Although the receiver delivers 140wpc in stereo, I thought I could use a little more and so took advantage of the bridge mode.

Thanks for the replies...I've dug around and found a couple of 12v fans, or from a old PC psu and one from God knows.
To keep noise down both are currently running on 6v wallwarts..
I have them...

Working for repair/calibration firm in the 90s, I once PAT tested a VERY expensive Hewlett Packard all singing, all dancing touch screen scope.
No instructions not to PAT were passed on by the cal...

Those are Sony SS176.
The tweeter in particular is rather good.
I recently modded a 4 way transmission line kit speaker built in the early 70s. The T27 and Coles 4001 were swapped out for the...

Beavering away today I've sorted the xovers and dropped in some tweeters for a test play.
Bloody hell they go low, but the top end is well, soft. They currently seem shut in with no real treble...

I recently acquired a pair of speakers based on a kit design I think from Rogers.
The driver layout mimics Cambribge R50s, i.e. B139, B110, T27 and Coles 4001.
Although the cabs are in good shape...

Is your WiFi modem positioned anywhere near your amps perchance?
Tubes are remarkably sensitive to WiFi emmisions.....a tube preamp I ran recently was placed near my modem and picked up all sorts of...

If your TV box has a digital output, Virgin has optical...Sky both optical and coaxial, you can purchase a DAC from Amazon for less than 30 quid which will give a much improved sound quality.

That controller in pic one looks like the wireless volume for that French digital super amp....Devialet.

Thanks for the thread thumbs up....when I first posted I imagined (drunkenly)...

I recently aquired a pair of Leak cabs from a friends garage.
They are unmatched very early 2way types with the 12" bass and cone tweeter.
Sadly, a visual inspection gives me the impression the...

Expected to see a box...a musical box.

All wound up and ready to play

I had a pair of Dovedales looking much the same as these.
Same tweeter and mid, with the same switch arrangement on the rear.

The box contains a disclaimer, it says...
Vinyl....as bad today as it always was.

I owned a pair of NS 500 from yamaha a few years ago.
Almost the same berillium tweeter as the 1000, coupled to a light, paper coned 10" bass unit.

Although housed in a very heavy, well built and...

"Foaming at the mouth".....this thread is nothing without pictures.

I quite like his taste in screensavers.

I'm guessing the plsstic is acting as reinforcement as the top plate would be weakened with that much slottage....

I just made "slottage" up.......sounds dirty.

Given PL12D's etc are now upwards of 120 quid this wss a steal.

I note in the info posted in post 8 the replacement of a diamond Flipover stylus.
This screams ceramic cartridge, not a more modern MM type.
If this is the case i fear any expensive...

Not seen the show for years but i think it was Leak/Sugden amp and tuner...

This is the shit that keeps...

Brand new Nagaoka cart...set up in tonearm, only one side of an LP played to check...

I had a Yamaha CR1020 reciever dating from the mid 70s a few years back.
When i bought it all the lamps were out but apart from noisy pots everything worked fine...including the signal/power meters....
