That is a very nice looking tape player. Tandburg are a relatively new company to me. Only since joining AOS that I have any knowledge of them.Quote:

Yes the 910/911 had very good sound, although not a transport as good as the Nakas, if I recall properly.
I always liked tapes recorded on the Tandbergs WITHOUT Dolby : very neat. ;)
No good having a great transport when the machine has an habbit of breaking down on yer :DQuote:

Tha Amp 1 and 2 really were good and the "2" was far more involving straight off than an 8000A, which need work with cables etc to get a reasonable sound that even began to compare IMO...
I've used two for over twenty years without problems and just one service.Quote:

This one's a bit different though. It's a Sony DAT SCSI drive. Come the new year I'll hook it up to my PC and audio enable it.
Talking of DATs on Ebay. Crazy prices in general when you think that when I bought mine new they cost me nigh on £1,000 each. And I have three . . .
:worthless:Quote:

As for my other Dat decks, well, I didn't get them off ebay, so it would be off topic if I posted pics of them here :ner:
Not cheap but a brilliant Pre amp
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PINK-TRIANGLE-...item2557ce3361
Well, that was interesting. The ex-BBC Studer D-730 broadcast CD player sold for £1,030.00
Too much for a well used workhorse me thinks.
This might go cheap ending crimbo day.
These are worth about 300 quid..Can be modded to near enough Naim '250' status, stick some regulation in it.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...STRK:MEBIDX:IT
They're a bit hard hitting (not harsh toned) and an externally mint one bought by a pal of mine had caps that had leaked all over the place. It sounded swell by all accounts once re-capped and re-setup voltage wise.
Those old bolt-up jobbies don't sound like "Naims" at all, the odd order distortion and crossover artifacts being seemingly different in character. The old NAP 250 could almost pass as a valve amp it's so sweet toned when working right..
Don't like em as a rule but i used to own quite a few Naim's..I did like my Bolt down 160, 32 & SNAPS but never really appreciated em..Something about the bolt downs..I still have a little '110' power amp in the back room somewhere aswell as a 'Nait 1' intergrated i'm posotive i have, had a '42' with the '110' but i remember my old mate pestering me for the '42' so i let it go..I always thought the 'Nait' was the diamond! Owt with Naim plasterd across it certainly holds a good price. I was shocked how much an original 'nait' sells for on the bay.Quote:

I'm sure an Avondale makeover would transform it though... there's still something of a "greyness" to the sound of most CB style amps though, even when re-capped IMO.
I remember a mate with a bolt-up 250 'Brik tri-amp system sending his amps back for fettling (they all drift off after a few years). Julian himself did the setting up and we went to Salisbury to collect them.
Julian compared each of Richard's 250's to the CB version and it was most striking that Naim had traded musicality, space and "ease" for this rhythmic, hard-toned "slam" of the CB range. I didn't much care for it then and I certainly don't like it now, although their amps post 180 introduction did seem to calm down a little - could be better output trannies as I think they were changed around this time...
Went for £180.00, well cheap.Quote:

I'm not sure, i can't remember if these used Richard Allan Bass units.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Pair-Diesis-Sp...item3358d8aaab
I did the first 'review' of a Diesis speaker for Hi-Fi for Pleasure I believe. They were a bit 'home made' but had a lively sound. Wouldn't take a lot of power though.
SP10 and Technics plinth looks like it will go for peanuts...
SP10 ebay
(A whole farm of peanuts, that is!)
Hi Alex
It will go for a mere £1,200 as the arm is not original and it has not been serviced!

Oh, in that case Dave I won't bother then, if it's only a cheapo one! ;)

When you make an amp with so many components hard wired together, it cannot be as neat as when a PCB is employed but that is a price to pay for superior sound quality.Quote:

Also note the various colours which shouldn't be there. I would say that amp has had a lot of 'work' done on it - it's not original...:eek:
I was going to bid for these, but they went for a silly amount.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT
A boxed, unused and thus mint pair went about 6 months ago for £400.

BT Mains conditioning unit 1 day 15 hours left, still at starting price of £9.99
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=130357513897
HOW MUCH! (and there's even a bidder already!) So, is this really a "bargain" Andre, and why is it worth so much?
If you fancy blowing an even larger wad of cash, but with 100% going to Oxfam for the Haiti appeal, then try this link
At the moment, DJ Shadow's Technics SL-1200MK2 is going for a very reasonable £310 - but the Damon Albarn song at nearly £4.4k may be less of a bargain...
It's a privately-pressed LP.The 250 copies pressed were sold at gigs,but a lot of those pressing were to family & friends..The last ones that surfaced on eBay two year ago went for approx £3000 each.Quote:

Yeah stop picking on Andre! If that's what he likes,then that's what he likes.YOU don't have to like it,just leave him alone to like it!! :ner:
