If I had room for them I'd take them in a flash.... maybe I should buy them and hope my room grows a bit :doh:
There's one shown in the photos in the listing - I guess there are two but the text doesn't say.Quote:

JVC SX-3 II speakers. They look interesting.
I've tried to purchase them a couple of weeks ago but seller refuses to pack even with my offer to arrange my own courier. If anyone wants to indulge they would be a great xmas pressie for me :)
so called ISIS speakers

Yes it's confusing that they sell often in 1,s and sometimes in pairs. Got a chance of some tannoy a too so need to have a check and see what's best for me . It's for a small footprint set up upstairs with a pi
Sounds like a good idea mate. :)
Entering the realms of fantasy? Goodmans Maxim speakers £775! I don't care if they are mint and boxed. They are not worth it!

Last pair I had cost me £6 from a boot sale.

Odd that the photos don't show these with the grilles off. I bet the vinyl surrounds on the drivers have distorted, as they regularly do on old Goodmans speaker units (and EMI ones), regardless of use. They can even detach from the cone or chassis due to shrinkage.
Two items ending shortly.
A pair of Tannoy Ascots. Are these a sleeper? Will they attract a bit of mad bidding right at the end? I bought a pair last year for £200. They're a lot better than I expected.

A Mission 774 arm. I reckon this will fly at the end, they are beginning to fetch serious money these days. Fortunately, I don't need it as I'm well stocked up on these. :)
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1118454335...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
I'd buy that arm if I was working, for spares. Folks, these arms are serious bargains, even at the £400 I paid for the one I use at the moment. Somebody buy it!
No work again Ali? Not a good time of year for it. Not that there is a good time. Hope you get sorted quickly.
Thanks mate, though I've not been working since September when I had a heart attack.
Geoff, i notice that the writing on the arm tube is in gold,ive not seen this before? is it an early version?Quote:

Blimey Ali. I didn't know. I hope you're OK now.Quote:

that it may be mate but it wasn't suited to the lp12 ,ie the cable routing and no 90 degree plug. im very happy with the ittok for me it was the right choice for the turntable. doesn;t stop me looking for them on the bay though :eyebrows:Quote:

355 quid. There's no doubting that these are on the way up pricewise. A long overlooked 'goodie'.Quote:

I've had a '774 since 1979 and wouldn't part with it, even for nearly £400.Quote:

Someone told me the other day a Mayware formula IV went for £400 ?
Not that long ago they were about £150. Very happy with mine !

Yes sorry to hear about the heart trouble Ali ... I had a bit of bother myself a year or so back, lots of chest pain and 4 stents in the end, they told me one artery was 95% blocked, the other 99% and I was weeks away from a major MI ... but got through it. The EMF connection is worrying though ....
Would this Valve CDP be any good guys ? (I'm not after it, just curious) :) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AUDIOPHILE...-/321936121402
Thanks Mark and Tom!
Anyone heard of Dean speakers?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-Briti...-/272071038430
They look interesting.
Heard of them, but not heard them:lol: Should be quite good for that price I'd think
Looks in nice shape- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3018276819...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
