Ayre Bauer DPS Turntable: Linn, Rega

Ayre version of the Bauer DPS turntable and DPS tonearm.  Ayre was the US importer for this German made turntable and designed and built a dedicated 3 phase power supply.  This table has received high praise from Stereophile and has been a recommended component.  No longer imported by Ayre and thus almost impossible to still buy in North America.

This is the tonearm Willi Bauer designed for the table.  Unique unipivot design.  I have also included a custom protractor from Mint for the DPS tonearm.  

The table is very easy to set up and no real ongoing maintenance.  The oil for the turntable bearing and the oil for the tonearm is supplied.  There are also new belts.  I have copied the various setup instructions and manual.  Overall the documentation is quite sparse.

This is shipped in 3 separate boxes.  One is the double box that the turntable was shipped from Germany - about 50 lbs.  The second is the original Ayre power supply and motor box - about 25 lbs.  The third will contain a custom box for the tonearm and oil and accessories - about 3 lbs.

I am only selling because I need to downsize my turntable collection.  The Dynavector cartridge shown in the photos is not included.
