Are these different from the £15.00 Linn springs dealers sell?, or are Nirvana one's £30.00 better?. :scratch:

I quite like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SONAB-R-40...item257d89c5b6

But that tuning dial looks very tacky & speaker DIN's are the work of satan.

This Karan KAS 180 looks sensibly priced at £1249. It would have been around £5k new.

Is this a bargain? Ming Da 845 monoblocks with preamp, in Birmingham. Only bid up to £310 so far, ends tomorrow.

Bought this earlier today:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Thorens-TD...vip=true&rt=nc

Underneath that horrible ADC ALT1 arm is an SME type mount, which will take one of my Mission 774 arms, nice!

I reckon the ALT1 will fetch about £80 on eBay and the accompanying Ortofon FF15 cartridge maybe £20, meaning I've (hopefully) got a decent TD160B for around £80. Not too bad. It'll be a back up TT.

Someone should snap these things up pronto.

Looks like someone has snapped these up pronto :( Now SOLD

This has worked out even better than expected. The seller was a nice chap and had dug out all the original boxes & paperwork for the arm, cartridge and TT and also included a packaged 'Platter Matter' mat, very nice. All items in very good condition. Chuffed!

Hah! Yeah, the main PCB is under that copper cover I think they stuck it in a tall box to match the rest of the S10 range aesthetically...

Aaah, Ion tweeters. The thought of breathing in all that lovely Ozone.

They should carry a health warning. Sound good though. I believe the plasma generator cell has a fairly limited life.

They were well liked in their day (seventies). Pretty rare now.

I heard these speakers once in a huge warehouse driven by a 300b amp that was falling to bits, but the sound stuck with me. They are superb

I asked about that Denon a while back on the Yahoo tuner group and the info I got back was that it might sound good on a strong signal but the sensitivity is relatively poor. The other specs are the same as the TU-1500RD IIRC. So a TU-800L would be a better bet IMO.

Just won this. Don't laugh but it uses the same turntable as the 'RP1500' i was wanting a spare motor, strobe light & another one of those arms (i rewired yesterday on the vintage rebuild topic), the platter & bearing can go on my DIY RCM, so i guess it was a bargin' enough for me..the rest of it can go to the tip.

Don't bother. I've had them. They're nothing to get excited about sonically.

Last pair cost me £6 at a boot sale. Didn't like them much. The 2060 is far better.

Ah right, I did wonder as they appear to use Wharfedale midrange drivers which IMO can be pretty bad.

Today's "Oh dear" listing. Apparently this is an Altec without speakers. Looks like a speaker to me!
