    I'm looking to sell my Theta TLC. It's an intriguing solution to jitter reduction and works particularly well with an optical digital input, as I've been using it for some time to improve the performance of my Meridian 263 dac from a sony cd player as transport.

    There are a few online references to this device, such as:

    http://www.arcticcorsair.f9.co.uk/audio/kit/theta-tlc.html

    and

    http://www.monarchyaudio.com/DIP4.htm

    This article from Hifi News highlights an 80% reduction jitter via optical and indicates further gains likely if the ground to the coax input and output are seperated.

    Also noticed one sold on American ebay just the other day:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=9725399002&fromMakeTrack=true

    Will pop on ebay, but before doing that wondered if anyone interested here first of all for £110 plus P&P at, I'd guess, £10.

    My power supply is different from the one shown on ebay which may have been for the US - mine is an original Theta one sold in UK.

    l am very interested.

    Can you include the optical cable as it seems the unit is of no benefit unless you seperate the earth. How much extra to ship to Australia?

    Cheers Simon

    Sorry, but I'd rather stick to UK for selling.
