Well, I'm amazed at how little the Radfords I spotted a few days ago went for - the seller had a rather low feedback score, so I don't expect that helped.
That could be just a magnet glued in the top of a plastic tube and a matching magnet repelling it on the top of a shaft, the tube fitting over the shaft. Then just match the strength of the magnets for the weight of the object on top.Quote:

I'm always a bit cynical about 'innovation' on the internet - normally just a bunch of marketing words strung together. Fair play though to those that bother, of course!
Hmmmm....... Everyone is free to use their limited time on this earth as they wish I suppose!Quote:

Yeah, they're the kind of listings to jump on and take the risk(?) and pick up in person so you can check them over first.Quote:

Uh-huh. So it produces 2 x 20W per channel but can take a 12V DC input of 2A - 5A? The 440W 'peak power' is pure Amstrad.
And since when was there a dimension limit to speakers that an amp can drive?
haha, yeah.. Couldn't work out if that was a mistake or not.Quote:

If i were to buy a modern valve amp it would deffo be a Jadis, not only do they look & sound good, the hard wiring layout is excellent
That layout is gorgeous - a work of art in design.

Now that looks proper! I spy the same F&T electrolytic caps used in my Copper amp: http://www.ftcap.de/index.php/electr...apacitors.html ;)Quote:

Jadis are certainly heavy all 1/4 of a ton of them :eek:

Definitely an example of top quality workmanship. The way the components are mountd on the solid core cabling is very impressive. As Martin said, a work of art. Those F&T caps are great. I do believe they make the elco's for Mundorf. Thats what I use all the time in my own kit. Awesome caps ;)Quote:

Must surely be a record for LS3/5a's? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rogers-LS3...torefresh=true
Always fancied a pair but since having the b139 added to the t27 and 110 in the TL I built they always look like something I missing
Nuts.
You could get some stunning speakers for that price.
Just a ridiculous price for two small boxes and 4 drive units. You could copy it for a lot less and with better drivers. Classic hi-fi is getting into vintage watches territory. There are some very rich collectors out there it seems.Quote:

The legend is worth more than the product, l'm afraid.Quote:

If you were to drop on some at a boot sale for a tenner your fear would turn to joy pretty fast :) Time to start checking the local classifieds again I think...Quote:

It does look good..:)
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ry-Cooder-...item27cd58cd86
but a wee bit pricey
This was looking interesting with a few hours to go - but obviously a few others in the know! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/record-pla...vip=true&rt=nc
A very big pair of vintage Tannoys near Birmingham, ending soon, could be worth a shot! (shame the guy can't spell)

Now this I want!!

Remember these? Cambridge P50 integrated amplifier, very highly regarded in its day. And, much as I dislike the term, this is a 'Classic'. (note: five pin DIN connections on inputs) He's selling the matching tuner too.
Ten hours to go and only up to £16.99!
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cambridge-...item257819e39a
I bought one a while ago to match the Cambridge T55 tuner. I just love the low, sleek, slimline looks; slightly 'laboratory-looking' but elegant with it. :)Quote:

Yes, it went cheaply Barry.
I'd have bought it myself, but I've got a thing about my Hi-Fi electronics having to be black!
Geoff.
Nah, I bet a Croft would sound stunning with a KSA200 hung on the end :cool:Quote:

Hi You Two^ :) ,
I'd be interested to hear if you find any sonic (as opposed to cosmetic) benefits from using the wooden feet. I ask because I bought a few some time ago, tried 'em under amps and then speakers, heard no benefits in either location and they are now somewhere in the bottom of a drawer. Hope you have more success :) .
Dave.
