I bought this for my Disabled mate for his SME arm { Cos he likes to copy off me :D } , i thought it a pretty good price, together with the Ed Saunders styli i just ordered him. The total of around £50 altogether should have him a good sounding cartridge.. I recon he'll be happy..

Aaargh, if only I had known André. I have an M95 body sat in my draw which you could have had for cost of postage :(Quote:

For anyone interested in fitting another arm, when you remove those Linn pattern armbaord you are left with SME pattern..
Seems optimistic considering the awful condition http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Garrard-30...item1e83c2eece
Spares or renovation only! Overpriced piece of tat.Quote:

Instead of the suede platter, it had the Hydraulic Reference style of platter with the gold plated cones. Looked awesome but it was as microphonic as heck :(Quote:

Bid upto £541.00 but lost it :wah:

That's the platter the "export" version came with :DQuote:

Yep, I too reckon John would have sold me one even if I wanted food blender attachments with it :rfl:
So, what did you do to piss her off so much then Frank?
(PS - in case you didn't notice elsewhere, I got the package today, thanks a lot - the Lyle Lovett CD is great and thanks for the bananas & spades)
Look interesting & I'm sure you could make a good pair from the 4 speakers for sale: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-JVC-Vint...item2586294938
I didn't do ennyfink, honest guv :rolleyes: All I did was ask "How much? I want one"Quote:

Got an add for Scan Dyna somewhere..
Earlier, I put a whopping great snipe bid in on something I really want. I can't say what yet 'cos somebody else may like it and try to outbid me. I've bid about twice what I expect it to sell for, but you never know, somebody else may be that keen too. If I win I'll disclose all tomorrow!
Wig shopping again, Geoff?Quote:

I really wanted this. I've already got the previous M22B, which is superb and cost me nearly twice as much. Every Monarchy Audio product I've had has been excellent.
Sold a few of those back in the day. Couldn't say what it sounded like, but it was built like a brick shit-house. This is a relisting after it failed to sell with a starting bid of £40.Quote:

Shame, as these are a lovely amp and one of my favourite Jap units (in UK voltage naturally).

did anyone on here nab these i forgot to bid they seemed to go very cheap :doh:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/A-PAIR-OF-...vip=true&rt=nc
Yes, by current price standards that was cheap for a pair of IIILZs. Must be the time of year. People spending less due to the run up to Christmas.Quote:

Not sure if someone else has posted this.
