Attention Washington, DC Area Audiophiles - Cheap Audio Gear on the Loose!

Posted by svisner on July 4, 2017 at 14:24:15:
First, the bad news. Our house underwent six months of renovation. We have just returned home and we've learned that we acquired too many things over the years - things we use or need no longer (if ever we did). So, trip after trip to the Salvation Army as we try to clear room to put art on the walls, carpets on the floors, clothes in dressers. You get the picture.
Now, the good news. In an effort to make way for replacement gear and to lighten the load of gear I don't need or intend to the use, the Salvation Army in Bladensburg, MD, on Kenilworth Avenue, has received from us loads of audio gear. It may take some time for the gear to appear on shelves, and I am told that the loot is distributed among several Salvation Army stores in the region. So, be on the lookout.
For what?
Conrad Johnson PV10AL preamp. Tube Depot mini tube amp. Knight KG75 power amp (needs some work, but very salvageable), and a vintage Knight stereo integrated. Three (and possibly four) ASL-1 monoblocs. A KT77 tube amp (from China, and quite nice). Musical Fidelity DAC. Musical Fidelity tube headphone amp, Magnum Dynalab MD90T (yes has DAC with tube) tuner. Yaesu FRG-7 shortwave receiver (nice piece, great condition). Sony five-disk CD/DCD changer. I think there's a JVC five-disk DVD player, too. Hsu 10 inch subwoofer and power amp. AMC tube power amp. Emotiva power amp. Pay of Dayton speakers (or are they Pioneer Andrew Jones smaller models). A couple of vintage electrostatic tweeters. Two Parts Express two-way crossovers. A microscope with USB (needs driver) Maybe a few more things.
So, good hunting. Enjoy. Help the people helped by the Salvation Army. Happy 4th of July and best wishes to our great country.
