DBX 3bx Series II. Original Rare Vintage!

Description: No introduction necessary, for sale is one of DBX's family of extremely sought after dynamic expanders, the 3bx series two in almost unused state since acquired during the Reagan administration. (photos 1-to-4) In immaculate and working state. Almost impossible to track down, yet it is extremely simple to use and very intuitive to navigate, it's a breeze to operate even for a novice analog enthusiast, no manual is necessary! The Numark and case are not included but may be purchased if interested. Also selling on another posting separately: 1. DBX 1bx digital series with impact restoration in new condition (photos 5-to-6, $799) 2. An equally rare find, cool looking, most coveted original analog vintage Audiocontrol Phase Couple Activator digital fundamental restoration system with subsonic filter in excellent working condition. (photos 7-to-11 $599) Almost impossible to track down, yet it is extremely simple to use and very intuitive to navigate, it's a breeze to operate even for a novice analog enthusiast, no manual is necessary! With proper implementation, interesting myriad of effect possibilities can be achieved only the Audio Control can deliver with natural result with myriad of configuration possibilities. Experiment and find out what it can do to your sound. One of the first original released back in the day that was raved amongst the very best audiophile people in the music industry for its unique, unparalleled dynamics this machine is capable of delivering. And perhaps still as relevant today in the culture of compressed ubiquitous ones & zeros. Prior to posting, inactive for some time, it recently underwent a barrage of necessary treatment, including but not limited to: opening the unit layer by layer and replenished all pertinent electronic components, controls to assure signal contact integrity. Moreover, vigorously buffed, detailed clean every crevice and every line with some retouching involved in the refurbishing process to arrive in this rejuvenated state. Bench tested and all functions work with flying colors. Given a good bill of health. This model has seized in production, highly desirable, very scarce and becoming a hard commodity. So grab it while it lasts. Like any vintage, some superficial imperfections due to age are almost always expected, but you'll be hard pressed to find one in this condition. 3. Audiocontrol The Octave graphic equalizer (photos 12-to-14, two available, $399 each). Fully refurbished. Shipping & handling may vary on location.t's simple to use and very intuitive to navigate, it's a breeze to operate even for a novice analog enthusiast, no manual is necessary!

For your consideration: For sale is a DBX 503 three-band dynamic range expander (photos 15-to-19, $799) One of the first original released back in the day that was raved amongst the very best audiophile people in the music industry for the unique, unparalleled dynamics this machine is capable of. And perhaps still as relevant today in the compressed culture of ubiquitous ones & zeros. The unit works wonderfully, however, only half (yellow-region) of the 3-LED display lights illuminate, the other half (red-region) is unresponsive to signal but does not affect normal functionality what-so-ever. I'm to inundated with other projects to explore the culprit, on that note, the item is being sold in "AS IS" described condition. 5. Last but not least, the highly desirable DBX 3bx series III with impact restoration (photos 20-to-25, $1699) Prior to posting, inactive for some time, it recently underwent a barrage of necessary treatment, including but not limited to: opening the unit layer by layer and replenished all pertinent electronic components, re-solder critical points to assure signal contact integrity. Moreover, the outer-shell has been freshly spray-painted, vigorously buffed, detailed clean every crevice & every line with some retouching involved in the refurbishing process to arrive in this rejuvenated state. Bench tested and all functions work with flying colors! Given a good bill-of-health. This model has seized in production, highly desirable, very scarce and becoming a hard commodity. So grab it while it lasts. Like any vintage, some superficial imperfections due to age are almost always expected, but you'll be hard pressed to find one in this condition. Shipping & handling may vary on location. Post Script:Ideal for serious incurable collector of all things analog, unique and in short supply with intent to build a showroom, I would consider to sell to the eligible buyer, a one in a life time find of some of the rarest extremely sought after cornucopia of Vintage, DJ, A/V and Pro gears in single Collection anywhere. Exceeding 3 decades of tracking down and literally thousands of man hours invested in refurbishing, restoring, repairing these amazing electronic wonders to accumulate such magnificent concentration of historical analog importance you've ever seen! Some are new, used and few are part of my on going passion in what I do. Nonetheless, all has given equal meticulous attention and care to arrive in the integrity they once were and will be hard pressed not to admire aesthetically. I baby all my gears more than anyone I know :-)) and pictures don't do justice but reflect what you see.There simply is too much to itemize at once as I continue to build up the inventory list and pertinent details of what's included in the sale, item condition that will be revised as it becomes available and selling price will be adjusted accordingly. Included but not limited to are Otari 5050 reel to reel, Fostex and other open decks. Over 30 amplifiers in the like of Crown D-75, D-150, Carver TFM-55, 35, SAE amps, QSC, Yamaha P2200, 2001.
