OK some bits for sale thanks to an abandoned project .... offered here first for a day or so before I take them anywhere else for now ...
Thorens TD124 plinth, solid cherrywood, beautiful, bought on this forum (see here), no longer needed as my original plinth is back up and running, blowout price of £150, plus £10 postage.
TWO Lenco GL75/78 (solid heavy type) headshells complete with wiring (all tags working fine), plus a COMPLETE GL75/78 arm, recently had the v-blocks done. This includes both arm weights (rear and side), the clip on spiral bias weight guide, and the bias weight itself, was working lovely when removed from a GL78 recently. £65 plus £6 postage.
Nagaoka MP10 moving magnet stereo cartridge (4mv), mint conditon (very little used, was NOS), £30 plus postage (£5 to UK).
Audioquest 3m biwire speaker cable, £65 plus postage (£8 to UK as it's pretty heavy). This is a seriously nice cable and very highly rated, looking to get back what I paid when bought here: http://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?24212-Audioquest-Type-4-Speaker-Cables-3m-Bi-wire&highlight=audioquest
Denon DA-305 tonearm, perfect for Denon DL103 cartridges and others at the medium to low-compliance end of things, very flexible in terms of the weights it can accept (there are two settings on the counterweight, both adjustable full range), small footprint so easy to fit on a plinth. Spindle to arm distance 230mm so the same as very many Japanese arms. Nice condition with lovely bearings etc. Cost me £150 in Japan, plus shipping, VAT and customs clearance (about £230 all in!), just looking for the £150 back, plus £8 special delivery postage in UK.
600:600 ohm isolation transformer, this uses two very high quality Japanese UTC-A20 clones as the transformers, I used it to cure hum between components and preamp, and between pre and power. Essentially a homebrew version of the fabled Marantz DLT-1. This was boxed up for me into a nice phono step-up type enclosure by John Caswell. Box alone is worth £40 and the transformers were $80 each from Japan, but it's rather a specialised bit of kit and now I have everything running silently, I don't need it. so how about £75 plus £5 shipping in UK.
All payment via paypal gift.
