Tell me about it.....

I have listened to many speakers over the years but I still come back to my Cheviots which I have had from new (although re-coned by Lockwood some 18 years ago and new cone outer seal again this year...

Thanks

Nice looking, where does the enclosure come from?

Interesting, in my room they go very low (audiable on my hearing down to 15hz) but then a room will make a lot of difference. Mine are considered by many listeners as being very clear perhaps a a...

Why are you standing the Tannoys on those boxes? My Cheviots will shake the concrete floor without a sub just by standing them straight on the floor.

Coming somewhat late to this discussion I have to say that my experience of the Lenco arm is also not good even with wiring and V blocks sorted. I did find that the headshell of the GL78 slighly...

1.2Kw hell I can render myself deaf with 110w but then I have very efficient speakers compared with yours and I don't need a sub as my old Tannoy's go down to at least the limit of my hearing.

Slip of the keyboard there....

The books are more stable than they may look otherwise they would have been moved years ago but the shelf is quite deep and they are wedged tight.

I'll publish some drawings of the amp and preamp...

And the remaining stuff I have which gets used for music transfer for other people as well as myself:

The Goldring Lenco plinth may look stock but inside it certainly isn't as I have...

Had a belt from the 600v amp between the smoothing caps and that hurt so I don't want to do it again at my tender age thank you:lol:

Ah I am at this moment playing with a KT88 design Partly mine and partly copied with 550v on the anode and previously have built a KT88 (well actually 6550A's but it's close enough) with 600v on the...

Well I've had a Shure M75Ed and 3 V15III's as well as an M97xE. I've also got 2 A&R E77's. I have heard many cartridges over the years but the only cartridge I've ever come back to is the V15III and...

With Luck I may make it on the sunday.

Many years ago I had a Linn LP12 with the Grace 707 arm and my still extant Shure V15III, I thought it sounded pretty good until I cobbled together a Collaro 4T200 motor, Platter and bearing on a...

Thanks also to mr sneff and Andrei.

Don't worry about drifting off topic, I subscribe to another forum for another hobby and that drifts all the time.

Thank you Geoff and Neil,

I retire in 10 weeks! I think that tinkering is my middle name and will try my hand at anything but love vintage kit repair. Photos I will do in a day or two of what is...

Hello,

My real name is Graham Floyd, I live in darkest East Northamptonshire and I have been interested in Hi Fi since I was at school way back in the late 1960's. Back then I was also interested...
