Could we be heading for a record price here. A boxed original Goldring Lenco GL75. This ends in an hour and is bid up to £190 so far. It will no doubt go higher!

Would be interesting to know what the lucky buyer's intentions are with them :)

Also, the seller has had some questionable moments, I contacted him some years back about attempting to flog a pair of HPDs as as Gold, he basically told me to naff off and blocked me from his listings. Seems to be more established now so has perhaps learned to behave himself but I'd still be cautious.
Having owned 15" Reds and Golds, and used them in the same Lockwood cabinets, I know where you're coming from, Tom - and of course there's a reason why I swapped the original Reds for Golds....
The Reds are more one-trick ponies, *but* what they do well (midrange lucidity) is stunning, and significantly better in that area than Golds, which in turn are significantly better in the bass. It's pretty much horses for courses, including the amps you use with them, in order to get them to sing, and most importantly the music you're into.
Ultimately, for me, as I'm into such a wide and varied amount of music, Golds were the more versatile :)

Has anybody got any experience, and are there any known problems to be cautious about.
I'm seriously looking for a good Japanese turntable/arm with a detachable SME type head shell for about this sort of price or cheaper
This might be of interest to the Bowie fans. He could of made an effort with the listing title though :mental:
