Yeah but next week it will be cheaper so people who saw it at 470 will think they're getting a bargain, it's a new trend in selling on eBay, I've seen it regularly last few weeks.Quote:

Maybe 30 years ago, I paid about £70 for mine from Videotone who were the importers.
Apparently, these capacitors are "AS AGREED". Whatever that means!

The one I owned came fitted to a Rega Planar 3 and cost me £5 from my local dump!Quote:

It did, but I forgot it was going up in £10's and only tried 486 as I didn't think it was worth more than say 450 anyway. It told me I had to bid at least 496 but to be honest I wasn't fussed for it anyway it would have been tried and possibly sold on very quickly.
I've been offered them for a lot less when I was looking for an arm a few months ago 😀
Yeah. You had a lucky escape there. Some poor bugger just got stiffed for £480! :DQuote:

I paid £600 + Postage so i dont think i did too badly really!
Last year when I was looking for a tone arm if I had managed to get an Alphason 100MCS for under £500 it would have delighted me. Especially so when Ittok's go for north of £500
It seems the 100MCS goes for around £600 and the 100s go around £500Quote:

Not keen on Ittoks. Used one for a couple of years, but it's not for me. I had a Garrard 401 and swapped between the 774 and Ittok. The 774 sounded far better to me, especially when using Deccas, which did not like the Ittok one bit.
The normal range for Ittok's from auction bids seems to be £500 - £600. I had one in the 90's on my LP12 and liked it but the ebay prices seem high relative to other options that may be better.
The Ittok LVIII is a nice arm but I still wouldn't pay the current prices, far better arms available for that sort of cash.
Well, I watched a fair few videos of tonearms on youtube and while you cant gauge the quality it does give a general feel of what might come. The Ittok seems very popular but has some well know flaws (not sure what but thats what the reading suggests) the OL arms at the higher prices are very well spoken of but generally a pain to set up (again from what I've read) so the Alphason is a bit of a simplistic arm, set up wise, which suits me. The Mission is a beautifully designed arm. I like its looks and its sound is better. The Alphason is coming in as an underdog in my eyes.

check out the price!
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Zeta-Tonea...19.m1438.l2649
The Zeta was one of the best British tonearms ever made. Think they sold for £750 in their day (I'm sure someone can correct me if I'm wrong).
Shame about the bearings and arm plug. No doubt Audio Origami could do a repair.
That VDH cable should qualify you for a discount on the asking price!Quote:

They are a bit of a 'sleeper', but extremely nice. They use the Decca London horn ribbon tweeter, which are worth around £400 on their own. I guess these speakers will be promptly canibalised by the buyer.

I have a pair of these in full working order :eyebrows: Lucky me :D and yes they do sound so sweet ;)Quote:

Despite being lovely unit, it has marked limitations, but is a pioneering bit of design.
This fully balanced phono stage at £750/offers, normally retails at £1,750 (1,990 euros)

Gets pretty good reviews.

EDIT: Balls, pulled the trigger on this myself today, too good to miss.:eyebrows:
Great reviews from: Stereophile, 6Moons, TNT Audio, Soundstage, 10 Audio, Stereo Mojo.
With a LOMC cartridge used in balanced mode, it is a single ended class A current amplifier (Whatever that is). ;)
