Consisting of:
Arcam Diva A85 amp. Bought new.
Arcam CD93 cd player. Ex- display.
Castle Conway3 floor standing speakers in rosewood veneer. Bought new.
Sound Organisaton Z5 equipment rack with five shelves, in silver. Bought new.
Qued speaker cables and interconnects.
What is special about this setup is that it has sat in an empty house all its life, played only on my brief trips home from overseas.
As a result, the amp and speakers are not even run in. The cd player being ex-display (£600 from Sevenoaks) is in very good condition. Everything else is immaculate.
The amp was one of the last available and was kept for 12 months in its box until I acquired the cd player. This was also kept in a box until I eventually bought the speakers, rack and cables.
This mid end equipment has seen very little use indeed and will therefore probably last a lifetime.
A new budget system would probably cost the same or more.
Pictures don't do it justice but are available here:
