I got so many brownie points from my wife when I sold the last pile of
stuff, she didn't even mind when I went out and spent twice as much on
new equipment!  I think I'm going to try it a second time:


Belden Snake Cable:

Every time I think I've sold all of this wire, some more crawls out of
the pile in my attic.  I think it may be mating.  Anyway, it's Belden 87XX
series, which is individually foil sheilded pairs of 22AWG, with drain
wire, with an overall grey PVC jacket.  Just the stuff for audio or
lighting snakes, studio wiring, or remote sensing projects!

I seem to have (all unused, some still on factory spools):

approx 300' of 8775 (11-pair)  $0.80/ft
Various 100' or so sections of 8776 (15-pair) $0.90/ft
65' of 8769 (19-pair)  $1.00/ft

These prices are 1/2 to 1/3 of what  I've seen the same cable going
for in stores, and do not include shipping.  Try Full Compass Systems
for a price comparison -- they sell Belden.


I also have a mile (literally) of overall-shielded Belden cable,
suitable for lighting control runs, wierdo speaker cabling, telephone
installations, gang weaponry, etc.  Some if it was terminated with
various TelCo type connectors that may be of interest to someone.
This is of no value to me, and I'll sell it for small money ($0.10/ft)
to anyone who will take large heaps of it off me at a time.  Most of
it seems to be 30+ 22 gauge conductors... get in touch for details.


Rane AC22 (2-way) OR AC23 (3-way) electronic crossovers.

These are mint, about a year old, have all packaging and
documentation, and are absolutely great crossovers.  Studio use only,
never roaded.  24dB/Octave slopes, balanced/unbalanced i/o, and, most
useful, *continuously adjustable phase control*.  This last feature
is, IMHO, absolutely mandatory for getting a good blend between
drivers.  The AC22 can be used as a stereo 2-way, or mono 3-way -- the
thing figures out what you're trying to do based on how many
inputs/outputs are connected.  The AC23 can be used as a stereo 2 or
3-way, or as a mono 4- or 5-way.  I love these units, and will only
sell one or the other.  The AC22 lists for $350, Full compass wants
$289,  I'll take $210.  The AC23 is about $50 more, get in touch, and
we'll talk.


Biamp SM23 crossover.  Fair cosmetics, works fine.  12dB slopes, balanced
and unbalanced i/o.  $60

I also have more Crown DC300's than I currently need.  These are old,
but not trashed (not mint, either ;-).  150w/ch into 8, 300W/ch into
4, 600W/ch into 2 (but use some fans!).  I'm selling two, $325 each.


By the way, I'll consider trades for some of the equipment.  I'm currently
looking for a really good 1-space 40-watt (or so) amp, a good headphone
distribution amp, a Makie 1604, and a good+ portable DAT (ie Denon DTR80P,
Teac's new thingie, SV255, etc).

call me at (617)981-3691 (days), (603)778-0430 (eves), or email

Thanks,

Tony
