I've had customs hit me pretty hard bringing stuff into the US from the UK on top of shipping. That's on our end though. It's probably not as bad going the other way.Quote:

These look fun and worth a play with, unfortunately considerably overpriced I would say ... Beard M70

They have an interesting design. I've never heard one. I've always wondered how they sound compared to an st-70. That's a ton of el84s.Quote:

I'm surprised that hasn't sold. That's not a bad starter system. 23 reels included.

I'm tempted. I'm a hoarder though.

Just listening to mine now. Such a musical player. Huge bargain considering what they sell for. Makes a great transport too.Quote:

The TSS-3000 was one of the best TTs Sony ever made IMO.Quote:

Looks ok to me. Quite tidy although maybe of it's time. Better looking arm wouldn't go amiss
I have one that works that only cost me $35. It could use a new veneer job, but other than that it's perfect. It's just ugly.Quote:

I hope someone outbids me on this. I just bid because the description was wrong. I should have looked at the shipping cost first. Their shipping is usually cheap, but this one's $55. I'd buy them for $20 all day long, It's not worth $65. I'll have a hysteresis motor to fool around with I guess.

If I'm remembering rightly was there not a thread rather critical of the vendor, bakabunghippo's, ahem, business model?Quote:

No idea if any good or not but decent discount
Absolute bargain of a preamp.
Philips Black Tulip 270.
I have one. Superb.
And the seller here is the guy I just bought the 370 power amp and tuner from. Nice guy.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2322315741...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Getting a little carried away here. Connoisseur BD1 + SME 3009 S2 + AT95E in basic plinth at £500!!
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272547782391?ul_noapp=true
I'd say that's twice what it's worth.
Maybe a bit more geoff.. thats a tad low if the arm is in good nick. 350 maybe.
I Have one as wellQuote:

A bit tempted myself, they're not too far away. Possibly the best sounding of all the early 'C' Series.
Go for it Geoff , I'm speaker full at the moment ( unless something really special comes along ;) 0Quote:
