If he gets £475 I'll eat my cheapest, most digestible hat :eyebrows:Quote:

Radford pre and power amp project anyone???
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-am...item20f94676fc
It's a 'SPA-60' Power. I liked this range they brought out.Quote:

And it's not the only expensive one on eBay. Nuts!
Insanity....:mental:
Look like they might put your windows out...lol.Quote:

Tidy looking vintage Rogers Ravensbourne amp. Bid up to £140 so far and ending soon. They're sort of OK, but I'd far sooner spend a bit less on the better sounding Ravensbrook unit.

i wouldnt pay £140 for one of those. i was hard set on getting £75 last month for mine.
A real bargain! Job lot of twelve 8 ohm midrange horn drivers and 42 piezo horn tweeters, just been used for display. £30 for the lot. Dirt cheap!!

They may be cheapo units but they have to be worth more than that.
Quite an attractive TT although no idea if its any good. direct drive though and only 22 pounds so far

It's a lightweight plastic jobbie Grant (bet the platter weighs about the same as a milk bottle top). OK maybe for under forty quid I'd suppose. Not more I'd say (mind you the Nag cart is OKish).Quote:

Kelvin mono blocks...nice.
I've had one. It's nice enough, but I wouldn't pay that much. That's going into 1200/1210 territory. (actually, I reckon I could buy my old one back for about £80. My mate has it and doesn't use it).Quote:

Lovely pair of Marantz Model 2 valve monos
very nice looking and appear perfect
Not on ebay but I saw this Timestep PSU for sale on DIYAudio.com for $285 (so in the US - check if voltage change can be done internally):
http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/swap-...pply-unit.html
Yes, has been for sale since Oct 2013 but the guy just bumped the advert so is still for sale.... I'd guess with import and shipping you'd still get it for less than half price of a new one, especially with a bit of haggling.
Very tempting but I would perhaps proceed with caution!Quote:

Now the seller is instisting on PayPal (a lot easier to run away with the money with PayPal) rather than collection only and is offering free postage on such heavy heavy amps.
Previous sale used normal writing, the new one uses CAPS only and in italics.. it rather odd.
The seller says this: "INCREDIBLE SOUNDING WITH MODEL ONE OR MY MODEL SEVEN OR MAC C30 IN 40 WATT MODE OR 20 WATT TRIODE MODE "
- so they are claiming to have a Marantz 7 and old Mac stuff too - this sounds like a copy and paste description from a rich enthusiast from elsewhere on the net, not someone selling some old topshop clothes and a used breadmaker for £11 based in Hillingdon.
Let's do a search for some of the description text and see if any old sales come up!
Good deductive reasoning there Sam :) I was too busy drooling to consider such things but I'm not a buyer - just browsing really.
I'm too much of a cynic when it comes to rare collectable items on ebay with an ethusiastic following.. Couldn't find the photos elsewhere on the net via a quick google seach though , nor the description text. Then again Google didn't pull up that auction listing either with some of the text in quotes as the search.
Found a pair at long last on Ebay. Asking price was £3500. They were good but not that good.:mental:
These paint finish are well done. His user name is quite apt for this place don't ya fink?

Very shiny. bit of a copycat eh?
"sehr gut" Flippin wants to be at that price.Quote:

I had one. Fortunately I paid peanuts for it. It was the most dismal example of an SUT I've ever heard. Weedy, flat and opaque sounding. Just plain dire!
These are not much cop either:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ORTOFON-T5...item339ff675b4
Got the Sony labelled T5's. They were fine for twenty quid.....
Alan reckons the fb should be fine with the cart so will try it and see. There is an upgrade if nes or I can get the one I was looking at Geoff which would be my preferred option. I saw those little orto's a couple of days ago; dont look like muchQuote:

Were they any good? It's about ten mins from meQuote:

Nice. Got to be worth grabbing at the right price. Good TT and the arm is OK with low to medium compliance carts. (I like Thorens, they just do a good job)Quote:

One here for Dan, an upgrade from his 'Durham'

I recon that will go cheaper than you think being pick up only.. That Shure is a nice sounding cartridge i have an 'ED' & 'HE' variant..Quote:
