Well done Jamie, it is a very good turntable and I really do regret selling mine a number of years back.
I believe Adam has at least one of these, possibly two.
Just make sure that they send it properly packed with the platter and arm removed.

Hahaha what happened to "mums the word"?

Too much pocket money. That's what I blame it on! :D
I'd say soQuote:

Has vintage charm but the Pioneer Jamie just bought is in another league in the beauty contest as well as being a serious top end deck.Quote:

A beautiful deck Jamie. Looking forward to seeing how it goes for you. :)
Trio KA-2000 amp at £165. Are you kidding?? Thirty to forty quid tops is what I'd pay. Assuming I wanted one, which I wouldn't.

He s also got some Tannoys for 45k, what do you think of them Geoff ?Quote:

Big Ears Audio = Idiot!

Certainly his stuff moves rather slowly ...many years ago - I think about 7-8 years ago - I made what I thought was a very fair offer on a pair of Pamphonic 2001 KT66 monoblocks. Not only are they still there, the price is exactly the same as it was back then (which I would posit tells us something about whether £2800 is the right price or not!).Quote:

Some ebay Hi-Fi traders are, as Shane suggests, idiots. I recently had an inexcusable experience with 'planethifidotcodotuk' as he calls himself. I shall elaborate on a dedicated thread later once I've compiled the data.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202186039...84.m1436.l2649
These are worth the money if you are local :)
Exactly ! great speakers that punch way above their 'price' weight. I've struggled to let mine go hence I still have and thoroughly enjoy them :)Quote:

I've never actually owned a PLC-590 myself but Noel Keywood had two that we used as workhorses during my time at Hi-Fi World. Fine decks!Quote:

Non Original drivers i think so...
Tannoy Jaguars

I think those may be the correct drivers. They are the right shape, but somebody has painted the chassis fronts black.Quote:

Indeed and with hours left looks like someone may well get a right bargain ;)Quote:

Yep still love mine crazy loud they can go with easy well worth the money these will only go up in value seems weird the worst of the DC's - the 200 as you say are fetching good money but these ones are not which is strange proper DMT Tannoys the 1000'sQuote:

Designed to be used behind a cinema screen, with subwoofers; bass will be very light otherwise.Quote:

To be fair, it kills two birds with one stone. I want to give a SUT a good run (April is about right) and also really wanted to try a Rothwell SUT. Full on review and comparison will be done around April time when/if the Hashimoto become available. May even be able to run the rule over some HM-7 too.
Tannoy System 10 DMT in Derby. Very nice sounding speakers these. Punchy too.
Only bid to £57 so far. They'll fetch a lot more than that.

Hashimotos can take quite a while to run in and sound their best ... weeks anyway, possibly monthsQuote:

Are they the same drivers as in my 635's D 50 's , Geoff:scratch: ??Quote:
