Hi all,
I am here, cap in hand, on behalf of a friend.
He is currently setting up a new home after a divorce and has next to nothing. Literally sitting on the floor of his flat, until tomorrow, when he gets a Sofa.
As he loves music, I thought I would see if anyone here had anything HiFi related that has been teetering on the brink of the bin!
He only plays CD. I have sorted a CD player out so I am after a Integrated amp (anything audible) and some speakers of some kind. Again, anything in working order, doesn't have to be pretty.
Thanks

i have speakers he can have, but would need picking up.
I have a Sony TA-VA8ES (https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/support/audio-components-receivers-amplifiers/ta-va8es) AV amp which is fantastic in stereo pass through mode. But it is a big lump (massive transformers etc) so would need pick up etc.
Need to find the remote.
I've got speaker cable if this helps. I'll post it to him for free. I may be able to find a few more things in my spares box but i would have to take a look when i get home tonight 10PM
Hi Oliver, I've got an Acoustic Solutions FM/DAB tuner I don't use anymore your friend is welcome to, let me know and I'll send it up.

You are right Adam, they are certainly getting long in the tooth. But like a fine wine they have matured well so still are keepers. :cool:

Gonna need an heck of a big room to fit this lot in !
So far he's got a turntable, a tuner, 4 amplifiers, 2 home cinema amps and 8 sets of speakers. And cables too. A few more bits and pieces and he can open a shop.
Oh I've got an Eltax 5 channel home cinema amp he could have. Mint, original box and packaging with manual and remote (the manual is a classic of mistranslation, really funny in places).
It's got funky digital level meters on the front panel too.
I have a friend ( cough cough ) who really needs the company of a beautiful young lady ???

Looks like you're sorted for everything but speakers(!) So I have a pair of JBL Control 1's he's welcome to.
Is he sorted for actual CD's? I probably have a few duplicates :)

Yeah a trip to cash converters might help his financial situation [emoji23]
