Not Knocking the arm just the price they are asking, it's nigh on double the last oneQuote:

Can't agree with that. With the damping utilised the 774 has no "mismatch" to lower compliance cartidges. That's the point of the design. It's not a compromise, it's an effective solution.Quote:

Hi Jamie, thanks for that. Cheers.
are you sure it's not Pool Otley rather than Poole. That is where the map suggests.
whoops my bad lol
Ahah, too late :doh: :lol:
Lovely example of a Sugden A21SE. But the postage is priced very high though! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sugden-A21...MAAOSwo4pYh5C4

I remember when they were £500 new. Couldn't afford one back then either :)Quote:

More like 'Knob end'.
Is it a 'bargain'? Hardly!
LP record of 'In The Court of The Crimson King' by King Crimson at £895!!
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/king-crims...gAAOSwJQdXCCqJ
Perhaps I should dig mine out and flog it! :D
Seventies rock/prog original releases are going for silly money. Not just King Crimson either. Zep, Moodies, Floyd, etc.
Not ebay - i was contacted by a guy that does local house clearances bought HI-FI from him before including a very nice NAK - he sent me a text said he's got a marantz CD67 "Original SE" - so a text later to confirm buying - i picked up after 9am this morning - new plug and shes singing - nice the guys not interested in this stuff and let me have it for £10...:)
Just dig out the original remote i kept - this alone is worth a million quid you know! haha some prices of some remotes a getting OTT...:mental:
I've been unloading my albums from the 90s as they're being re-released. The prices on some of those are nuts. I think I must have been the only person still buying them.Quote:

The reissues sound better than the originals in most cases. I think the 90s ones were cut from the same master as the CD. I don't like that they are splitting some of them into dual albums for no reason. If they're doing it to increase the dynamics it makes sense. Most of them I've bought recently don't have enough runtime to justify it.
Another over priced Kraken ( IMHO), this one has a selector switch fault too. I am sure this one has been doing the rounds. Serial number 11 .

Sadly there is no week in Benidorm there. Your copy is the 2nd issue with the Pink Rim Palm Tree label.:doh:Quote:

Its daft , but there again some first pressings are 50 years old nearly ! I am waiting till the price on my 2 yrs stack of Sounds newspapers from 1972,(albeit with brown age stains on the edges ,having been under the bed for the last 40 yrs ) suddenly gets to the 'must have' timecale :eyebrows:
Can't be worth much if I've got one :)Quote:

Quite honestly, idiot collectors make my blood boil. You can bet if some OCD-afflicted clown pays £900 for this record it won't be listened to, it'll be blood catalogued, filed away and its value recorded in a spreadsheet somewhere.
All these people are doing is spoiling it for the rest of us who buy records to play and to listen to.
Agreed. Hoarding is boring.Quote:

Listed as JBL4410A monitors...actually 4412As, with the 12" bass driver. A give away price for 4412s. Reputation is deeper bass but not as tight.
Tatty cabs which would respond to a bit of TLC, and one tweeter is either not original or a replacement to a different spec. Tweeter are easily available on ebay, usually from the states.
Still, great fixer-uppers and could make someone very happy indeed.
