Good little Micro Seiki MB-10 turntable in North Wales. Sounds like it could do with a new belt. Decent arm on these.

Only up to £22 so far, an hour and a half to go!

Does this player only accept a ''particular'' type of cassette for listening to music?

You can use ferric, chrome or metal.

I like VU meters, but the display is quite attractive being electric blue, and it's fast-acting, more-so than mechanical VUs

Thanks for that.

How would you describe the sound if this player?

Does it have a biasing adjustment on the front?
17-05-2013, 21:19

No.. The machine is a 2 Head machine with Dolby B/C/HX Pro & DBX..

I got mine in 1989 Shane and the reason I have kept it is it faithfully reproduces the dynamics and grip of what you feed in. When you use a ferric tape you miss a bit of detail and top-end - but it doesn't really matter as the dynamics are there.

It has Dolby B and C and DBX noise reduction but I never bother with any. It doesn't have bias adjustment. Not sure if the next model up had it.

You want the 'RS-B705' for three head & Bias tooning.. I have the matching 'SLP-770' & 'SLP-999' CD players in this late 80's range..

I think Noel K. reviewed it in World and was quite impressed.

A rare pair of compact Audiomaster speakers.

These are the MLS4 if I'm not mistaken and were highly regarded in their day. Audiomaster were also turning out the LS3/5a at the time, so they knew their stuff!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audiomaste...item27d2ed9e56

For this kind of money these are likely to be a bit of a bargain soundwise. They need a tidy though!

Pioneer HPM-60 speakers in tidy condition. They have the same kind of dynamic punch as the JBL speakers of their time and are equally well made. Very nice.

Minters from the look of it. If he was just down the road instead of out in the wilds of Wales I would be having them no question.

The only good thing Cambridge made during the 90's IMO

He probably did a Google search, saw us bigging it up and decided to go for a 50% price increase!

You're spending FAR too much time here Alex. You should be elsewhere Rega-Shilling at every conceivable moment. I even gave you the chance when I mentioned my Sony amp and you let it pass by. Ya slipping Alex. Ya slipping.

Nice! Should go for around £200 I reckon... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2512771452...84.m1423.l2649

Be warned though, if its not been serviced it will need to be before regular use. These suffer from serious component degradation.

I've had one. Alright as a collectable I suppose, but the sound was pretty ordinary.

Mine sounded fantastic with AR3a's ... Until it died ! The preamplifier stage is always powered so all the capacitors were knackered in them by 1980 nevermind now.

Just won these Tannoy Lynx speakers for £360. Basically the same drivers as the SRM12X if I'm not mistaken and they are a hard edged version of the 3128 driver used in my Cheviot II speakers. Should be nice! Only local too.

Yes, I do have a thing about speakers. Using, buying, modifying, renovating and building! Often Tannoys, I admit.

By the way, the Lynxes will be robbed of their drivers and crossovers and then the cabinets dumped!
