Aura Evolution II VA100 Integrated Amp
I used to own one of these and they are a cracking sounding amp. Made by B&W, output is 50wpc although with a hefty PS and torroidal tranny onboard current delivery is healthy. It is a superbly made product and it looks very cool IMHO :)

Yep - SS-1005 the same as I picked up - missing the Serial Number labels to confirm but they look identical - sound very good to my ears. They didn't oust the Diamond 7.2s on a permanent basis, though. Maybe something to do with the fact that they fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down! ;)Quote:

The meters seem a bit pointless as you really have to turn it up to get them to read anything!
Really nice pair of Quad 2805s on ebay - 2 days to go...

What are these? Early IMF Monitors, or somebody's home built interpretation?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/IMF-Speake...item20d36211fe
Seriously decent speakers going cheap (so far)!

Very nice little early seventies Nikko tuner.

Someone else who couldn't give their item a wipe clean before photographing them.
The dust would be the lease of my worries looking at those speaker grills :eyebrows:
I used to have one of those. Try as I might to purge it from memory it just wont go :steam:Quote:

Stone cold bargain... Okay they are a little tired but for that price its a no brainer for a second / workshop / garage system.

I reckon you could be right there James, I also think they would tidy up quite nicely with a bit of judicious care and attention ;)Quote:

Sugar would have briefed Rega to make him a cheap piece of shit that 'looked cool'. He has not an ounce of quality in his thinking and Rega would have been stripped to a few quid margin per unit.Quote:

Hi Martin:
I take it you didnt place the winning bid then? :D

If his was the only 'hi-fi' in the world, I would give up music.
Rare Decca Volt speakers. Not perfect, but they have to be a bargain at this sort of price. Ending tomorrow, in Stoke-on-Trent.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Decca-Volt...item4d0d32afb1
The Decca ribbon units alone are worth a lot more than the £150 opening bid.Quote:

I think I'm going to be sick! This is truly vomit worthy.

The wurd *Retro* alone get up my back
You have to be kidding! £199.99 for an Amsturd TT? I don't care if it was made by Rega.

It's very cheap tho & a late IEC mains inlet version.
Um :hmm:
Tad over priced if you ask me :rolleyes:

It shouldn't hurt it Shane. Most SS amps are OK switched on without a load. You shouldn't do it with valves as a rule though.Quote:

Pair of Mission 780se Speakers. One 780 has a baggy eye :D

WTF ? :scratch:

:lol: I've always fancied a Mk II Granada though... Preferably a 2.8 Ghia in gold.

That is a moody pic of a mk2 Granny. I used to own a mint Silver 2.3 Ghia V6 in the 90's and it was a lovely car :)
I had one too. 2.3GL auto. Nice!
Not as much fun as the Manta GTE that followed it though.
