It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Wonder if it's anyone we know.If you've got nearly £10K of loose change... good chance to box swap to your hearts content

Not sure I see a realistic ten grands worth there. Not to sell on at a useful mark up.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Agree there Geoff... having had a closer look at the list, £10k is highly optimistic...

Thirty five years ago, I bought a virtually identical cabinet via a local noticeboard. The contents were a white Garrard 301 with SME 3009 and Shure V15, Leak Troughline tuner, Point One preamp and Stereo 20 power amp, all in mint condition. At the time, what is now regarded as 'classic' gear was just thought of as old hat. The whole lot cost me £25! (£25 back then was a fair amount, but it was still a bargain)Now this is far more interesting, and well priced.

Me too, about the same time, bought from a second hand shop in Edgware near the junction of Station road and the Edgware Road. Same cabinet, but containing 2 x Quad II power amps, Quad 22, Quad FM1 and stereo decoder. I can't remember what the turntable was, don't think it was anything special. Whole lot was also £25.
