Technics SP-10mk3 heavily modified with the most sought-after upgrades.
About the Technics SP-10 MK3: Known as the “end game’ turntable and greatest of all time. Released in Japan in 1982, is a highly-regarded “Golden Era” turntable with a reputation for quality. A salient feature of this turntable is the massive 10 kg platter, with an inertia moment of 1.1 tons/cm ^ 2. This turntable made its way into many professional settings which demanded the highest possible quality of turntable. The SP-10 MK3 achieved a phenomenal reputation. The SP-10 MK3’s exceptional sound and build quality is commonly expressed by critics as outstanding.
These H20 M250S monoblock amplifiers have power, grip, extension, fast transients, inner/low level detail, and will simply surprise you by comparing their size to power ratio. Please note that this is not the Signature model distinguished by their large transformers. This amp is versatile with balanced and un-balanced inputs. One of the Ice modules have been replaced and each amp has six large capacitors installed in parallel to keep the footprint low. During our testing, we were impressed by how the sound, free from harmonic distortions and quick punchy bass. We weren’t able to confirm any specifications about these amps other than the ICE Power modules which are 250W @ 4 ohms.

This legendary solid-state amplifier needs very little introduction. What makes this amplifier unique is that this is Bill Thalmann’s personal amplifier used to drive his set of Apogee Caliper Signature ribbon speakers. Bill also performed several modifications to make the vocals sound more soft and rounded. The amplifier sounds amazing and is a go-to for audiophiles due to the round, full bass, great liquidity through the midrange, and silky highs. This classic is rated 240 watts per channel with an amazing ability to deliver one-third more current into low-impedance loads (400 wpc into 4ohms). The amplifier was well maintained by Bill with some slight modifications to make it sound even better than the original.
SPECIFICATIONS:
Power: 240 watts per channel RMS, both channels driven into 8 ohms from 20Hz to 20KHz at no more than 1% total harmonic distortion or intermodulation distortion.
Sensitivity: 2.0 V to rated power.
Phase: Phase correct (non-inverting).
Frequency response: 20Hz to 20KHz +0, -.25dB
Hum and noise: 98dB below full power output.
Input impedance: 100K ohms.
Dimensions: MF2300 16.875D x 19W x 6.75H inches
Weight: MF2300 57 lbs.
The MF2300 uses all polystyrene capacitors in the audio circuit, machined gold-plated OFC input connectors, and premium-quality machined output binding posts. After two years, the MF2300 was improved by the use of Vishay resistors at critical points in the circuit, extending the open-loop frequency response of the circuit, and upgrading capacitors in the input amplifier power supplies.

This is for a commercial amplifier highly modified by Bill Thalmann. Bill selected this model due to the Fet-2000’s low noise, low distortion design. The sound is now very pure and sweet. This M model has LED ladder metering, fun to watch. The amount of power this amp can provide is amazing. Part of Bill’s mods were removing the level adjustments adding high-quality RCA inputs, IEC power, and speaker binding posts that can accept banana connectors. The fans were also replaced and make little to no noise. To get this type of performance and power you would typically spend between $3k-$4k which is why we have placed this amplifier under $1k for those interested in owning a personal project done by the legendary Bill Thalmann of Music Technology or simply want Hi-Fi performance on a budget. This amp accepts either balanced XLR and un-balanced RCA inputs and can be ran as bridged or stereo. A second modified amp is also available for those interested in a bi-amp setup.
-Amp Stereo ratings: 675 wpc @ 2 ohms, 500wpc @ 4 ohms, 300wpc @ 8 ohms.
-Mono bridged: 1350 watts RMS @ 4 ohms, 1000 watts RMS @ 8 ohms.

Shipping is available at the purchaser’s expense. This amp is part of a collection of HiFi audio equipment which belonged to Bill Thalmann on behalf of his wife Michelle. Sales are preferred to be conducted locally (Northern Virginia). We will coordinate to meet at a nearby police station since the Music Technology storefront is closed. We are happy to demo any of the equipment for sale at the time of pick-up.
After 13 years the DAC1 still outperforms most 2-channel D/A converters, and it still has a legitimate place in top recording studios. The DAC1 is far from obsolete, and most DAC1 converters are still in use today.
The DAC1 is a reference-quality, 2-channel 192-kHz 24-bit audio digital-to-analog converter featuring Benchmark’s UltraLock™ technology. The DAC1 is designed for maximum transparency and is well suited for critical playback in studio control rooms and in mastering rooms. The rear panel houses the main connections, including the unbalanced phono jacks and the balanced XLR analogue outs. Trim pots for the Left and Right output channels are located between the phonos and XLRs. On the right-hand side are the digital inputs in co-axial, optical, and XLR (AES-EBU) formats. The final connector on the right is the IEC to the switchable internal power supply

This is a 64 key Wurlitzer piano in great stable condition with all working keys from Bill Thalmann’s personal collection including the stand and foot pedal.
About: The Wurlitzer electronic piano is an electric piano manufactured 1954 to 1983. Sound is made by striking a metal reed with a hammer, which induces an electric current in a pickup.
History: The Wulitzer was invented by Benjamin Miessner manufactured in 1954, and production continued until 1983. Originally, the piano was designed to be used in the classroom then was adapted for more conventional live performances, including stage models with attachable legs and console models with built-in frames. The stage version was used by popular artists, including Ray Charles, Joe Zawinul and Supertramp.
John Iverson Electron Kinetics Eagle 2 Power Amplifier in excellent condition with large capacitors replaced by Bill Thalmann. This is known as one of the most accurate, stable and reliable amplifiers ever designed. This amplifier sounds amazing and is very hard to find in this condition. Very sweet sounding amp with great resolution and dynamics. Please be aware that the power button light was removed because it was going into a movie room and the bright ‘on’ light was a distracion.
This specific Z300/301 was owned and maintained by Bill Thalmann, in a stereo bridge set up to drive three speakers, left, right, and center channel. As an audiophile, he enjoyed its slim profile, quiet, clean accurate reproduction, and huge but slim old-school toroidal transformers.
This specific Z300/301 was owned by Bill Thalmann, and bridged to drive a stereo speaker set up with center channel. As an audiophile, he enjoyed its slim profile, quiet, clean accurate reproduction, and huge but slim old-school toroidal transformers.
This Elan Z300/301 distribution power amplifier is in perfect operating and physical condition. This amp features a 2-channel stereo input that powers three sets of speaker outputs, each driven by their own separate internal power amplifiers, generating 60 watts per channel at 8 ohms (and as much as 150 wpc to 2-ohm loads). This is ideal for installations where you want to power multiple speakers in the home from the same source, such as with ceiling-mounted speakers in multiple rooms. The removable front panel reveals gain adjustment dials, so you can adjust volume across the outputs/zones in your living space.
The build quality and parts selection is very good with gold-plated speaker terminals, and LM3886 output devices. The main filter capacitors are 10,000uF/50V Nippon Chemicon, and the other capacitors are either Nichicon or Panasonic. Made in the USA, with quality components.

Price reduced from $2,995. This is an ORIGINAL 1960’s vintage B-15-N amplifier made by Ampeg and owned by Bill Thalmann. This bass tube amplifier is equipped with the optional 15″ Altec speaker. This system is built for road use. The flip-top amplifier can be removed and stored within the speaker enclosure and the bottom wheel base set can be easily removed with no tools. We ran a full test on this unit and it performs great. The B-15-N has been instrumental in everything from Motown cuts with James Jamerson to Donald “Duck” Dunn. This all-tube power machine has plenty of character. These amplifiers from 1961-1962 are extremely rare, and you can tell them apart from any other B-15 because of the combination of navy random flair tolex and a lucite light-up logo. The cabinet is sturdy and in great condition with no broken parts. This Ampeg B-15-N bass amplifier could easily become your go-to bass amp.
