Pah - it's only 250wpc :zzz: ... my speakers are rated up to 400w
No neighbours. Wifey is cool with amps.
I might need a forklift truck to move it, though. :(
400 watt speakers lol! My telefunkens are rated 8 watt...go plenty loud
Rated up to 400w.Quote:

Some of the best sounds I've heard have come from systems using maybe 20 watts. Big amps give control, scale and authority with matching lowish efficiency modern speakers. Big power 'impresses', but does it deliver music?
Oops - the Rowland auction has gawn - probably a scam! :doh:
i may one day ask you if I could put this quote in my sig. :cool:Quote:

Tannoy J95
STATUS - SOLD

Description :
The Tannoy J95 ia a tall, floorstanding loudspeaker finished in real wood veneers. The cabinet size and construction together with the driver configuration produces a fast accurate bass with good dynamic response and low overhang. Additional damping and mass loading is facilitated by a space at the base which may be fill with dry sand or lead shot. By reducing the centre of gravity this, together with the floor coupling spikes, keeps the speakers from rocking and thus reducing the dynamic quality of the system.

Any bets as to how much this Goldring G88 will fetch?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1316409493...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
The arm looks like a Decca FFSS/Garrard headshell 'mongrel'! :D
It's not the tidiest example, but I reckon there'll be a mad scramble of bids right at the end and it will sell for around £400.
500 maybe...
Could be. I'm thinking maybe a bit less, as it needs a tidy. Nice TT though. I had one.Quote:

Just Bought a dinky little Denon UPA F88 for £21.50 :) Should be alright for another bedroom system as the sony i bought was F***D..:steam: but sent it back :)
My brother had an arm same as that for many years, worked pretty well.Quote:

Hard to believe no-one has snapped these beauties up...

I like the look of this NAD receiver also - looks a bit like some of the Marantz receivers I've seen

Pioneer PD-S505 Precision CD player. Less than a day to go and only bid to £46 so far. Could be a bargain. These sound lovely, I've got two and they sound as nice as my Meridian 507 that cost nearly thirty times as much.

JBL 4410s in a neglected but saveable state. Assuming the drivers are ok - and there's enough spares included to be confident of getting one good set out of them all - these can be restomodded into very serious speakers. I restored a pair a few years ago to excellent effect.
You need to:
Reinforce the cabs internally - anywhere you can feel cabinet talk when they're playing put a strut in. And chuck away the fiberglass wadding.
Solder all push connector connections, rear terminals, speaker and crossover.
Dampen the metal port tube so it doesn't ring anymore - I used bike inner tube.
Attend to any driver issues.
Do all this and they're twice the speaker.

Lent to my parents, I still often hear the pair I did. They replaced Bariks in their system, the Bariks now in the conservatory wringing out the wee wee. Hung off the end of a good amp these are outstanding speakers.
Technics amp, I have one in silver, quite like it:

Tannoy System 800 speakers in London. Ending in half an hour. £149 opening price and no bids so far. Could be a bargain These are lovely speakers! I've had three pairs.

this adc accutrac 4000 turntable looks interesting although it could be bust, anybody have any experience of this deck?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ADC-ACCUTR...wAAOSwI-BWI8xR
Well, I must like them as I'm on my third and I love it! They're great fun to use and although they have a reputation for terrible unreliability, in my experience this is largely unfounded. People tell tales of the two ASICS that run the whole thing dying but I have never come across this. The only troublesome parts can be the photoelectric sensors for the arm - on power-up, the deck goes through a cycle to position the arm on the rest and reset itself, so that the control system 'knows' where the arm is. If one of the sensors fails, then it cannot complete this cycle and will sit there unresponsive.Quote:

I'm not tempted by the ADC, I just thought it looked interesting and not a silly price so if you are interested why not put an offer in.
Mainly because I already have 25 turntables, and one of them is already an Accutrac 4000.... :oQuote:
