I am selling the vast majority of my system to fund replacing our boiler and other important bills.

Speakers - Bastanis Wildhorn diy kit - built as specified by Robert Bastanis, well run in and well received at many bakeoffs, Scalford 2015 and in the TNT review of the show. 25mm sides and back with 30mm front, much better Gemini dipole tweeter and the Bastanis Magic Twins for speakers (some type of filter but a freebie for some translation and redrawing I did for Robert), kit cost is 2000 Euros plus ply, this equates to around £1600 plus ply and time. They are not the best finished but are well put together and solid. Price is £1400 collected and I'm happy to demo.

Turntable - Garrard 401 - refinished in gloss black and works perfectly, no plinth at the moment but I may be able to arrange one. £300 as a bare unit. Reserved

Tonearm - Transfi Terminator T3pro - includes 4 wands (2 new and 2 old design) and 2 pumps. Price is £500 - on hold for former owner.

Cartridge - AT OC9ml/ii - best of the standard OC9's to my ears, about 400 hours on it and sounding sweet, only used in the T3pro. £150 plus P&P.

Phono stage - Salas Simple Folded phono stage (diyaudio) - full of good capacitors and resistors, 2 box adjustable phono stage (loading by dipswitch), gain is 62db (can be changed but involves fairly major rebuild), it cost around £400 to build but sounds way above that level and a demo is essential, bring your own phono to try it against. £400.

I'll post photos when I get home from work and won't sell a part that stops me demoing the expensive bits until they're gone (cartridge, Garrard will stay to the end).

On hold whilst other avenues are explored for raising funds

If the Terminator is held for me, Des, it's a yes mate. Though I'd rather you didn't sell it all.;)

It is Rick, we're currently looking at how else to sort the boiler, Mrs P wants the hifi to be the last thing I sell so I'll look at other stuff first and maybe put off windows for a few months and do the boiler first...

I'll get my mate to give you a bell when I get his number back Des. Struggling since this damned phone exchange business!

Ta, it'll be september after the summer holiday when we can afford it. Fortunately we're now at the height of the british summer so we don't need the central heating and the hot water is working fine :hmm:
