Buy something for £10...!?

[The Black Adder]

You have a new plastic £10 note. It's not a lot of money these days..

So, what would you buy which would be useful for your Hifi?

:D

How about 4 ice hockey pucks, they make great equipment feet.

[walpurgis]

A couple of used CD's off ebay. Music is quite useful for Hi-Fi's. :D

A cinema ticket for Mrs. P. Then I get the house to myself for a bit :D

I was going to suggest a can of Caig Deoxit - about £10 when I last bought it but I've just seen the price of it now :eek:

£10 for10 classical CDs from a charity shop.

£10 for10 classical CDs from a charity shop.I rarely see good classical recordings in charity shops even now as people are getting rid of their collections. I imagine classical connoisseurs have big collections and would sell them to a dealer as a rule.

[hifi_dave]

I'd get another one of these Seki remotes (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005X9GDXQ/ref=twister_B00NWOGRNK?_encoding=UTF8&th=1) and still have change for something else. The one I have works perfectly on my preamp and don't care if it got damaged or lost.

Oh - they're there if you know where to look. And I only buy performances made by respected orchestras/soloists and recorded by known and well regarded labels.

Four bottles of strong pale ale and a packet of dry roasted peanuts for me. :)

An Audio Technica pickup headshell.....means I can get another one of my cartridge collection into service.

20 CD's at the local car boot sale, they tend to go for 50p each these days. You have to get there early, or there's only the dross left. Great if you're a Robbie Williams fan.

Vinyl often goes for about £1, and sometimes in good condition. But every other album is Lionel Ritchie's "Cant Slow Down" :zzz:

I've bought several CDs from charity shops of classical music played on period instruments. But they are not that common.

Agree regarding CDs (as well as DVDs), but many of the LPs on sale are in poor condition (and poorly presented - often just plonked on the floor, one on top of the other) with tatty dog-eared sleeves.

Quite often the best LPs are those of classical music sold by private sellers who have looked after them - but they are few and far between. The worse are those from traders who just consult their record buyers' guide and pay little attention to the condition of the records.

[Pigmy Pony]

Yes, good condition lp's are few and far between these days. The good ones have probably been snapped up by hipsters :punch: and been put into picture frames. The last good one I got was a near mint copy of "Houses of the Holy" with textured inner sleeve for £7. And that was a couple of years ago.

A couple bottles of beer to pass time, and a bottle of almond oil and some cotton wool balls to give the ears a clean out, then hopefully that would improve my hearing.

[Pigmy Pony]

There are better uses for the almond oil, but you'd need more than a tenner to make it happen
