Demo / Used Equipment

We have used and demo equipment that is just as good as "new" in many cases. Save some cash!

 

DEMO means that the product has been used as display, demonstrator or reviewer use. These products will carry the same warranty and customer service, where applicable, as factory fresh products. Some products may carry a one or two year warranty. Demos are current or legacy product, but they are always updated to the latest circuitry.

 

USED means that the product has been previously owned by a party other than Musical Concepts or Musical Design

 

BLEMISHED (B stock) means absolutely new, but with minor cosmetic defects unless otherwise described. Same as new warranty!

 

CONSIGNMENT means used and being sold for a 'client' - guaranteed to work upon receipt at your end - typically there is no warranty unless it is expressly offered. This is "as is" purchase.

 

SPECIAL means we have acquired and built these units and they enjoy a full one year parts and labor warranty. They are new or have been used as a loaner.

 

Our policy: Vacuum tubes in DEMO, USED or SPECIAL equipment will have a 30-day warranty. These prices are set, in our opinion, very fairly with the assumption that a given item will not be returned for refund. There is a 15-day return period granted except for specific items. If you decide to request a refund there is no refund of shipping charges. If an item is returned damaged or damaged due to poor shipping carton we reserve the right to return the item or come to a settlement with the buyer. CONSIGNMENT items have a seven day return policy, i.e. said item must be posted back to us within seven days of your receiving the item.  

 

Links and pictures are added as available.

SPECIAL PRODUCTS

 

NEW ITEMS>>> Sorry we ran out of these for now but we intend to get some more in soon. Let us custom build you a great Hafler DH-500. We have purchased three stock Hafler DH-500 amps to offer in modified form(one gone already- now two). One of them is the original brown color(below) and one has the later black/red lettering look(sold). They were both factory built and appear to have very little use judging by the cleanliness of the interiors. If you are looking for a way above average DH-500 you can custom order the mods you want. Let us know your requirements and we can quote a price and delivery for you. We will slowly build them up for sale with various mods so if you do want one in a custom form make your decision soon. NEWS>>>>> One of these was completed with our PA-3E Signature mod, dual PS-200 boards totaling 96,000uF capacitance, Cardas Copper binding posts, IEC power connector/cord, etc. See it below! 

 

Okay the second one is gone now with PA-3E Signature boards, our twin TP-500 toroid transformers, dual PS-200J power supply boards(8 Jensen caps), nice connectors and so on.

 

I've got to tell you about the third one! Platinum Elite Mod with dual Jensen PS-200 boards, twin toroids, the rest of the bells and whistles - just stunningly great sound!!!

 

 

HERE'S ONE SWEET DH-500 MOD!

 

 

 

Those eight black filter caps are a specially ordered part with 12,000uF/100V value each. There is a total of 96,000uF of capacitance or 48,000uF per channel or 24,000uF per individual voltage rail. Perhaps you can see the Hyper-Fred bridge rectifier between the pairs of caps which yields a plus and minus voltage for each of our Musical Concepts PS-200 boards. In this amp we've used the original power transformer though we could install a twin toroid set-up for truly full dual-mono operation. We have provided an IEC power cord socket and heavy power cord not to mention Cardas Copper binding posts. The Teflon insulated, gold-plated RCA jacks are standard with our PA-3E series boards. What you can't see clearly is that the amp uses our PA-3E Signature driver boards. 

 

This total package sells for $1495 including the Hafler DH-500 amp. It's something of a bargain really when you fire up your calculator or, better yet, hear the amp.                --------------------------SOLD---------------------------------             Okay, that was a quick sale! A local music lover borrowed the amp to drive the bass panels of his Maggie 3As. He returned with money instead of the amp. He will replace his 300 Watt mono tube amps, yeah those well known ones, with the amp above. Yes that first one is gone, but the good news is that we can make another one just for you.

USED PRODUCTS

 

Musical Design D-75 (used) - $495 and can be updated to D-75C or even Musical Design T-75   —–––––––-SOLD!!!!—–––––––-

 

 

—-------------------------------------------

 

Dyna PAS-3X tubed preamp with modifications............ including significant revisions featuring a constant-current grounded-cathode 12AU7 line stage and passive RIAA EQ in the 12AX7 equipped phono stage. High quality tubes are included. This is a very different preamp compared to the original unit. The high current line stage has a very low output impedance, wide dynamic range and solid, clear sound. There is an upgraded volume pot for superior smoothness and clarity. A new power transformer supplies the higher required current and the vastly enlarged power supply yields a robust, clean sound quality. Good condition. Your fun times for $595 which will seem a bargain when you check the innards! Now reduced to $495!  90 day warranty  ------------------------This one has been sold but expect a new one here soon.
