This means little in every day use terms though, as the sensitivity is likely to be in the mid nineties (decibels) or even higher bearing in mind the 3ohm impedance, so you'll never get them loud enough to hurt them. The WAD will work with them. Possibly best on a 4ohm tap if you've got one, but it certainly won't hurt the amp.Quote:

Shock, Horror Probe..... you'll have to sell a pair then, :eyebrows: which ones though???
If you just fancy try some high sensitivity full range sixties drive units, I might have something interesting and decent going for a song.
Geoff did you get your 'mystery' speakers? If so what are they ??
No. All may be revealed as and when (and if).;)Quote:

Guys! Anyone around Lewes that can personally pickup something for me? :doh: ta!
Surprised no-one's picked up on this. Supposedly unused ADC25 with 3 styli. $7.50 with four hours to go:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ADC-25-Stere.../151716252679?
might be because unused includes obvious wear on the cartridge pins and mounts.. not to mention the dirt around 2 of the styli tips. I'm not a cynic though.. "Untested" doesn't mean there will be no output from the cart at all.. :eyebrows:Quote:

Not sure about the deadline but I think there's some margin to it.
i went to £50 on it and with 7 seconds to go i thought it was mine for £4.64! it went for £78 in the end.Quote:

no worries mate,£50 was my max. enjoy :)
Should have bid more Jamie. I did reckon near £100. Never mind, at least Barry will be happy! :)Quote:

yes you did,to be honest it would have been a luxury and my logic was that perhaps i might turn my cash towards a new turntable re the cable dressing thread as that play is only going to get worse. :(
Audiolab 8000A "the best amp ever made" apparently.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AUDIOLAB-8...item3aaab75f75
Strange, 'dull and mediocre' would have been my description.
wow, wonder if I can 400 quid for my one owner.
(must remeber to speel check my ad tho)
:doh:
I never liked the amp either and could never work out why all the magazines at the time raved about it so much...Quote:

They still seem to fetch silly prices though.Quote:

Its the name I think that sells them. I have bid on the ones we discussed yesterday. the guy is German I think. Look like I may get em. he thinks they would be fine as the impedence will change in the box etc and likely go up towards 5/6 ohms... their nominal 8 watttQuote:

I've won a few goodies with it.
Here's a rare but rather good CD player. The NAD 524. It was well reviewed when released. I bought one. It makes a decent transport too. At £49 'Buy it Now' this is worth having.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NAD-524-CD...item23532cb223
I used to use one Geoff. forgot which now and yes Its not really unfair although annoying if your on the receiving end. but if you really want then you have to bid higher. No one has touched them since they've been on and thats a while now. he said himself that the drivers are pretty much unknown over here but are rated highly in Germany. Might have cut my throat by publishing it here but its only fair I suppose.
Used to use a nad cd/dvd player for years and it was very good.. clunky to use but sounded super. still got it but its needing a laser.Quote:

No No. :nono: They are not great. Although not as awful as their bigger brother in the series, the D200 (see my list).Quote:
