Nice looking direct drive. Any good? The seller currently has a lot of early 70's Sony Amplifiers, Turntables, speakers etc. All look in very good nick!

Those late 60's & early 70's motor units Sony did were good. Not a DD fan tho, Thats actually a good price. Its even in its original Sony Plinth
How would i go about connecting a Philips 743 Pre amp to a Power amp?
I'm bidding on one but seems to be only 5 pin din only?
Get a cheap DIN to Phono adapter lead from ebay to try it with and worry about something better later.Quote:

Word of warning, Dan - the 743 was designed to run Philips’ Motional Feedback speakers and so its line output stage is optimised for them.Quote:

Could have run the active sonys but I lost the bid in the endQuote:

People still buying stuff on bay. Laptops are popular. I was after another good one but got beat several times, so folk are still spending.
True. Lots of folks are online at home, away from their boss's gaze. Plus there are stories that taxi drivers have switched to parcel delivery and so the distribution network continues regardless.Quote:

Annoyingly, I recently bought a CD from Japan that has become subject to customs duty and it's got stuck in the Royal Mail - the online pay process isn't working and the physical depot is shut. The note that came through my letterbox says it'll be returned to the sender within 21 days if customs duty isn't paid! I found myself sending a Google translated Japanese message to the seller asking him to watch out if it gets returned to him.
Still, compared to what many folks are experiencing in terms of health, money and quality of life right now, such issues are mere trivia. Good luck and God speed to the recovery.
Sadly some may have to sell there cherished audio items soon as income starts to rapidly run out for folk ( unemployment etc )
Could be a buyers market for those unaffected by the crisis.
Yes, I think we're only just beginning to perceive the long-term economic effects. I don't think anyone will be unaffected, though, it will be a matter of degree. For example, a high earner with equity or property investments will inevitably see their tax rate go up and the value of their investments go down. Still, that'd be a nicer problem to have than being a low earner whose employer is about to go bust. I fear for all of us since, as with any depression, this will dominate the next decade or more.Quote:

Consequently, when this is over there will be a lot of saved-up money and a lot of pent up demand for non-essential goods and services will be released. A lot of hand-to-mouth businesses like pubs, restaurants and so forth will go to the wall in the interim. But post C-19 they will be replaced by new ones quite quickly, and this will soak up most of those who have been rendered unemployed at the moment.
maybe that is overly-optimistic, but seems to me that spreading doom and gloom helps no-one and can become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
That's the spirit! I agree 100%Quote:

Good Pioneer PL-12D lid/cover. Not really cheap, but very hard to find now.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pioneer-P...UAAOSwT-NeWk3X
probably because most of them are in your spare room :DQuote:

Tannoy T145 Ascots £750. Not sure that's a bargain, a couple of years ago you'd have got them for under £300.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tannoy-T1...oAAOSwW8lemyNE
They do actually sound like 'proper' Tannoys though and have been under the radar for years.
Can we blame you for the new realisation in Tannoy excellence , Geoff???:eyebrows:Quote:

If you're after one and dont want to pay nearly £500 for brand new, then keep an eye here https://www.ebay.co.uk/logout/confirm

Fortunately he's listed it as the M2 so not as many people will find it as usual.
Only one bid at £200, a very potential bargain......
Just re-mounted my 2M Black. Spent a long time setting up but to be honest it's every bit as good as my ART 9 on most records. So I may be looking towards an Ortofon MC some time soon. I know you run an Ortofon MC and are you happy with it?Quote:

Tannoy 15" Monitor Black here. Shame he doesn't have a pair, but I'm not sure I could rustle up the requisite £100,000!
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Stunning-...AAAOSw131erYg8
The sheer greed from these fucks, makes me sick!

Maybe not exactly a bargain, but IMO a good price for a pair of these: https://www.ebay.ie/itm/153925189735
Could be a bargain for someone ???/ Just next door to me actually but as I have a set of Tannoys AND a set of Mission 752's ,I must resist !!
Well thought of??:scratch:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Original-...sAAOSw68Zequev
The cabs look in awful shape. Wouldn't spend over £50 on them!
S.
Yes , I think they were made by the former owner that worked at Royd. The reviews I have read arent exactly inspiring and I have enough shyte in my room already :)
Blimey! £1350.39 for a used ZYX R100-02 from Japan.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USED-ZYX-...EAAOSwhLRd-7Hk
If these Celestion Ditton 33’s don’t go mad they will be a nice buy.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Celestion...53.m1438.l2649
Edit
They were at £110!
Yes nice speakers , I have a pair :)Quote:
