The first bite is with the eye ;)
After half a bottle of Chablis, I'm allowed a mis-spelt word or two. Corrigendum facit post hoc.Quote:

Same thing with vintage lenses in their 'original' tubular cases - with often disastrous consequences that only a full strip down and clean can eradicate. I avoid them ......Quote:

Maybe Ortofon used a better quality foam for the inlay of their boxes, which is why Marco's and the eBay seller's boxes are still perfect?Quote:

Gumtree not too far from me, was tempted to enquire to get the Castle speakers (would they be Kendall?) and move the other stuff on but happy with the sound of MS Pageants I picked up recently so won't bother. At this price may already have gone.

look like Kendal.
Were the pageants £20? If so, you beat me to them!Quote:

Suralan could do with all the inspiration he could get. I heard one of these once. Had a Garrard 301 at the time and strangely, I wasn't that impressed with the Amstrad.Quote:

The Amstrad thing gets my 'vomit' vote - an appalling waste of materials and an eyesore to boot (if you get the chance)
I can just picture him yelling the engineers (on the assumption he used such a person) about trying to bankrupt him. Take this off, take that off, reduce this, cut that, all it has to do is go round FFS:doh:Quote:

Pair of WD25As:
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item...obalID=EBAY-GB
Keesonic's in Broxburn
KEESONIC speakers from the late 1970's
Don't know the version and 1 day to go,
collection or own courier
Had 1 bid on them a couple of days ago, managed to get them. They're Super Kubs, not sure about about the woofer (seas?) as I've seen them in a different frame a la Dalesfords but the cutout matches so... Let's see how I get on with them compared to the more usual models.
was gonna buy them but got distracted doh!!! only 5 miles away..nice speakers those...yep they are kubs..good speakerz
5 miles.. Ouch, now I feel bad as I still have to arrange courier with the seller (who seemed a nice bloke)
yep he is. i spoke with him a couple of days ago.lol.. he,ll be thinking im a tyre kicker:doh: he stays in Uphall
enjoy them Felipe
Grant, let me know if you're curious and want to try them for 1 week or 2, he'll be packing them (I think) lol, so I can arrange the courier in due time.
Thanks for the offer Felipe but it would probably be best that you get them from him...i might keep 'em:lol: Think you will like them. i had a pair once and they were super.sould have kept them
Well, I trust you that you would send them to rightful owner when the time comes ehehe :eyebrows: Still in time :cool:
Did you had the regular Kubs or this "Super" model?
It was the ones with the paper tweeter; think they were the best ones as well. Hope you like them, and think they are worth all the trouble of import
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1315517827...1.M1368.R1.TR4
Anyone think I should stick a bid on these?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/QED-Qunex-...item4aecf9de47
Are they worth the asking price?
They are OK, but don't bid more than a tenner. They're cheap cables.Quote:

I still wouldn't pay much though. I have a pair somewhere and they sounded OK.
Not that keen on cheaper QED cables. The Silver Spiral Genesis is OK.Quote:
