O dear another HiFi circle fad in the making
:doh:
Speed's spot on Al, ran it for about 15 minutes while we looked at his set up (different Sony DD turntable/Audiolab/Martin Logan ESLs) & it hadn't wavered. Got to do a little fettling, VTAs way out so I'll need to find a small allen key to adjust it. It's in pristine condition & has obviously been well looked after.Quote:

Fad? Far from it. If it sounds good, then it’s good and worth telling others about - simples! :exactly:Quote:

I keep looking on eBay, but I can't think of anything I want. Just habit I suppose. :)
Plenty I want, but not much I need, but its fun to window shop- and you sometimes find that , "something" you didnt know you needed:lol: I quite fancied a sut till I saw the prices.:stalks:
I wouldn't be without my SUTs.Quote:

This didn't sell for £50 but looks like it has a bid for £25 second time around - I'm glad as I love these decks!Quote:

Apparently these Tannoy CPA6, small, plastic, general purpose public address speakers are a "vintage classic" and there's "nothing better than these". What a dick. :rolleyes:

Whilst I agree the seller is overstating the case somewhat, they're not actually 'plastic general purpose public address speakers'. They are actually Tannoy-badged versions of the GLL Arena speakers that were originally designed as a 5.1 channel setup with a passive subwoofer.Quote:

I know they use an ICT driver. Those are OK, but I've not found them wonderful, having had a couple of pairs of Imagios. I didn't know the CPA6 was part of a 5.1 system, I thought it was used in a similar context to the 'i' series (some of which also have tacky plastic boxes, with awful colourations, like the i6).Quote:

and a nice tt, although his postage is wonky

LOL All you have left is the original DD Motor innit? They can't be that ace if you gotta replace everything standard loike :eyebrows:Quote:

Let’s face it, modifying T/Ts (of any description) isn’t exactly new - we’ve been upgrading the likes of PSUs, tonearms, mats and plinths on T/Ts for years. Look how much, for example, the LP12 has changed since it was first introduced. Compared with a new one, I don’t think there’s much (if anything) left of the original!
The same (even more so) could be aimed at Regas, and various other T/Ts, so it’s not only Techies that folks replace things on from standard :)

the emt is a scam look at 2nd picture on listingQuote:

Not heard of them, but Beyer transformers of the right spec should be decent enough.Quote:

Might do me if I decide to go low mc :eyebrows:
Not sure how the firebottle plus will do without one.
