Let's see what a lesser condition pre=power would have gone for: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=200576570949
More missed bargains from my watch list:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=140509496665 Soundcard with DSP so good for running software synths etc plus 4 channel digital in/out
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT Really want to try out a good Supex and this Linn had it's one boxed - would have been well looked after.

Did you notice that the seller was another Dalek?
Yes, I did - which was quite appropriate for a pair of squat speakers with a lot of circular embellishments!Quote:

CLUCKING MUNT!!!!!
been watching an amp I desperately wanted for 5 days - all of a sudden on the last day the seller decides to slap a low BIN price on it and it's sold immediately.
Very suspicious :steam:
Maybe I should have emailed the seller and asked him to name a price despite the fact bidding had already been started.
If im desperate i always start the bid off, they can't alter it then & gives em some sort of incentive to keep it running. I'm kinda lucky in the fact that my obsession with a select few vintage items that don't seem to have been pulled into to the stupid money sector.Quote:

I just had an auction pulled that I was winning - fuming! I bid on the first day (and bid big, my top price) - others had bid too, 5 in all - then suddenly the auction ends. The guy has clearly had an offer and accepted it, but just said he has ended the auction and won't tell me why. His ad said nothing about ending the auction early. Pisses me off big time! :steam:
(Just hope he got a lot less than I was prepared to pay for it!!

Anyone looking for some good speakers this might be worth a punt I not heard the 10" but according to the Hawthrone forum has a similar sound to mine without the scale so imagine them to be great with most music but perhaps not ideal for high energy rock
What I can say for sure is the after sales service is really good and no doubt Darrel would help with any questions
Well i got pip't to the mark by someone for an amp tonight, seems the seller got offered a price & took it,must have been literally 5 mins before me.. this amp is very thin on the ground nowadays especially in this colour, i have a feeling it maybe a certain poster that comes around here every now & then :lolsign: swine, i'll wait see if he mentioned it & offer him twice what he pais :eyebrows: I've actually stopped mentioning listings on AOS cos it can be damaging aswell as killing a potential bargin for someone..
If i'm not interested in whatever it is i may well mention it. If i am i won't :eyebrows:Quote:

Maybe we need a private members only area to discuss stuff like that?Quote:

Anyway i've just had word back from the seller of these beauties http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT that he will not post or allow courier collection, it's a tad too far for me
This is just a thought but i feel a lot of hifi enthusiast these days don't know anything about old hifi, it's like a minefield to them & rely on slack gobs to guide them. I think Peace Dave (DSJR) mention & he is totally right that the reason prices are rising is cos people can't keep their gobs shut.. :lolsign:Quote:

no sugars in mine....:lolsign:
... look at what time that listing finished before you start making wild accusations! ;)
anyway ... back in front of the pc now, so must dash... :)
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...tchlink:top:en
Oh, I want it, I want it, I want it!
Me too :)
iT WILL GO FOR SILLY MONEY
You can afford it, Barry.... Go on, treat yourself! :)Quote:
As long as it's in full working order (I haven't read the ad fully), I have no doubt it'll be wonderful.
Marco.
The TT can be very good with some fettling I understand.
I could do with the Sony '3140F' power amp & 'SQD2020' Decoder, wtf are things always the other side of the country from me :(Quote:

Nice one Andr'e - how does the A compare with the B in terms of performance? Is the B just 'more modern'?
No Nick, the 'B77' is a bigger & different machine.. I do prefer the silver 'A77' of the MkI & II, but i'm hoping to take it upto the MkIV level in other areas...Don't know what the heads are like on this one till i get my hands on it but i can (if their not too bad) get them re lapped cheap enough, but i am considering some brand new heads at some point..I don't actually like the later 'A77' & 'B77' aesthetics..'B77's are way out of my proggy time zone anyway ;)
It landed yesterday, i've never seen an amp so scruffy internally, it's come up a dream now but blimey, i suppose thats the joys of large Ventalation slots i suppose. I must tidy that PCB up when i recap it, it's very untidy.Quote:
Did you win the Trio? Nice little amp for peanuts.

It needs a shave. :)
I've given it a blow job instead :eek:
The dust monster sure did take a dump in there lol
Why do listings always end when your at the boozer, when some cock with more money than sence always wins the item? :steam:
What did you miss Andre?
Why, what's Marco bought this time? :scratch: (Sorry dude - couldn't resist! ;))Quote:

1st off who the hell want's to pay over £400 for a mono sub amp that should come with the JR Super Woofer but doesn't, and secondly if you have the sub you will already have the amp, so who the fcuk is going to buy it:scratch:

Seems to be, if it's old and is associated with Rogers people assume it will fetch a good price, the market for that amp must be practically none existant, you would have to have the Super Woofer to have any use for it, and those little amps are well built, simple and easy to fix if they go wrong, so the question still stands "apart from Marco, who the fcuk would buy it":scratch:Quote:
