Just bagged a cheap Cambridge Audio 'P55' £35..You'll do for me, thats my 80's system complete.
Worth it just for those knobs alone.
Those knobs are classic.. :)
Approx 42 mm Diameter
Biggest knob that I've got.
On an amplifier.
thats a bigger knob than you might realise :lolsign:
No scanner but my camera has a document setting - Mods - Is it okay to post a photographic reporduction of a review from a 20 year old WTF on here?Quote:

I thought it might go for a bit more at least a consistent bidder won it and not a snipe merchant.

Sorry to go :offtopic:
Sorry Neil, but i find that a little offensive seeing as i bid manually usually within the last 10 seconds of an auction ending ;)Quote:

Yes i'm a sniper but i do it myself & pay straight away, i wouldn't dream of using some program that needs me to enter all my details just to use it :eek:
All i can say is that if you want to keep the price going up on what you intend to purchase then feel free to carry on with your own habits, just don't criticise others that don't follow the same methods :whistle:
I've got the proper P60 up in the loft and am using the T55 currently...Quote:

Ok, in that case please feel free to ignore what i said & i guess i ought to apologise for not understanding you mean't sniping using a program (which i'd never do - I value my information miles too much ;)) :doh:Quote:

So no problem :)

No sniping here, just there when they appeared! A nice enough pair of newer Rogers LS1's to use as a spare / kitchen / office speaker..

Edit... funny old composite picture there, illustrating the auction :scratch:
Must be desperate for cash putting them on like that... Maybe it's just for advertising it - hence the phone number - rather than for an actual sale
Yes, two decks appear to be spinning...Quote:

My Hitachi FT5500-II was a superb tuner and could pull a good signal from wet string but sounded excellent on a good signal. I sold it some years ago but remember it fondly.
Some of the pictures of his other auctions look interesting.:eek:Quote:

A&R Cambridge 'T21' is an excellent tuner if you can forgive the LED display, does look sexy all the same.
Well I've just been screwed over on ebay.
I bought some celestion ditton 22's Quote "in need of a coat of varnish".
Fine I thought.
The box arrived today, nice packaging, all looking good so far.
I took them out, one was smashed so badly the side panel just dropped off.:steam:
I wont be buying off that git again, He's not even replied to my email.
BUYER BEWARE
:acid:
Get a paypal claim in quick.
Running:
Quad '44'/'405' with Tannoy 'T165' (Chester) £750 ono.
And a Sony PS-F9 gradually creeping up in price!
It's got one of "those" cartridges on it as well...;)
I'm not sure i'd call these a bargain, but they are a lot cheaper than a secondhand pair of Jadis JA200 :eyebrows: Like a fifth of the price :)
200W OTL valve monoblocks
They look rather massive :eek: If i had transport & lived nearer Herts i'd take the chap up on audition :)
Day or so left..Linx 'Vega' Pre 2x Linx 'Vega' power amps day or so left got peanuz on em at the mo..
Lo start Naim 12S/SNAPS
Not ebay, but just seen a Leak 2100 amplifier for £30 - does anyone know if its worth a punt?
It depends how far you are from Leytonstone..
I got the service manual in PDF form if you ever do need it. Very European warm sound, compared to the harsh Japanese sound of that period.
about an hours train journey from me - £13 travel card.
If it's purely for nostalgic reason, then the 2100 is a good performer. The DIN sockets are however a downer. You'll have to make up your own DIN to PHONO adapters or fork out on ready made ones. If it is for budget constraints reason, I would suggest hanging out for something better and more convenient.
Thanks Stanley. Just wondering.
Bearing in mind the costly mods to bring them up to HiFi standards these days, they should be a low-finish too :eyebrows:Quote:

Ferrograph 'Logic 7' running with Dave R name written all over it
Just tried the Rogers LS1's I picked up the other day for £25 and flippin 'eck! no speaker you can buy for this small amount of money has any business sounding this good! I don't say this lightly, but I am willing to bet they would give a lot of very expensive stand mounts reason to fear ebay....
EDIT. I am truly flabbergasted by these small stand mounts. No way did I think when I ordered them as 'spares' or maybe to use in the kitchen that they would sound anywhere near as good as they do. I am truly shocked.
Has anyone seen the Tannoy Canterbury SE's I have on E-Bay just now ?
I am selling them for a friend who is emigrating very soon and can't take them with him. They are as new with full packing etc, never played loud, classical music only and in a smoke free home. A truly lovely pair of speakers and I wish that I had the room for them myself.
The retail price is approx £14K but he would like £6K only for a quick sale with collection from the Bristol area.
Contact me radlettaudio@hotmail.co.uk
If you think the LS1 is good, wait till you hear the larger ones from this range ;)Quote:

Nice one steve, nice sounding & looking speaker aswell without the grills on anywayQuote:
