P R E - O W N E D

We provide any remaining manufacturer's warranty if applicable. In addition, aside from any shipping damage in transit to you, we will guarantee the proper functioning of the equipment for 7 days from the day of receipt. Should there be any shipping damage in transit to you that would of course be covered by the shipping insurance. Having said that, shipping damage is a rare event as we are almost always using full original manufacturer's boxes and packing. Note that used equipment listings change frequently and some items sell very quickly, so please contact us for the latest status to ensure that the item you are seeking is still available. Obviously there is only one of each listing so first come, first served!
Equipment listed is either:
  • DEMO (D) equipment (usually full manufacturer warranty, usually like new, except for any minor cosmetic blemishes)
  • USED (U) equipment (often a good bargain if you don't need the very latest model),
  • CONSIGNMENT (C) equipment (we are selling for the owner)
  • NEW (N) equipment (full manufacturer warranty, unit was never sold, usually sealed but occasionally may have an open carton)

  • 1/10: Shot - For parts use only
Note: As we have been a Spectral dealer since 1984, we tend to get in used Spectral components on a semi-regular basis. The reason is that they are usually being sold on consignment as they are being replaced by current generation components--or they are being traded-in on current generation Spectral components. Also some used equipment doesn't even get listed as it is spoken for before it even comes in. So if you are looking for a used Spectral component please give us a call and let us know--and we can call or email you when we find what you are looking for.
NOTE: If using PayPal, buyer pays fee. If international, PayPal or wire transfer only.

Professional Audio Equipment
Pacific Microsonics Model Two A-D/D-A converter N | Ex | Sell: $45,000 Note: This is a brand new unit still sealed in the box. It was cherry picked from the last batch of Model Two's that were manufactured. In case you don't know, the later Model Two's were sonically superior to the earlier units. In addition the later units were more reliable due to a total of ten technical upgrades that were implemented during the final manufacturing and testing process. By cherry picked what is meant is that this particular unit was hand selected to have the very best signal to noise specs, etc. If you are interested please either email or call Alan Goodwin directly at 781-893-9000 ext. 14. Pacific Microsonics Model Two A-D/D-A converter | C | Ex | $25,000 We have a client who is interested in selling his Model Two on consignment.
