    No. This is not a sales offer. Lee wants to confirm the identity of these items and get an idea of values. He can't list these in Private Exhibtions until he has that info.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Thank you. Yes, mainly trying to get an idea of what the items are worth initially. I get the impression Molly is keen to get thing moving as soon as possible but obviously it's important to make sure she's getting a fair price, not a fire sale. For items that are easily valued (e.g. the branded speaker cables) then fair offers can go straight to Molly from here. The more valuable items I will re-list individually with detailed photos once I've got more info.

    Good on you Lee for helping out.

    The valve Dac I'm very familiar with, Ali Tait having brought it over to my place several times and I've heard it at his.
    Superb bit of kit, deserves to sell.

    I'm interested in the EWA speaker cable personally Lee, if the right length for my needs (at least 2.2 ish metres long) I'll buy them.

    Private Message sent.


    thanks
    Gary.

    The mid divers in the OB speakers look like Saba Greencones. They could well be a Troels design?

    I did suggest to Molly I called at her time to take photos, but she is I suspect still in pain, God Bless you both.

    And Lee is a much closer friend so Lee send photo's on please.

    Best Col

    Colin,

    Your input into the various bits you have designed/manufactured would be good.
    The SECA amp is one item that interests me, but I have no idea on what a fair value would be.
    Could you give Lee some pointers (if you have not already)?

    It is good to see this being done properly. It is a sad thing to have to do.

    Thanks for all the responses. Colin, I'll send the more detailed photos on to you.

    Molly measured the speaker cables for me today, one pair of LS-XXVs are 5.2m, one pair of LS-V 5m.
