Hi. Well, a little introduction I guess. I'm a 20 year old college student. I've never had much interest in home theaters nor had I the money or room to set one up, so I know little to nothing about this sort of audio/video equipment. My father on the other hand, spent probably tens of thousand on his home theater and recently all of it got passed down to me.
I've been trying to cut down the theater and sell what I don't need and what isn't being used. For example, I don't really need a dedicated $3,500 CD player, especially when theres two other systems hooked up that are perfectly fine for playing CDs.
This is the list of devices that I've put together with what bit of information I could find:
Tice Audio
Power Block
Titan Energy Storage System
Microblock
Does anybody know the MSRP or selling price on these three? I cant find anything online about them, and apparently the company shut down and the website doesnt work anymore. The Power Block seems to plug into the Titan, so I'm guessing those two should be sold together? (with or without the Microblock?)
Counterpoint
DA-11A CD Transport
DA-10A Digital Converter - 20 Bit/Zero Feedback Mainframe
Solid 1AM Power Amp
Nakamichi
NR-200 Dolby B-C Type Noise Reduction System
CA-1 (MSRP: $2300) Audio/Video Control Amplifier
Genesis
Servo / Power Amplifier This one seems to have a deck (no model number) and a big subwoofer-like speaker box. I think they sell together (?), unique cable plugs one into the other.
Furutech
Pro. 168 AC Power Line Receptacle Filter
Sonic Frontier Incorporated
SFL-1 Signature Pre-Amplifier (MSRP: $1495) - Black face, can't find a picture of it online.
Assemblage
D2D-1 Sample Rate Converter (MSRP: $700) - Link (http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volume_8_3/assemblage-31-dac-and-d2d1-sample-rate-converter-7-2001.html)
Elac
4π Plus II (MSRP: ?) Like some of the others, I don't have any clue what this is. I have two of them and both of them have stands. Link (http://www.elac.com/en/products/showarchive.php?c=diverse/4_pi_plus_2&h=Products%3A+4Pi+Plus+II+%28no+longer+produced%29 +)
Krell
KAV-280cd (MSRP: $3500) This is the only one I've started to sell. I'm trying to get around $1,500 for it, but that's based off of somebody else's completed Ebay auction. Hopefully that is in the right range.
Teac
R-9 Digital Audio Tape Deck - I'm assuming this is worth nothing since nobody uses DATs anymore. Link (http://www.sanyo-densi.com/dai2/audio/teac_r_9.htm)
If anybody has any advice, suggestions, or information, such as what I should hold onto, what's not worth selling/hard to sell, and/or pricing info, it would be very much appreciated.
Would Audiogon be suggested for selling these or Ebay? It seems like to sell on Audiogon requires a certain amount of knowledge of what I'm selling, so I was going to sell on ebay, as I already have an account there with good ratings. Do auctions usually sell for more on AG?
Thanks a lot.
