Rehdeko RK 50-2 speakers. You hardly ever see these for sale anywhere!

No exactly catwalk candidates are they? Will admit that elliptical drivers have never induced a semi with me :rolleyes:Quote:

And what a crap advert for such an expensive amp ! "Can be herd" WTF... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Amplifier-...item20e3443623
....it takes 'approximately a few months' to build a pair!
But it says: "The spike base seems very affective for pulling out the performance". So it can't be all bad surely?Quote:

Hehe you lot are mean, how does your Japanese compare with their English ? At least theres no mention of gall bladders as often appears in audio-heritage.jp translations :D

Someone got a bargain.
That wasn't a "bargain", it was legally stolen at that price :eek:Quote:

Ownership would bring the benefit of being able to look down upon TD124 owners with their new fangled tacky modern rubbish.

I wonder if Mr MCRU would pick it up and then send it off for you if you are that keen James?Quote:

What is "upcycling" ?
The advertiser is obviously a little confused.
This is upcycling:

What's actually going on in that ad is correctly referred to as Upshitting - turning cheap shit into expensive shit.
You're confused! THIS is Upshitting!Quote:

Upcycling is a term for recycling by turning it into something new in some way. It's a real term been used for years in the retro furniture and retro clothing world (probably started in the clothing word first).
Anyone not regularly buying Elle Decor or such mags is probably out of the loop! I admit it, I look in Elle Decor in the shop from time to time... 90% of the time it's naff.
Well, yes. i'm aware that it is a word that some people use. And I'm also aware that similar f***wits use the term 'upskilling' instead of 'training'.Quote:

I was going to build one but this is tempting http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hifi-linea...item19eabc42dd
Would struggle to buy the chassis for that in the UK.
Hmm, I wonder if one of these would have enough oomph to power a T amp?Quote:

Really? Or do you mean maximum when pushing the limits of your ears? I've run one from a 12V battery with thin wires and 1A fuse and they never got warm nor blew the fuse. My kind of loud isn't that loud as I'm fairly near the speakers in my room and set up.Quote:

Not much info out there on Quantum amplifiers ? Allegedly developed from Crimson's which liked to self destruct...

Nope. Nope.Quote:

Cheers. Might be worth a punt, I'll keep an eye on it.
The '402'power supply was there if you wanted to use the '102' as a stand alone Pre amp if used with a different brand of power amp.. However it's the Dual Active '207' that is the star but if you can get a pair of '205' mono blocks they were good.. Maybe you could upgrade the op-amps in the '102' reap improvements!
Here's a '102' with '402'.. I bought all my Quantum gear new in the mid 80's..

You'll like those if you get them. I had what I believe were the same pair (can't remember the model numbers) many years ago and they sounded good.Quote:

I'll collect in the next day or two.

Henry Kloss, an underrated designer :thumbsup:
good just dont dsimiss them because you may not like the pre. try that '207' with a passive see what you think. They used propar output transistors {T03} :D... The power amp is passive or Active.Quote:

Waiting to hear with baited breath... Wish I just bid £100 in hindsight, what a tight fisted numpty I am :D
