One for Dan The Man if it can be picked up.

I remember the Panhard in your avatar Andr'e. Pretty car, one of the last they made if I recall. There used to be one local to me as a lad. Two stroke I believe. There was also a Borgward Isabella nearby. Not seen either type for over forty years.
Yeh the name disapeared about 1967. Blame Citroën :rolleyes:
A rare 'S' version of the 'Focus One'

Look like the Rhodium plated ones they used to Manufacture

Don't worry. A couple of guys in a white van will pull up outside your door a few minutes later after you have received the delivery. They'll inform you that the item was delivered to the wrong address and that they are there to pick it up.Quote:

Sonab OA-5 vintage omnidirectional speakers in decent condition. These are quite nice sounding. No bids yet, starting price of £100.
In London, ending shortly.

Ive been thinking about Omni Speakers for a while, i recon i'll probably end up with a pair, im in a very small room where speaker placement is a no no, beside im not a fan of yer general forward facing units..
Did you know Tannoy made an Omni Loudspeaker in the early 70's..
That'll be a fiver loike..
I think those small cone tweeters were Peerless and sounded pretty good.Quote:

I always fancied a pair of Akai 'NDS-80' omni's misen

Hi All!
Anyone had experience with these:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/191511813979...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
I am looking for something non-fatiguing (i currently have Ushers and i can say they are too fatiguing for me, even though i have tried many sources and amps)
This Belden screened mains cable looks decent:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-BELDEN...item51c557dc4d
I may try a few metres.
At £15 a metre! :eek:
It's good stuff, but I now generally prefer using thick gauge solid-core cable for mains leads. Makes sense, as that's what's in the wall already (with twin & earth), and plus it sounds better, to my ears, than multi-strand, except in low-current applications, such as with CDPs and small PSUs :)Quote:

It can be a PITA to solder/work with, but after that, I just find that the finished solid-core mains leads bend into whatever shape you want them (kind of like heavy-duty wire wool), so I don't find their stiffness a problem.
Better stiff than floppy, I say (and Tabatha agrees)! :eyebrows:
Marco.
Not referring to the workability i am referring to the factors such as you need a lot of space behind equipment, you cannot use short runs etc..No excess leads on my gear they have all be tailored for neatness, it's not possible with a stiffy :eyebrows:
Hehehe... No worries.
I can use short runs because the dedicated mains for the hi-fi is directly behind my system (no more than 1m away from the kit), which has plenty of space behind it, so I can arrange everything neatly. Therefore, 'stiffies' aren't a problem. Mine have nice thick 'bell-ends' (plugs) on them, too! :D
Marco.
i hope you give em a good polish on a regular basis :eyebrows:
Yesh, they get buffed to a shine with a big wire brush... Oi loikes pain! :eek: :eyebrows:
