Yes, much better :)
The Elac looks interesting, but the 20 mV output would worry me!

In 1957 ELAC patents an electro-magnetic pick-up which established them as a world leader in pickups. They license it to companies around the world including Shure. Further development of this technology led to what becomes known as Moving-Magnet cartridge systems or simply MM. By the late 1960s, ELAC hi-fi magnet pick-ups had tracking forces below 10 mN (approximately 1 gm). :)

I got one of these for £140. They are very very good for the money. Way better Than the 3009 I was using previously.

I've got one of these as well. Same dims as a Rega I believe. Very simple to use with lots of vta. Sound very good with a decent mm.
I'm rather fond of the ADC. Build quality is excellent and I like its simplicity, honesty plus it is a bit of a looker too :cool:
The Hadcock is the better arm, but much more fiddly to set up. 'tis worth it though.
If you want simple set up the ADC is the biz.
Just spotted this on the bay if anyone is interested Item number: 150741301456.No postage offered though
Possibly not a bargain, depending on what sort of an offer seller would accept. But they do look in wonderful condition

Same cones and baskets as my dual concentric BTH's that have a far better sounding mid/high driver.
It's amazing the premium an electromagnet brings. :stalks:

And on top of that Andy, they appear to make fantastic door stops too :D

In orange, too. That'll look fetching on my system rack.
Are these things any use in reality? What do the resident engineers think?
They could work. I wouldn't fully inflate them though. Inflated air wotsits have been used to good effect for isolation.
Would I put one under my deck. No. It looks like a travel pillow.
It's all balls.....?Quote:

These inflatable thingies seem to have a good rep.Quote:

I'd be rather surprised if you could level a TT properly when it's perched on a thing like that.
Anyone tried these interconnects?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Western-el...ht_2291wt_1185
Hi Shane,
They look interesting and decent value for what they are, so perhaps they are worth a punt?
If you do decide to go for them, then make sure you buy both remaining sets, as in terms of achieving sonic synergy (and therefore the best sound), it's always best to have the same make of interconnects running from your source to preamp, and preamp to power amp.
Good luck if you decide to buy them! :cool:
Marco.
Careful, Shane - they're unshielded. Probably ok for line level use but do not try to use them in phono positions.
Good point! CDP to preamp, and preamp to power amp, though, would be fine :)
Marco.
The Mark Grant HD cables do work well with Crofts old and new Shane - I know the constant plug (inappropriate word - apologies Marco ;)) or recommendations for these is boring, but credit where it's well due. I've compared them now with hifi dave's long discontinued and bespoke sooper dooper rare specials and there's not a huge difference between them - IMO of course.
One can never recommend a genuinely superb product enough, Dave! ;)
Marco.
Pair of Castle Acoustics 'Pembroke II' complete with original stands running. Good speakers
I had a pair of those for a few years - I loved 'em.
Aye
Twas the Mk.I i used to have, i loved em too :cool:
A little optimistic?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ultra-Rare...item1e6aed1245
That speaker must rock like hell as I'm sure one of the spikes is not making contact :scratch:
Lower far right is 'floating' in the air. :lol:Quote:

They made quite a difference (as, in my experience, Mana always does) when I installed them, tightening and extending the bass, and improving overall clarity - basically, by allowing the speakers to behave optimally as designed, through them interacting less with the room :)
As for pricing them 'optimistically', the original retail price I think was around £250, and as they are long discontinued and very hard to find now (simply because most people who own them wouldn't part with them), I think that the price is fair.

...for those popular counter-rotation LPs :rfl:
Aye it sure is slightly of 'Axis' :lolsign:
It's for playing all those dark heavy metal records backward to hear the devils message
Massage? Now *that* is intriguing! :eyebrows:
Marco.
lol should have been message :oops:
I totally agree, i'll never part with mine but £632 Bin :eek:, i think he'll be waiting quite a considerable time to sell at that price.Quote:

These look fairly tidy and at a reasonable price with not long to run

I had a pair of 15XRs with the ABR back in the day. (My ex still uses 'em, I think . . .:rolleyes: ). Lovely speakers - warm and full sounding. The Celestion badge on the grill could rotate for when used as a "bookshelf" speaker . . . :DQuote:

The SP25 was my first turntable; way back in 1968. I think mine was the Mk.II; from memory it looked identical to the item for sale.
Oh those were the days when you got a proper well written instruction book with photographs, not the single piece of A4 you get today. The instruction manuals for the Ferrograph reel-to-reel recorders and for the Garrard 301 turntables were hard-back books!
It might be 'new', or unused but storing it in the loft after all these years doesn't seem to have done it any good. The polystyrene inserts used to prevent the platter moving look like they have been damp traps, judging by the corrosion of the chassis.
An interesting piece of nostalgia, but I doubt if it will fetch much. But then again eBay is a crazy place and lately people will pay silly prices.
If anyone wants a couple of SP25's for nowt give me a shout. Want to clear some space in the spare room for more crap/quality hifi.
Ebay,bah.Just won a nice old B&O system on there,then the seller gets in touch,"oh,sorry,Ive already sold it and didnt realise the auction was about to end so couldnt contact you" bastards!!:steam::steam::steam::steam:
