Wanted: Home Audio and Stereo (Working and As-is) Audio Research Mcintosh Sonic Frontiers VTL VAC Accuphase Threshold BAT Krell Modern and Vintage

Hello! I'm Chris and I currently live in the Los Angeles/Orange County area of California. I am primarily looking to purchase modern and/or vintage audio equipment that may either work (fine or sort of) or not work (as-is but must be salvageable). I do not resell most of the equipment that I buy unless it cannot be fixed or will just end up turning into clutter. This is my hobby, not my job. I am posting this ad to find gear at reasonable prices. I try to be an alternative to dealing with ebay, allowing you to avoid the hassle of rising selling fees, fraud, shipping costs, and selling limits. If you choose to message me, please leave a phone number along with an email.

I have made many purchases over the years from audiophiles like you with extra gear. I purchase only with cash and PayPal (if item is not local). To simplify things further, if you are not local, I can also pay for shipping directly by emailing you a UPS shipping label that you simply print, tape to a packed box and drop off at UPS. Being across the country should not be a deterrent to reaching out! I do look forward to dealing locally and have time on the weekends or evenings to pick up gear.

Beyond what is listed in the title, I am open to all kinds of brands and will also gladly purchase certain vintage gear or anything with tubes for that matter. Those classic brands include names like Marantz - Mcintosh - Fisher - Altec - Quad - Leak & etc.

I hope to hear from you, please be sure to include that phone number and/or email in your respond and I will reach out. I feel that many of my responses have gone unanswered due to spam folders!
