These Roths may not be the greatest but for 40 notes are still a decent buy. A fibreglass hybrid driver and a 25mm black diamond silk dome tweeter. Pickup at Bristol

These give 15W RMS per channel and sound pretty good to me.

Heatsink really needs to be a bit bigger for continuous high power use. I have stuck on an old computer processor heatsink.
Thinking about it, would be difficult to beat this for a brand new power amp including postage.
I have mine feeding a nice pair of B&W DM4's, sounding excellent.
Slight mistake, I see they are now charging 5p for postage, mine was free.
Haven't tried those, but these were also good-

Agreed, I have one like this as well, these things are amazing.Quote:

Question is: Are they better suited to the collector or the listener ? I'm betting the former...
The melting capacitor looks interesting :DQuote:

I just picked up an audiolab 8000cd faulty for £50 on eBay it's worth a punt will let you know the results
I wonder if the dead spider gives added value, most speakers have the spiders on the inside. I reckon these might be quite good.

Very rare but they appear to be missing the MGC-1e control unit which is essential for successful operation of the speakers. See here for more infoQuote:

I think we have a problem with definitions here. Can someone clarify what 'outstanding condition' means?

Jeez-sus!
Loony pricing though. That's about four times what they're worth in my opinion. The HPM series were interesting, but not THAT interesting.Quote:

Another overpriced item. Tannoy DC2000 with a £350 asking price. That's £250 more than they're worth!
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pair-of-ra...item43d4d20e23
Apparently they're rare. That must be why I've seen several pairs for sale recently :rolleyes:.
Buy yourself a Christmas present. An unusual piece of audio:

The perfect synergistic match for your main amp, Geoff :)Quote:

I can only assume that the cartridge is made of platinum-plated unobtainium.
TT2's good, but not THAT good.
Can't believe I just said that.....
a monster a2 mc cart eh! any ideas? dynavector maybe?
I think it may have been made by ZYX. But the price is just plain stupid. Wonder if there's anybody just as stupid to buy it?Quote:

Probably alright for a garage system or something :whistle: Oddly eBay aren't offering any additional warranty options ? Too 'spensive I guess.Quote:

£400 for a Rogers Cadet pre-amp?
From Emporium Hi-Fi who are usually sensible with their prices.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rogers-vin...item3ceb1bfc66
Last time I had one of these, with power amp, I sold them for £65. Mind you it was a few years ago, but it's not much of a pre-amp, lightweight and bloomy. Crap really.
Getting rarer in decent condition, but 400 just for a pre is a tad strongQuote:

Quad 22s go for half that, and TBH, unless you're using for 78rpm record eq they aren't much use without a lot of work.
Nice MA R952... Pity about the condition :( http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3910125974...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
What do we think of Allison speakers then chaps ? Pair of "CD6" on eBay that look ripe for renovation :hmm:
Very cheap ESL57 Quad stands

Visually these two are very nice indeed. especially that Boots Audio receiver. 80wpc apparently and the styling suggests to me that Yamaha may have been the manufacturer. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-si...25312533&rt=nc
Hefty professional JBL speakers in London. 15" bass & big mid/top horns. Lovely! I'd buy these If I had the room.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE-PA...item462e4c8234
Dave, it looks to me like its 80W "both channels driven" so more likely 40wpc with the wind firmly in the right direction... Manufacturer wise I would make an educated guess of it being of Nikko origin.Quote:
