  1. This NSM Model 5SE speakers are in excellent overall condition. Come with grills, manuals, original box. They are an acoustically matching pair, serial numbers confirm that. My price is $200. New they were selling for $499 and they still command excellent value. The review below summarizes my impressions of them. It is hard to buy speakers of this quality now, especially SE version of Model 5 with all the upgrades. The Model 5 Signature Edition is a hot rod version of the Model 5. The cabinet is a hand rubbed white Russian Baltic birch plywood cabinet, long known for its anti-resonant properties and sonic quality. The Model 5 SE is hot rodded with Superior ™ binding posts, polypropelene capacitor by-passed with film foil capacitor, metal oxide resistor, and DH Labs silver sonic internal wire. Imagine sound, imaging, and soundstaging even more exquisite than that of the standard Model 5. Buyer pays actual shipping and PP fees. I have perfect scores on Audiogon and eBay if you need to see them just let me know. Buy with confidence and please review detailed hi-res pictures. SPECIAL FEATURES: Magnetically shielded Time Coherent Point Source Design: time-aligned, two-way, first-order, point source, acoustic suspension Drivers: 1 inch soft dome, ferro-cooled tweeter, 4.5 inch carbon fiber full-range driver Crossovers: 18 AWG laminated copper inductor, polypropeline capacitor, non-inductive wire wound resistor, multi-strand copper to tweeter, inductor is wired directly between full-range driver and terminal. Cabinet: acoustic suspension Connectors: gold plated copper five-way binding posts Review summarizes it best, they are truly holographic: "The only speaker I could find that could cast a more rock-solid center image is the utterly minuscule, stupidly-good-at-the-price, ... NSM Model 5SE, which shoots images in the room like a laser and beats out just about any speakers in this regard. The little NSMT presents center-placed vocal images as if they are right THERE, like a softball hovering in the air. It's almost eerie and, no doubt, the Model 5's fit-in-the-palm-of-your-hand size helps."
  2. I can see why Apple does not want to make them upgradable because previous gen will outlast current gen due to upgrade possibilities and quad core CPU.
  3. I had it for a year. It is in perfect condition. Zero problems. Sold my Fritz Reference monitors and Teac sits unused. It is $849 everywhere on the Net now my price cut makes it my loss your gain. Please see hi-res pictures for conditions. All original packaging, accessories, manuals are included. I have perfect rating on Audiogon, USAudiomart and eBay. Buyer pays actual insured shipping and PayPal fees. Please feel free to ask questions. Spec: Supports DSD 2.8/5.6MHz playback and PCM 32bit/384kHz playback (via USB) Supports PCM 24bit/192kHz playback (Coaxial) and up to 24bit/96kHz playback (Optical) Two BurrBrown PCM1795 D/A Converters and Four MUSES8920 operational amplifiers 1 USB Audio Input, 2 Optical Inputs, 2 Coaxial Inputs and 1 Stereo RCA/XLR Outputs Full-metal jacket. Gorgeous aluminum panels for front top and sides. Small A4 footprint.
  4. I am selling a pair of the mint NHT SuperOne 2.1 sealed bookshelf speakers in excellent like new conditions. 6.5" paper woofers are fast and so you can listen to them without a subwoofer. I paid $310 for them. My loss is your gain. $170 + actual shipping charge. All original packaging and manuals are available. Buy with confidence, I have solid feedback on eBay and Audiogon. Specs: SuperOne 2.1 sports a 6.5" long throw pulp cone woofer and a 1" silk dome tweeter. It features a lower crossover point at 2.4kHz than the original using a 12 dB/octave LP and a 18 dB/octave HP. At just 11.6" Tall x 7.25" Wide x 8.5" Deep, the SuperOne 2.1 is very compact. However, unlike most small speakers, which try to fool you with boomy, pseudo-bass from a port, the Super One 2.1's acoustic suspension (sealed) enclosure focuses on making beautiful, lifelike midrange and high frequencies with surprisingly musical bass.
  5. For Late 2012 build-to-order Core i7 Quad-core MacMini A1347 , (Apple no longer makes powerful Quad-core MacMini's and this is the one, it can run Final Cut Pro without breaking a sweat, in this one you can also add memory and change SSD, not that you need to but on new ones you cannot. All upgrades are genuine Apple including SSD and upgraded 8GB of RAM and installed by factory. The price new was $1280 for it. My price is $825 + actual shipping. It is in perfect condition, see the pictures, all factory OEM boxes, manual, AC cord are provided. I take extremely good care of my equipment and this one saw very low hours as it was supposed to be HTPC but we used our Oppo player 100% of the time. I know the price for it and you know the price for it. If you feel you can buy cheaper, please purchase there, my unit is immaculate in every way and runs Yosemite without a hitch. It has every single thing that came with it when new. Aluminum body is without a scratch or dent. I have perfect rating on eBay and Audiogon, feel free to ask for references. Specs are: The Apple Mac mini "Core i7" 2.3 (Late 2012/Aluminum Unibody) features a 22-nm Quad Core "Ivy Bridge" 2.3 GHz Intel "Core i7" (3615QM) processor with four independent processor "cores" on a single chip, a 6 MB shared level 3 cache, 8 GB of 1600 MHz DDR3 SDRAM (PC3-12800) memory, a 256 SSD and Intel HD Graphics 4000 which shares system memory. Connectivity includes a Firewire "800" port, four USB 3.0 ports, HDMI, Thunderbolt, combined "audio line in (digital/analog)" and combined "audio line out/headphone (digital/analog)" minijacks, a 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet port, 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and an SDXC card slot.
  6. The Absolute Sound Editor's Choice Reference Monitor excellent condition in high gloss black. Only 25 hours on it. I bought them 3 weeks ago and just now got an offer to pay the deposit for the custom speakers of my dream. It will take a long time 3x the price of the Audience The One. My impressions of these speakers in nearfield with Teac 502 DAC and DSD material are just 9 of 10 and I mean it, fantastic soundstage, excellent instrument separation, precise and accurate but non-fatiguing, you can listen for hours to them on the desktop. New these speakers are $1070 with stands. I am selling these speakers at the very heavy discount. I will include Audience OEM $75 angled stands for free. Buy with confidence, see my Audiogon, eBay and US AudioMart perfect ratings. Buyer pays actual charges for PayPal and insured double boxed FedEx shipping.
  7. Teac UD-01 does not get attention that it deserves. I do not read specs much other than features, then all of the testing is done by listening, and not those A/B tests but just sitting for hours and listening to one DAC and then another. I put Teac vs. Bitfrost vs. ODAC, vs. Emotiva via Audirvana and USB and to my ears (I have been measured recently by an audiologist to be up to 20kHz, hear violin really well), Teac has very strong emotional sound with 24-bit content. You enjoy listening to it for hours but not in the "elevator music" style listening, it pulls you in. Bitfrost is anemic, lows are just dull especially in mid bass. Highs are rolled off. ODAC is overall very balanced, very comfortable and for the money cannot be beat. In my listening, it does play 16-44 and 24-96 extremely well, but it gets funny with 24-88,176,192 content. Cannot explain but feels that I am listening through Acousticly-transperent cloth. Emotiva is a another DAC that offers good by not great sound, overall, it is feels a bit rolled off, especially when you compare to Teac. Emotiva would be good choice for the HT system to listen occasionally, but for dedicated 2-channel room, Teac is #1, then Odac if you have anti-Teac prejudice. After all, find a place to buy them with good return policies and listen, listen, listen in your system. Reviews are really useless. No doubt I will get flamed for the above but it is what sounds good to me in my setup in my room.
