708B is a tube headphone amplifier that can also be used as a tube pre-amplifier.

With an excellent circuit and sophisticated components, the 708B amplifier delivers superior performance in sound quality and tone. Through practical audition, this amplifier proves to be dynamic, highly analytical, with clear and refreshing treble, and a pleasant overall experience. The mid-frequency range is full and rich in voice, while the low-frequency response is full and flexible.

By using constrained-layer-damped shelves in a beautifully machined aluminum rack, with both the shelves themselves and the struts on which the shelves sit separated from one another by roller bearings, Symposium's Isis did not just turn resonant energy more efficiently into heat; it also seemed to more effectively drain that energy away without feeding it (or select parts of it) back into the items sitting n the shelves.

The patented Isis Rack doesn't merely excel at meeting the goals for which all high quality equipment racks should strive - acoustic neutrality, simplicity of design, excellent energy drainage and dissipation, isolation from floor borne vibration, and an optimal mechanical ground path - the Isis Rack, goes beyond these goals with innovations that exist in no other racks - at any price.

2 identical units available.

The Opera Seconda is a floor-standing three-way column speaker that is reflex loaded. There are two 5" long-throw SEAS woofers with polypropylene cones and a 5” SEAS midrange driver. The cones are made from double-treated paper. The tweeter, by Scanspeak, is the same we use on the more expensive Seconda and Quinta 2011 models. Impedance for the Grand Mezza is a nominal 4 ohms.The Opera Grand Mezza 2012 is a comprehensive and versatile speaker system suitable for the most demanding musical programs, and it can be used in sophisticated home theater systems as well.

The Pandora is a fully-balanced vacuum tube based digital-to-analogue converter with USB, S/PIDIF, AES/EBU and Toslink inputs.

High quality construction techniques include an all-aluminium chassis, stainless steel faraday cage to isolate digital sections, multiple power transformers in a stainless steel enclosure, and multiple regulation stages. These components raise the bar for all digital products.

Pandora Signature offer true native DSD 1x and 2x functionality over USB. The entire DSP processing section is replaced (pictured above, click to enlarge). The new section includes an advanced Xilinx gate-array which allows the DSP to be completely bypassed for pure DSD 1x and 2x operation. No alteration of DSD data occurs. Many DACs in the market that claim to play DSD actually convert the data to PCM and thereby completely lose the purpose of DSD operation.

In near mint condition, with remote control.

The L-106 is a transformer-coupled tube preamplifier featuring a TKD broadcast-grade 40 step attenuator, vintage NOS Siemens C3m and Sylvania 7044 vacuum tubes. The output stage uses a double C core Finemet copper output transformers.

Unlike other commercial products, the chassis of the L-106 is built like a tank and uses milled aluminium of the highest grade and solid isolation footers to damp any vibrations.

In mint condition and looks like new! Comes with original metal flight case.

This very attractive dark-red colored mat finished twin-lead speaker cable is designed to produce the best transfer quality at an affordable price.

* Each lead consists of 483 x 0.15 mm. high purity Matched Crystal (MC) OFC strands with a dense and very pure silver coating.
* The resistance per lead is just: 0.21 Ohm/100 meter.
* The metal cross-section area for each conductor is: 8.54 mm², equalling AWG 8.
* The capacitance between the 2 leads is a nice and low 27 pF/meter.
* Covering the 2 conductors you will find an extra Linear Structured Carbon ® saturated layer.
* This layer dramatically improves the sonic qualities of The MAGNUM HYBRID.
* The cable jacket is made of our HULLIFLEX ® 5, a very flexible and mechanically superb insulation material.

2.5m pair, terminated with Black Rhodium expandable banana plugs.

Combining a Class A analog input stage with a high-efficiency Class D output stage, DPA-1M operates equally well on the floor, on an amp stand, or in a very tight space. A price-to-performance bellwether, this Peter Madnick-designed and U.S.A.-made component manages to give you the best of all worlds without the traditional shortcomings of Class D designs and with all the fun, grip, and involvement you expect from high-end instruments.

"Both the stereo and the mono versions of this amplifier sounded like indefatigable powerhouses, with plenty of dynamic headroom. I never heard the amplifier soften the bass, harden textures, or congeal the soundstage, no matter what the playback level or how demanding the music."
– Robert Harley, The Absolute Sound

The Clearaudio Smart Phono Phono Stage's miniature size means that signal path lengths are kept extremely short which leads to a pure and noise-free musical reproduction, much greater than that of typical products in this price range.

The external power supply keeps the delicate phono signal away from mains power, minimising hum and noise. High quality gold plated input and output RCA terminals on the Clearaudio Smart Phono give a superb contact which will not degrade over time.

Switching is provided for both MM (moving magnet) and MC (moving coil) cartridges, making the Clearaudio Smart Phono compatible with virtually all phono cartridges.
