight traces of the sealing material in some of the seams where the panels join together. Also, the original customer had asked for the ‘Customized by NVS Sound’ be painted black after assembly had been completed, so it is not anodized, simply painted. More photos available upon request.
Otherwise, they are in perfect condition.
As of this posting, a new set of front baffles for the Kipods (at a cost of $1,165) can be machined, if the buyer so desires.
You all know we like the YG Acoustics speakers – and these particular speakers are modded to sound even better than the factory Kipods. Someone should get these who is hopefully local so we can go over and hear them once in awhile
