Hitachi SS-58X omni-directional speakers, one has a mark on the top but in general they are OK, these give a spacious 3D sound and cope with awkward spaces. £40 collected.

Pair of Tannoy 4-pin plugs for Monitor series speakers (Golds etc), wired up to some decent quality OFC speaker cable (just under 1m). £25 posted.

Extremely high quality passive preamp, 23 position stepped attenuator (not sure which brand maybe someone can identify), this is solid anodised aluminium frame lined with copper, with walnut cheeks. 4 inputs, 2 outputs and an earthing post. Acquired with my Radford amp. £150.

Clearaudio Alignment Protractor, this has two functions, first the mounting of the arm in the correct place, second (that done) it enables proper cartridge alignment for overhang and offset. £100 posted.

I'm also considering breaking up my study system - Dual 1019, Quad 33/303, Denon all in one FM/DAB/CD jobbie that has an amp but also an analogue out (which I've been using into the Quad), and a pair of JPW P1s - fun as it is its I'm just not using it in there. But I'll list these as and when.
