Its a lower mass arm than the '774'
I know, but I don't think there a huge amount between them.Quote:

The arm can apparently breathe :eyebrows:
How can an old Philips GZ34 rectifier be worth £208?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Philips-Mi...vip=true&rt=nc
And this one fetched £198
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Philips-Mi...vip=true&rt=nc
Like anything, they are worth what people will pay. :-)
Maybe I should sell some of my Mullards..
I quite like mine but the tweeter is a bit horrid and i can't get them near a wall except in the alcoves, so they're mid forward and a little shouty, no shortage of drive from the Crown amp though, glad you're enjoying yours especially if you have a vinyl set up, all my gears digital so they're a bit bright.
I'll see how i get on with the KLHs, if i like them there will be a pair of Reffc x-overs going begging for you to try if ya fancyQuote:

Yes, I would like to try the up-rated crossovers. I was also thinking of splitting the crossover so that HF and LF could be run at different levels. Yes that tweeter is a bit bright.Quote:

were pioneer pl12D turntables any good? Having read a little on them tonight they seem to be reasonably well regarded as a budget deck. Ive got a project debut 2 but always quite fancied having something a bit more vintage. There is one on ebay 5 mins from me although my instinct says the £75 starting point is a little high?
I would think they'll average more than that in good condition Keith.
Edit.. Just checked ebay past sales and last 4 in good nick went for an average of about 100/110 quid
I've had loads of them. They work well enough and will sound OK, but not outstanding. But for the money they are good enough though, the arm will cope with a budget MC cartridge (but not a high compliance MM) and they just go on forever 'cos they're well built. Just give them a bit of lube and a new belt every year or two. That price looks OK by current standards.Quote:

Absolutely. The arm will handle a reasonable cartridge. My PL112D has a Rega Elys in it and it sounds pretty good. Silly money for the enjoyment offered.Quote:

tannoy DC100 speakers....any good to anyone????
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tannoy-DC-...item20f5f822a7
more Tannoys...rare and fantastic :)
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tannoy-609...59871291&rt=nc
Have you heard these. They and the 10" DC200 are the worst Tannoys I've heard. Coloured, dull and two dimensional I'm afraid.Quote:

Nice pair of Ditton 33's
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CELESTION-...item35e4ed4a3f
They do look nice Al.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ethos-ls5-.../221679887562?
The add says quite clearly that they are Ethos cabs, and Dynaudio drivers. A kind of Diy/kit job me thinks, there is no Ethos badge, only 2 spk terminals rather than the Ethos 4 etc. The 3rd question obviously some interested party has not read the description that well, and seems to think they are Ethos speakers. What i hate is that the seller rather then say look at description again etc, kind of leads the buyer on. iI can understand they want as much as they can get, but for me i find that dishonest and see this sort of thing happen more and more. Nice speakers though.
Look like dynaudio audience 42's with better cabs. if so then they will be quite good. Think they cost $700

I had a pair of the well regarded Dynaudio Contour 1.3 Mk.II speakers some years ago. They just didn't really 'do it' for me, so I bought another pair of Tannoy Eatons, so much nicer.
eatons were nice for the cab size. big drivers. i remember you selling them...didnt last long;)

dont 401s usually go for a lot more than this? or is it the lack of arm thats affecting it?
Without plinth and arm it is still slightly low but I've seen them go for much more too. Been a lot on market so prices are dropping
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1716719278...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
anyone tried these

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/infinity-s...p2047675.l2557
Approx $6000 new. Sold for £650
Not far from neither out my price range but look nice
Crikey, that was a lot of speaker for £649. You'd have needed an HGV to get them home, mind.Quote:

In my book, that's about five times what they're worth. That early AR plastic dome tweeter was not wonderful and the foam surrounds don't appeal. I'd sooner have a pair of AR4Xa speakers and pocket the spare £200.Quote:
