Hi all, Clive's wife Christina contacted me that Clive G has passed away, and his equipment will have to be sold. Clive was a long standing audiophile and real gentleman, and had been suffering from cancer for a few years.
I had written on his system in a blog after a few visits here. http://zero-distortion.org/schopper-thorens-124/
I know that he still has the Schopper TD 124 (which was preferred by us to his Shindo Garrard, the Audiograil 301 in BobC plinth, and he previously had an SME 30/2 and a Brinkmann Lagrange with Davinci Grandezza and he preferred the Schopper to all). It was the full Schopper shabang that he had got at 9k euro from schopper, with the power supply, and had mounted an FR 64s on it and a Brinkmann 10.5 on a mount made my speedy steve next to it. If the conditions for Covid 19 etc improve I will buy this myself, but in the meantime, if anyone is interested, PM me and I can put you on to Christina
He had a Shindo Giscours preamp with built in phono which I understand is the best in the Shindo line-up. He also had their top monos.
He also had a Kondo SUT, AN IO cart, Esoteric K-10 CD player
He had Tannoys with 15 golds in them, and also red drivers he had up for sale. Not sure if sold the drivers.
He had bought the Radford 100 from montesquieu, and a great collection of LPs, many originals, mostly classical, some Jazz.
When I can get there I will get some pics up, and list in the classifieds section. If anyone else is in contact with Christina here, feel free to help.
