Wanted: As-is and Working Audio (Los Angeles) Audio Research Mcintosh Sonic Frontiers VTL VAC Accuphase Threshold BAT Krell Modern and Vintage

I'm Chris and I currently live in the Los Angeles/Orange County area of California. I am primarily looking to purchase high-end modern or vintage audio equipment that may either work or not work (as-is but must be repairable). I am absolutely a collector, I do not resell most equipment that I buy. I am posting this ad to find gear at good prices (have no interest in paying ebay prices inflated by international buyers). If you don't want to deal with shipping, selling fees, repair costs, and lugging around heavy gear back and forth, I'm your guy.

Over the years I have bought many items from people and have always been reliable and punctual in purchasing. I deal only in cash and paypal (if item is not local). I can also pay for shipping directly by emailing you a shipping label that you simply tape to a packed box and drop off at UPS. I try to make things as simple and easy as possible. I will give your gear a great home and get equipment working that would probably have sat around unused. The brands in the title are just some of what I am looking for. I am willing to work with just about anything from vintage tube amplifiers from Mcintosh , Fisher , Marantz , Harman Kardon , Altec , Western Electric , Lafayette , and Audio Research to solid state amplifiers from those companies that remain. Also interested in pre-amplifiers , turntables , and transports. Even if you are across the country, I will work with you to get the gear here, even if I have to fly to come pack it up myself! But, I do prefer to deal locally, though I do not mind traveling a few hundred miles for a piece or collection I feel is the worth the time and expense.

I will also buy matching speakers if you are somewhat local, so please feel free to contact me with what you've got and we'll go from there.

I prefer email with a number to call you back at, but call if you like.
