Hello from North London

[Spectral Morn]

Welcome to AoS

Wrong!

Oh I'm glad I'm wrong. Nice to have all parts of the lovely London covered now. Best city in the world.

I was reading the kit in your signature - my head is spinning now.

Where do you keep all that audio porn? You must have a massive mansion in West London to house it.

I'm just a poor North London boy.

No. It's all in my little 11 foot by 12 foot 'den'.

Hi Edward

My amplifiers include a 405-2 and a Radford STA25 III, had the Radford more than 40 years, the 405-2 was a 405 that I bought around 1976 when they first came out. About 1987 I converted it to a -2 with the Quad conversion kit.

Any pics of your Radford?

Oh my. 40 years. Really glad to hear that. Testament to Arthur's solid construction. Have you ever had it serviced?

Will upload pictures of my bits and pieces later on (and probably in the correct sub-forum) but essentially what mine looks like is the following.

Mine is Radford Revival reissue which has proved to be awesome. I previously had an original STA25 but it was knackered (abused by a Hawkwind member) so the kind Will Moores at RR did me a new one a couple of years ago.

What speakers are you driving? spendors?

My STA25 was not new when I bought it, but was in very good condition. It still is, in fact does not look much different to the one that you linked to. It has never been serviced whilst I have had it, all components seem to be in good condition.

Hawkwind eh! There was one on ebay not so long ago that was owned by Eric Clapton.

Speakers in use at the moment are not far from Spendors, Rogers Monitor LS3/6, although of course I have Spendors (BC1, BC2 and Preludes), and many other speakers including JR 149's, Quad ESL57's 63's, Tannoy HPD315's, Chartwell LS3/5a, B&W DM1, DM2, DM3, DM5, Tangent RS2, RS4, KEF Corelli, KEF Coda (original) Videton Minimax, homemade LS3/5a clones, JPW AP2, AP3's, Gold Monitors, and a few other too.

Hi Edward,

Nice to see you on the forum!

Rest assured I have not forgotten the odds and ends I need to do for you

[Barry]

Welcome to AoS Edward,

Yes, some nice gear you have there.

Enjoy the Forum
Barry (who also has a Radford valve amp, and an embarassing amount of Quad gear)

Eric Clapton's Radford STA25 III, shame the pics are no longer there.
