What a good bit of kit!Quote:

I'll be ordering one too, cheers for the heads up Geoff.
Don't think you'll be disappointed guys. Let me know what you think of it.
I'll be using it to read me comics under the bed sheets :lol:
Long as you're not checking your tackle! :DQuote:

Nice early pair
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-B-...3D181386976634
Yes, early ones. White surrounds on drivers. I seem to recall seeing early ones with the all metal 4001 super tweeter too.Quote:

Those 18650s are the type used in Li-ion power tools, although different spec ones for power tools, ones with very high max current. Excellent cells for hifi I'd think!Quote:

Are the peerless tweeters in the 'D5's ok?
Check these out http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-x-B-W-SS...item3ce049193a
You beat me to it James. I reckon these were made by B&W for Sony judging by the 'SS' tag. If I recall there were several models B&W made for them. These must be early and I've not heard of them before.
I'd love the DM3s, but just have no room. Somebody on AOS is bound to want them.Quote:

Talking of old speakarse... Anyone got an opinion on "KEF Chorale SP1016" ? B220+T27 in a sealed cabinet... Theres a local pair for £40 :hmm:
Quite a decent sounding speaker. I preferred these to the more expensive Cadenza. The Chorale is the ancestor of the now rather sought after KEF Corelli.Quote:

Thanks Geoff, I might just give them a go.Quote:

Here's a rarity! The best built LHH1000 variant ever built?
Micro Seiki CD-M2 ! Weighs a ton and has balanced outputs via transformers. Considering a top condition Marantz CD94 MkII can fetch near or over £500, £700 seems a bargain for the TDA1541A lover. Emporium hifi too.

How much for the d5's? Pm!Quote:

I used to use ARC'101' in a couple of Active system {A&R Cambs/Nytech/Quantum} but my terminals were not like that, they were 4mm sockets where you could just insert the X-Over pods if you wanted to use them.Quote:

Lovely vintage Trio KT-4005 analogue tuner. Looks pretty tidy and the price is reasonable at £58.32.

I've ordered one of those Chinese linear power supplies I posted a few pages back - Should be interesting.
I also noticed some others from the same seller that I've not seen before...
2A version: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hifi-linea...12388829&rt=nc
2-in-1: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Hifi-2...12388829&rt=nc
They all use the standard LM317 circuit with a multi turn potentiometer so you can change/tweak the output easily.
They look very neat and well made, sensible prices too. I might be tempted.Quote:

220v input won't be an issue for most but I wouldn't try using it if your mains runs close to 250v as mine used to before the leccy company pulled their finger out... I complained that my mains was 256v for 12 months, they finally sent 2 blokes out to the local transformer who tinkered with it for 3 hours & now I'm a rock steady 238v.
Yeh remember those & the small Boston Acoustics speakerz..Quote:
