I'd guess over 200 audio items, looks like 1970 through 2000. Pieces from Krell, Audio Research, Acurus, Sansui, Dahlquist, Dyna, Scott, Advent. Also tubes and testers.

These guys should be sponsoring AK Fest! Good luck!

So much stuff. 5 hour drive on a work day. Sad face.

There is a good possibility that I'd take a day off if the drive were reasonable. 2 hours is reasonable.

You never know. They said prices will start at $5, at least for many of the items, and that there are no expectations. This is, after all, and auction and not an estate sale.

About an hour and 15min for me but I really don't need more stuff.
Plus 15% buyers premium ???? Was always 10% the auctions I attended.:thumbsdn:

Only 30 miles away, but I have to go on a hay ride at my daughters school. Probably won't get done there until 12pm.

That Audio Research pre is a nice piece. SP-9 methinks ? Lots of nice stuff, some might go for reasonable prices, but I've spent 2 paychecks in the last week. Need to dial it back a bit.

I will not be going to this auction this year, its a long day standing around and is a killer on the feet, and mostly becuase I'm broke...

I went the past few years and came home with very little as I felt the prices were very high. Most of the very nice name brand/high end items sell at or near going ebay prices.

That being said, this is still a great auction if you want to pick up a project or two, but you will not likely have any scroes as the buyers are mostly very knowledgeable. I will say, that it is a great place to meet lots of like minded cool folks and some audio hustlers...

My two cents.

I'd love to get that PX3. I could also really use the 1009.

What the heck is the "M-1" (picture #280)?

I know what it is; it's BIG! Look at the size compared to the Thorens next to it in picture #281; it's gotta be 12" in diameter, and at least 14" long.

I am so glad that this sale is across the country from me. I think.

I had the same thought.

Those JBLs are sweet though. ND310 I think.

Wrong coast for me. Nice Hickok 539 there. The quantity of tubes is pretty impressive too. Hope a few AK'ers make it and find some 'scroes'. Dang.

Curious if anyone attended, and if the final selling prices were within reason...

A friend and I went over. I thought some of the final bids were not that high. They did have a box of tubes that went for $2000. An Akai GX636 that went for $450. Some higher end amps at $500- $1000. Marantz 2270 $130. Lots of lower end stuff went pretty cheap.
