FS/For Sale in Germany/EU: new price Panasonic VP-7723A Audio Analyzer with GPIB

[THDplusN_bad]

Good Day,

for sale is a Panasonic VP-7723A Audio Analyzer, up to 110 kHz.

• The unit is in a good state, with a few stains from other equipment's rubber feet on the top cover and a few cosmetic issues/scratches on the front. Nothing is bent or broken.
• Specified at better than -80 dB THD+N up to 110 kHz, and -100 dB THD+N 20 Hz to 15 kHz with 80 kHz bandwidth.
• The unit is beating its own specifications by far, which I have verified with an Audio Precision AP555 Audio Analyzer. Very good linearity and a typ. performance of the oscillator of >110 dB THD+N.
• I am including some performance figures as measured below. I am happy to provide screenshots taken from the AP555 measurements and pictures of the unit per email upon request.
• This unit has a GPIB-interface, the wow and flutter option and option 20. When used with a GPIB-adapter and some programming, one can turn this into a "poor-man's Audio Precision". I am happy to provide some screenshots taken from my LabView program to illustrate this. If sold to a fellow enthusiast here, I will provide the LabView code for free.
• Specifications are available here, see last page: http://www.testequipmenthq.com/datasheets/PANASONIC-VP-7723A-Datasheet.pdf

updated price - I am asking 750€ 650€ or best offer and would prefer local pick-up in Germany, Munich, Stuttgart or Nürnberg. I can ship the item within Europe, but would need to source a card box etc. for proper packaging.

Thanks,

Good Day,

Updated price to 650€ - c'mon, chaps, I need the bench space and so let's do this!

There is a similar unit for sale from a dealer on ebay for 1,240€... see eBay auction: #293134971230 - just to put this into perspective.

Cheers,

THD+N-bad
