Its now working & I'm listening to it... So far I'd say slightly nasal on vocals, majors on clarity & dynamics. I can see how it might sound poor with the wrong speakers.Quote:

I can offer no rational explanation for it, but I REALLY like this:

As he's got away with acting as if he's a private seller he continues to do so..... very naughty
He is always overpriced as well
Great little DJ console. Will probably be ignored as its not made by Citronic but I have one and its very good. Best feature is the auto-cueing on the turntables that does all the hard work for you!

While I was collecting them the seller asked if I wanted an old amp he had been using with them for free. As I never pass up a bargain I accepted his kind offer.
This is what he gave me!
In need of some TLC but what a nice project.

Well done!
There are a few things you can do to the Quad 33 and 405-1 to turn them into a very nice sounding pair.
Could be a bargain ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2009520025...84.m1423.l2649

Vintage Connoisseur BD1 turntable in plinth. It will no doubt need a bit of fettling, but these sound amazingly good, set up properly.

These little Trio amplifiers sound very good indeed. A bit like a Sugden A21, clean and open with no top end nasties. The tuner will be decent, but the sensitivity is low, you need a good aerial to get the best out of it.Quote:

Whether you use classic equipment, beer money Equipment or High End, no one is better than the other..

That seems a reasonable price.

Andre, your equipment is positively modern compared to a lot of the kit I use, that few people have even heard of, let alone listened to. :)Quote:

Lust! However, goodness knows where you'd get it repaired if the self-centering went wrong.Quote:
