You are right the oak finish looks very nice. I had the 752 Freedoms in the standard black ash. Great sound. Sold it to a mate's son for I think £50 and still going strong. If I recall someone dropped a lego brick in it via one of the ports. Never bothered to retrieve it. :lol:Quote:

It's not just an amplifier, but the full set of Yamaha's original Active Servo Technology AST-A10 amplifier and AST-S1 speakers. You can only use them together as you have to plug a special matching cartridge module into the amp according to which model of Yamaha AST speakers you're using (this amp also comes with a cartridge for conventional speakers).
They use a fancy impedance matching system to draw bigger bass out of a small cabinet and it works surprisingly well.
Unbelievable!!
Who is going to bid on this?
I would love it but not at this price.

Surely his not going to get anywere near that price is he for that receiver :scratch:.

I'd imagine the seller was finalising a sale outside ebay and stuck the price up to prevent someone starting the auction. And then removed the ebay listing once his non ebay sale completed ok. Or something like that.Quote:

Not sure on that Oli ?, but my main point is that there s too many people spoiling eBay by not abiding by the rules.
Forgive my stupidity but why would you list something at a price to make sure no one bids on it?
It means you can link to it elsewhere (Twitter, Facebook, forums, etc.) and benefit from all the features eBay offers, such as photo hosting and feedback score, but without paying any seller fees.Quote:

Obviously the buyer has no protection though :(
He probably had it listed with £1 seller fees as well [emoji3]

It's Funny that before it was removed and as I had it on watch, I was offered the buy it now price which was the opening asking price needless to say I :rofl:.Quote:

The idea is to sell via eBay in the spirit of the deal. What normally happens is someone comes to look at the item they've seen on ebay and then make me a cash offer on the spot. If I accept, I can't just cancel to eBay ad because they can charge a fee if they believe you've sold it thanks to their site.Quote:

It's not a deliberate tactic but it's happened a few times.
That strikes me as not really in the spirit of eBay.
Why not just put a buy it now price on of slightly more than you want, and allow offers? Seems much easier and fairer to everyone.
Agree with that.Quote:

Adam , some sellers change the prices to avoid ending a auction and then having to pay a re listing fee , Common on lots of auctions , I have seen items that normally sell for £9.99 listed at £999.99 then when back in stock the price goes back down to £9.99 on 30 auctionsQuote:

Have you not had ebay after you for ending to many auctions , I had a slapped wrist years ago and had to go through the 10 question yes and no naughty boy procedure before my account was unlocked :(Quote:

I've let auctions run for cameras and small box items and rejected offers of cash on collection.
I'd never cancel an auction if there were bidders. It's only on BIN items.
I cannot integrate these last two sentences.Quote:

Gorgeous Wavac monoblocks. Though for the money you'd think they could stick the logo on square:

Easily dealt with though lots of ways to do it, regenerator, bucking tranformer, balanced mains with 220v tap (Airlink have a custom option). Not a showstopper though agree, you probably shouldn't just plug them into 240v.
EAR 861 power amplifier £2500. You don't see many of these.

Recent EAR service. Belongs to my mate!

Do they stink of ozone when in use?
I've asked this question before but haven't had an answer, I suspect in part because there's no such thing as a single UK voltage when it comes down to individual location. I've measured my mains peaking at 245v which would be over 10% higher than this spec, suggesting that these amps would be running hot, shortening their lifespan or worse. My guess is that if your mains did run at the published 230v "standard" it would be OK but the variation that you experience makes it a gamble. But I'm no expert so will await someone who is...Quote:
