I love Unipivots they have an openess to the sound..
I thought I'd give unipivots a go. I think it should go okay with my Shure VSTV. I'll have to get it to work first.
I was bidding on a Nitty Gritty as well, but the description has gone from having the pump removed to being virtually stripped out inside, so I'll give it a miss and save up for an RCM.
Whats the compliance of that VST-V?
I can't remember the figure, but it is quite high compliance.
If it's a simular spec to the 'V15/V' it's not that high a compliance..Quote:

Just won four of my favourite NOS 6SL7 tubes on ebay:

Four for £125 is not bad, especially when I've seen them for sale, as NOS, at 'premium outlets' for £60 EACH!
I'm well chuffed, and that's me done buying valves now for quite a while :cool:
Marco.
nice colour bases, look nice shining in the copper
I know, dude, tell me about it - been there too often! :doh:
However, I've learned there are ways around that ;)
The GE 5691s are best sounding 6SL7s I've heard. Next best are the RCA VT229s, which I also use in the Croft. I've now acquired a nice selection of both :)
Marco.
Guess not then.Quote:

Much will depend on the quality of your MM phono stage, but knowing the signatures of both the Nagaoka and the Ittok, the synergy should be good.
Therefore, I'd snap it up, as it's somewhat of a bargain :)
Marco.
I think i'll start a ''What's your fav cartridges of all time'' topic, i must say there's not many favs i had.
Go for it, Andr'e.

My Hadcock arrived this morning. I eventually sorted out the wiring problem. This was not helped by the cartridge I put on it seemingly going open circuit on one side since I last used it.
I don't think I've got the arm rest set quite right. I've got it all level and balanced up now with my VST V. The 3009 will be on ebay sometime soon.
These look nice but getting on a bit in price now, be quick
They went at a very modest price ;) Considering they aren't too far off of the performance (bass wise) of some of the huge IMF monitors :eyebrows:
If they were nearer me i'd have grabbed em :)
You should of said Mark, i would of grabbed them for you, only 5 miles away from meQuote:

Anyway :eek:wow:eek: what a difference, the brush itself is quite small and the bristles are carbon fibre and really fine, but the amount of crap it shifted was amazing, it lifted all the loose stuff off the record so the music sounded as good on the last track as it did on the first, a real bargin:)
They're not bad at all Mike, I used one until I succumbed to the Furutech one.
well i'm as happy as a dog with 2 dicks right now :) not only have i got my little brush, but my step father, who is really great at making things, is drawing up plans for an RCM he's going to build me, can life get much better:)Quote:

These are really rather excellent for the money they go for. I love mine.

Any hidden gems in this little lot...?
My sansui could represent a nice bargain should it not get any more interest in the next few hours

Funky speakers!!

.....'exotic' price!!
Am I getting too old or do these seem a little steep http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nagaoka-BN-7-S...item35b1ef0300 i'm sure i could get them a lot cheaper
So many things are far toooooo expensive to my mind. The most expensive part of those mounting screws is the packaging and that is only a few pence.:doh:
Could you imagin a punter coming into your place, asking for some cartridge screws, and you saying " there you go mate £10.50 please" how do these people sleep at night.............on a mattress made of money i'll bet.Quote:

Well, I wouldn't be supplying 'aluminium' screws in the first instance...:scratch:
This is a really nice pre/power for the money, and would piss all over much of the stuff made now (from the days when Technics made top-notch separates):

Love those gorgeous VU meters!!
Great for driving difficult speaker loads, capable of subtlety, too, and they have plenty of balls to rock da house :fingers:
If they go for under £300, someone's got a serious bargain, as they look minto.

Looking at the add you need to be clear with the seller if its just the power amp or both as uses bold red to say just power amp and then goes onto to talk about both units
Possibly a bargain at the moment:

Definitely a bargain at the moment:

Never owned one of these, always wanted to try. My brother bought one when they first came out, been perfect. He offered to give to me a while back, seems to have changed his mind!
Brings back memories, I had the earlier Richard Allan A21
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/JE-Sugden-A21-...item45fa81354b
Matching tuner!
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/J-E-Sugden-R21...item2c5c9dd9f6
Never liked those press buttons Alex ;) , probably the reason i never liked the Leak 'Stereo 70'..
Very nice Luxman integrated still at sensible money.
Have you ever noticed that Google translates the number of bids on German Ebay as 'Commandments'!!!Quote:

Babelfish translates it as "requirements" :lol:Quote:

Marco.
He's replaced the surrounds that rot out on these Vifa units.
Should be good speakers.

Cabinets need some work.
Well made good sounding powerful amp:

One wrong knob on it.
