Just won this at a good price. I already have it but the cover is damaged & i have a loud click on side one so hopefully i can make a near mint issue with this Cover & Record & my original Obi Strip booklet etc. Sound quality from this Japanese issue is miles better than ours imho. This usually goes for around £80

Yeah bit of a steal that is.
Just need a mint 'Animals' LP that is the problem LP cos it's cost lots of cutter mi bruvver
I've got a UK original pressing can't recall how long ago I bought it or what I paid. Twenty-od years ago. Bit of minor damage in one corner of the sleeve that's all. The disc is mint. My favourite Floyd Lp by a margin.
Ive got £56 on one at the mo
My Rock LP collection consists er Mint Full sets of the below, one day they will all be Japanese Vinyl editions :eyebrows:.... The rest of my collection is made up of far too many Trance 12"ers but this is an illness i just keep buying them in..

Perfect working order it says and is probably right then, nothing to believe otherwise from the photos. Having said that, some people don't notice when a coles tweeter doesn't work. Confusing thing is it says the drivers were replaced by spendor, yet the photos show the originals which I very much doubt Spendor would provide - perhaps these photos were taken before they were replaced and now have the later mid/bass drivers. Shame I've already spent my disposable income for the month - best leave the rest for rent etc I suppose :(Quote:

Yes the postage is a bit high alas at 60 quid
Hardly surprising. The drive units must weigh over thirty pounds on their own.Quote:

A bit of spit & silver foil took the surface blemishes right off and it looks mint. Bearings are very free with no slack. The counterweight carrier stub needs tightening, but that's all. Just the job really.
is that an lvv? looks to be purfect, and good price
Yup. Says LVV on top in the piccie.
It's for use with my Connoisseur BD1 TT, which I have yet to refurb and build a plinth for. I've got to sort a suitable acrylic lid out before I know how big the plinth is going to be. I've got a few tucked away. It's just a back up TT project. I like the BD1s, despite some making rude comments about them. They can sound very good if set up well.
The 'A60' is too expensive
Those Tangents are Audax/KEF driverz
:lol: Aye it's not on Geoff. I always liked them..Quote:

2 monos usually do 350. the other stuff will up the price a fair bit...but maybe 550 or600 would be reasonable. if it were id likely buy it:eyebrows:
Just won this for £36. not too shabby, and is a good cart
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2013163129...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
hey grant, re the AT95SA,do you fancy a loan of my HE stylus for comparison?
I do have a spare at95 cart which is brand spanking. I only took it out of the packing a couple of weeks ago to check something, so I could mount it in the spare cherrywood headshell and try it for you if you want.Quote:

cheers mate. :)
