Yes, it was, which is why I decided "sod it" and was hitting the button! Never mind, I'll get one some day!

s'ok i had a simular grinding experience last month with a rare kharki ferro 20/20 amp..i asked the seller if they'd accept a fist full off cash for it, someone got there minutes before with the same idea.. :(

Always fancied a 45 SET amp. Just need to decide whether I buy a kit, a complete amp or have one built from scratch.

The Audio Note looks nice. Any idea of the retail price?

Thanks Jon

I just noticed the amp is "level 3" whatever that is. Could be a polite way of saying loadsamoney.

For somebody near Cambridge, never heard them myself - can be half bad?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Goodmans-Magis...ht_1032wt_1141

Only because he's also selling them on Gumtree for £75 here:

http://cambridge.gumtree.com/cambridge/15/76100115.html

They'll probably end up way more than that on ebay if its left to run. £75 for 15" Goodmans bass drivers and a lot more besides. Got to be worth a punt for someone.

Only 240 units were ever made; making it the rarest item in the Quad stable.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

No idea of its performance (apart from it being 80W/channel), but from a rarity point of view, the buyer got it for a bit of a bargain. :)

My first "proper" hifi speakers, though they were long in the tooth even then in 1985! I do keep almost buying some, just to see how they compare these days. But then I'm scared I will realise the last 25 years hasn't actually seen any improvement! :lol:

I had the single driver Wharfedale Chevins when I was a student. Horribly coloured, but they kept me going until my amp developed an earth problem and melted the voice coils. It did me a favour, really.

Not sure it is a bargain, but it is gorgeous, and a genuine "timewarp" turntable. Bet it sounds crap though! ;)

Wrong thread :doh:

Alex_UK

Apologies to any unsuspecting possible owners or existing owners of the turntable in question (or it's brethren) - my clumsy remark was really just a reflection that kit that usually looks that gorgeous for such a reasonable price (given the condition, it really is "as new" by the looks of it) sounds rubbish - I have no idea how it sounds, so if it is rather good, then it probably is a bargain, as I doubt you'll ever seen one in that condition again...

The JVC X-1 cartridge (Yes I know it sounds like a rocket fuel) was, from memory, pretty damned good.

Not sure if it would be to your taste though Marco.

Very nice indeed. I wonder if the Accuphase provenance could be proved?

Damn i love ebay :) Not exactly hifi but these will be part of some one day ;) Soon i hope to :)

48 capacitors (new) delivered for £67.50 :D

Nearest on RS is just over £8 each & not BHC

Shame they are not a few volts higher! They are borderline for 7v AC windings as smoothers on 5v rails :-(

Perfect for what i want though, i'm looking at a 4.5 - 5V DC rail with high current :) I had to laugh as when i was working things out i forgot that you get two capacitors for £2.50, so i have actually ended up with 132,000uf per rail when i thought i was going to get 66,000uf :D Bonus :)

You'll have volts on the rails for days after switch off lol!!

i know it seems absurd but buying this stuff can push up the value of kit if you are selling and don't have the original boxes anymore, also makes postage a lot easier

I love the 'old school' looks, Jon - kind of Radford-esque.... I reckon that could've been a good one. Nice quality trannies, for starters.

Marco.
