Tannoy Cheviot for sale
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tannoy-Ch...oAAOSwc1ZbrTgR
I glance at this thread sometimes but I know ebay and seriously doubt any more bargains can be had on there....maybe ten years ago or when I started in 2007 but rarely now.
Lots of chancers asking silly money for just about anything now and too many small dealers upping the ante
I think there is still the odd bargain to be had. As an example, I currently have a turntable on its way to me from Germany. It's in good condition, apart from a scratch or two on the lid, and full working order. It was up for £50 and I was the only bidder - the last one on UK eBay went for over £300!! :scratch:Quote:

As you say, a high price but you must remember it’s not cheap to muck up a wonderful turntable with Japanese silliness. Feeding the unicorns is an expensive business, for a start.
HHmmm , in a similar vein , and as I know you peeps like a bargain , hows about this relic??? :scratch:

AKG Q701s, apparently a year old and a mere £90...although the seller has 1 feedback.

Exposure Super XVIII sitting at £99.99 with a day to go. Fabulous power amp and they often don't sell for what they could IMHO.
I'm never entirely sure what a seller means by "clean" though, as in "a nice clean example". It seems a waste of time to refer to whether something does or doesn't need a quick wipe, so it just makes me wonder whether a seller is trying to infer that something's in good cosmetic condition when in fact it's probably showing its age, but is nonetheless not dirty :scratch:

I think it is meant like it is with cars: no scuffs, dings or scratches.Quote:

I would read that as “there’s a lot of rough ones out there, this one has been looked after (but bear in mind it’s 25 years old or whatever).Quote:

Thanks guys. I'm still learning something new every day.

There's nothing unusual in twenty or thirty year old amplifiers or other items being in mint or near mint condition. I have several.
Came across these Wilson Benesch Arcs today. Considering they were £3.5K when new and are a cracking speaker I think they are a bit of a bargain for someone, I love my pair.

World’s First & Finest Statement Resonance controlled Fine Silver Loudspeaker cable set. Cost £172,800.00.Quote:

Authentic Genuine piece, never abused, excessively bent or strained and always treated with utter utter respect & love.
This is just over 4 years old, fully run in and truly a beautiful work of art in the way it delivers realism. This was crafted as a solution item and the remainder of the cable system is also available for sale.
It's not an easy install, and the cable takes a month or two to daily settle down once moved. Happy to help set it up together but once done the rewards are immense.
In excellent condition, connectors will have connecting marks naturally from connecting the cable into speaker terminals to be concise and accurate in description.
If you own a true state of the art single ended or high end set up you will be simply amazed at how much of the music and data you have been corrupting and throwing away with so called high end commercial marketed offering. it’s difficult to describe this cable without throwing cliché after obnoxious cliché at it. The joy it’s given me in an intrinsic personal connection with whoever I am listening to and the portrayal of realism and correctness in voiding my audio best describes it for me.
:drool: I'm only £119.500 short :(
:D
I'd be tempted to go for equity release on the old house but he expects you to pay paypal fees and extra for shipping! You can have a power cord to for an extra £13500 :stalks:
At that price this potentially presents a perfect situation for a DB AB test with say a £20 cable.
If it is so far ahead, the difference should be really obvious, but if not, what a perfect illustration of delusion or placebophilery.
If it weren't for the fact that I use active speakers, I'd have bought them by now. Then again, I'd need bigger cable lifters, too...
cable lifting? isnt that a crime now;)
:lol: I wouldn't pay £50 for them, let alone £500. It's this sort of thing that give audio enthusiasts a bad name and make them a laughing stock to other music lovers. If they are so good, why is he selling them? :scratch:Quote:

Coincidentally the window eBay gives you to make a claim...

Is the 'new' price correct? Makes no senseQuote:

They look like Audiomasters or possibly RAM's.Quote:

They are. I've owned those drivers and still have a pair of the tweeters, which are very nice sounding.Quote:

Suggest spec of those tweeters are checked as they have a tendancy to reduced output also check crossover for out of spec caps - after all, these speakers are more than likely over 30 years old. Falcon sell new tweeter replacements now but the bass/mids have been out of production for many years.Quote:
