Bargains on ebay? (Part 2)

[Marco]

Those Corellis suffer from some of the worst Bextrene 'quack' that I have ever heard - I had an immaculate pair years ago and had to get rid - there is NO WAY they have anything to do with LS3/5 a midrange - the midrange quack dictates they are a no no. If anyone else advises you otherwise, I suggest you run away - people who recommend these speakers are either a) living in the past b) have hearing problems c) living in a dream world or d) need their ears syringing.

Yet, more abrasive and confrontational behaviour (as per the warning I gave you on another thread). Ok, you're on a week's holiday!

Those Wharfdale woofers look good to me Geoff.

[walpurgis]

Those Wharfdale woofers look good to me Geoff.

They are not woofers Dennis, but full range dual cone with doped cloth surrounds. Rather nice.

Those would be the Wharfedale CS10/DD.

My first speakers used a Wharfedale RS8/DD - an 8" unit with mechanical crossover (the DD: dual diaphragm) and a (rubber) roll surround suspension. Built them into a Wharfedale design 1.2cu ft distributed rear port enclosure, back in 1969. Handed them over to my father when I bought my Quads (around 1974). They were working well up until the end of 2000, when I sold them after my father died. Hopefully the rubber roll surrounds have not perished, but I have no idea of their longevity; presumably longer than the foam surrounds that Wharfedale also used.

[spendorman]

Too late - I already got them (£12.50) and have just got a full set of caps (~£30). Let's hope either the speakers are actually good or if not hopefully I qualify on one or more of the afflictions you mention. :)

I have two pairs of Corellis, nice bass, good top, but to my ears there is a bit of Bextrene quack in the midrange, it is tamed much better than in the Chorale that uses almost identical units. The LS3/5a midrange is superior to both.

[anthonyTD]

Ahh, The Wharfedale super 8's these where the first speakers I remember hearing as a kid, my dad had one in the factory built cabinet, and one in a cab he built himself, [couldnt afford both ready built ones at the time] on the end of a little Heathkit 3 watt single ended amp [Which I still have a version of somewhere] that system always sounded good to me as a kid. :)

Yes, quite rare, especially as audiophiles had a tendency to buy them for the TD-124, often throwing the rest away! They did another version, which was supposedly the 'official' UK version, based around an Acoustical 3100 motor unit. I have one and it's rather good.

Oh I like that!

Is it an idler?

I do fancy picking up one of the early B&O machines, I have an SP1 cartridge (with, incredibly, a NOS stylus picked up in France in original packing) which sounds great, it's up there with the Shure M3D in my book as a great, beefy early stereo cartridge. I quite fancy one of the early small footprint B&O TTs for the study.

If your SP1 has the universal 1/2" fixing, you won't be able to use it in the B&O arm.

[montesquieu]

I know that, and the tip angle of the SP1 and SP2 (which doesn't have the mount, but fits the tonearm) is different to the later cartridges as well, but the aesthetic and indeed the performance has put me in the mood for one of the B&O turntables of the era.

[Shovel_Knight]

The Acoustical motor unit is not an idler, but a very interesting belt drive. Powerful Papst motor and very lightweight platter made of what looks like some cardboard/resin composite.

Agree about the elegant aesthetics of the B&O 3000 series. I have a B&O 1700 tuner (with the 'slide rule' cursors of the 3000 electronics) as well as an SP6 cartridge. The tuner is very good, but the cartridge is IMO out-classed by contemporaries such as the ADC 25 and 10E.

If you want a turntable to go with an SP2 cartridge, then you need a Beogram 42VF as this has the right arm to match its tracking angle.

Not necessarily, the SP1 is in use elsewhere but it does look interesting. Wasn't on my radar.

I should have bid on the DC1000 that the chap re-advertised: - it was getting to North/West Wales easily that held me back.

The original bidder won them at £50 (presuming that guy checked his map too late and wished he hadn't) and the second attempt the seller got over £60 for them.
I understand they are reasonably well regarded and for that money, quite a steal, if not up there with the likes of the Cheviots/Eatons.

Looks like a possible fun project. How would one go about obtaining other bits (mid and hf drivers, crossover and cab designs)?

[walpurgis]

Looks like a possible fun project. How would one go about obtaining other bits (mid and hf drivers, crossover and cab designs)?

You'd have to do some research, but the info is out there. Crossover calculators can be found online, like this: http://www.speakerwizard.co.uk/1st-and-2nd-order-crossover-calculator-and-response-simulator/

One possible candidate for a system using the Corals might be the SEAS H-087 unit with the 1.5 inch soft dome, as used in Dynaco and some Goodmans speakers. They are usually 4 ohm and crop up on ebay quite often. Like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Seas-H-087-1-Dome-Tweeter/302597404854?hash=item467435f8b6:g:mZoAAOSwQiFaVgV i

The Corals have quite an extended range for a biggish driver and the SEAS tweeter can be used from 2kHz upwards, so there's potential there. You'd need to check driver sensitivities, I have a feeling they'd be about the same. It doesn't matter if the tweeter has higher sensitivity than the bass driver, that can be compensated for.

And yes, you can use a 4 ohm tweeter with an 8 ohm bass driver.

At a guess, something like a ported forty to fifty litre cabinet may suit the Corals. That's about the size I used (half a lifetime ago).

[Pharos]

Some of these items make me realise just what an exciting period in audio history I/we have been fortunate enough to have grown up in.

Looking at those Falcons shows what an evolution we have been in, real endeavour by people who love the pursuit of good sound, and I am even a little enthused to do more myself.

Wish I could but way out of my league, and I wonder where it will end up £4k+ ?

A nostalgia trip. It's already in cloud cuckoo land territory at £2k. Have people really forgotten how unmusical this late 70s/early 80s solid state kit was? - pursuit of ever higher power and ever more vanishingly low distortion figures, all the while forgetting what it's all about.

I'll grant you it'll look cool on a shelf.

Nice little amp this. Review on TNT ...

Maybe it’s just me, but I would steer clear of any amp that uses electronic switches for inputs instead of relays or good old mechanical switches.

Had a Denon PMA-777 that was full of those things and they were noisy and unreliable.

Kef must have sold masses of these lovely speakers. This pair is in the 30k serial number range. Mine are much earlier - in the 3k serial number range.

Anyway watching. Why? Well why not. :cool:

Always interesting to see what other items a seller has. Seems very ambitious for his '"Now that is what I call music!" CDs. I remember dumping many of these in the skip that somehow my daughters' seem to have collected over the years. :doh:

[walpurgis]

Yes. I could have been tempted to have another pair myself, but I have some small Tannoys on the way. :)

I only want the drivers and crossovers from these. The plastic cabinets are for the skip.

Yes. You can have too many speakers. I have five sets already, including big ones (Tannoys :)).

They sold for £322.80, which is probably twice what they'd have fetched five years ago, so even the plastic coned 'pepperpots' are on the way up. Just as well maybe, they've been rather maligned, as they sound pretty decent.

Agreed, I had four pairs of DM2 / DM2a at one time.

I see you have the PMA-350SE in your signature now Dan.

Everybody should keep one of these, even if only as a back-up amp. 'Cos you can slot one into just about any system and it will sound remarkably good.

I've owned them and each time I get one driving my big Tannoys, it puts a grin on my face. A cheap Jap integrated has no business sounding that decent! :)

Could be that he doesn't have the din plugs for the speaker connection. I say this because I have a old itt turntable that requires din which I don't have to test to see whether it works out not

[walpurgis]

Maybe, but it was still a cock-up saying there were no speakers.

I'm on it....

Decca/Volt speakers going for a song so far. Located in Alfreton. The Decca London ribbon tweeters are worth a small fortune! And the 8" Volt drivers ain't too shabby either.

They are very similar, but use 8 inch drivers instead of the tens in the 23's.

got one of these too. never use it either

[Oddball]

Suprised it never sold. They were making good money a few yrs ago :)

[Barry]

They were very popular in the late '60s, early '70s. Seemed as though everyone had one (except me)!

Nor did I. Wasn't really into tape. Had a couple of Sony's come my way, but didn't keep them.

need to move mine on but for the little they make its not worth posting, due to weight and all the tapes i have. could do with some tlc too, but works ok.

I wasn't into tape then but did use friend's Akai 4000D and Tandberg 3000 machines. I thought the Tandberg was superior to the Akai.

A Ferrograph 632 two-track machine was acquired in the late '70s, which I did use to record off the radio, but when I discovered I could make equally good recordings on a Sony cassette machine more conveniently, the Ferrograph was 'retired'. I even got rid of a Revox G36 (bought from a work colleague for £25) and a Brenell tape deck, for which I was going to build my own electronics. Still have the Ferrograph but the idler wheels have perished and need replacing. I now use a Nagra IV-S to occasionally play back those tapes made on the Ferrrograph.

Lovely classic KEF compacts these. I have a pair.

[nonuffin]

For only £14.99 posted, these interconnects are amazing. Beautifully built and they have easily seen off a pair costing over £300. They manage to claw out fine details without being splashy or harsh, plus the bass is full bodied and the mids are tonally neutral that I personally like.

They "look " Good

They "look " Good

They certainly do, hence why I decided to have a punt. They look like locking plugs but they are not, even so they are still good quality.

They look like locking plugs but they are not, even so they are still good quality.I used a pair of edge branded plugs (silver locking kind) recently and theres no way they have QC. The centre pin was way off centre and they killed the soundstage. Poor quality. Not disputing your results BTW just adding some experience of their products. If you like them, stick with them.

Oh dear :(

I have built a cable or two myself and these are better than I could ever make for sure, so they are worth more than £15 to me.

I'm listening to Chris Issac at the moment and the sound is stunning, very open and musical. Noticing a big improvement in the soundstage as well, so the Ecosse cable will be homeless soon.
