B&W (Bowers & Wilkins) 803, Krell amp+preamp, Cary CD-308

B&W Nautilus 803

$3300

For sale are the highly regarded B&W Nautilus 803s in black wood-grain finish. These speakers look and sound great and do not frequently come up for sale. They are in good shape. The top edges are slightly nicked (as I received them). I am the second owner without the original packing materials. Rated 7 because of the blemishes.

KRELL 250a

$1500

Krell 250p

$700

I am the second owner of both the amp and preamp, originally purchased in 2002 and acquired in 2005.  They have performed flawlessly the whole time. There is not a scratch or blemish on the units. Nothing has ever been placed on it or around it.  The original owner didn’t have the original box, nor was I given the 12v trigger cable. User manual and remote for the preamp are included, as well as xlr, RCA cables, and power cables - see below. I rated these units conservatively at a 7 only because of their overall age.

Cary Audio CD-308 black faceplate

$500

I have for sale a one owner black faceplate Cary Audio CD-308 red-book player in great condition. Purchased new in 2005. I rate it an 8/10 for age only, approximately 15 years old. There are no dents, nicks or scratches. The remote is like new. This is the solid state non-tubed version. The unit plays flawlessly and contains Burr Brown DAC’s with 96/24 up-sampling and HDCD decoding capability. It weighs approximately 25 lbs, built with quality components and made in the USA. Remote, power cord and manual are included, but not the original box.

All components have resided in a climate controlled home since purchase. Additionally, I have run the system for not more than 60 hours in total.

I am hoping to sell this entire collection together, and willing to drive up to 5 hours in any direction from Iowa City. Or you can come to pick up the items yourself. I would also include all items below: rack, aluminum bases, marble bases and all cables, all for $6000.

AGR Audio Rack Series (AGR404) Silver Glass Audio Rack

as shown in the photo, purchased in 2005 to hold the various components. Originally $500.

2 aluminum isolating bases - 16x12x4”

The person from whom I bought the speakers and Krell units had these made locally. His home had hard-wood floors, and I believe they helped to keep bass frequencies neutral. I paid owner $400 for the pair.

2 black marble bases - 24x12x1”

I had these made about 10 years ago, esp. as I needed a solid platform to keep the bases off the carpet. About $300 new.

2 Audioquest (RCA) cables - 20” (.25m), Ruby x3 Hyperlitz

2 Transparent Audio Laboratory xlr cables 42”

3 power cables
