The prices in Germany for the Sony ES amps is higher again I think :rolleyes:
Dont think the es are much better than the qs. certainly not 4 times.lol. ps brian mine is singing well now its getting a lot of use. The speaker problem has been fixed too.
T & A speakers, transmission lines. Quite near to me too. Anyone know if they are any good? - T&A in general, I mean.

Agreed Grant . The Sony QS amps are excellent . I'm glad it's all coming together mate . I'll have to get over soon , now that the holidays are over . I'll phone and make an appointment :DQuote:

Oh dear! The drivers are certainly worth a Lowther trade-in, but those cabinets are f*cked. :doh:
Look like junk to me.:)
The Lowther 'new for old' service is actually a pretty good deal, and a new pair of those drivers sell for good money.Quote:

£258 a driver is the new for old, so 500 quid for new drivers. Thats about half price I guess. But you would need to build new cabs as well.
...or punt them on ebay.Quote:

Hmm, I must look out for a QS amp and give one a try.Quote:

Does look a bit tatty, at least it's a later one and not too bent. The heatsink looks intact. He has another 303 for sale too, same sort of state.Quote:

Decca C4E Mk.IV elliptical FFSS cartridge.
Obviously causing some interest. The bidding is up to £411 and the listing ends tonight. Could it set a record for an FFSS?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1619365367...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
I'd certainly like it, but not at that sort of money, even though in sound terms it's probably worth it (they sound fantastic).
Think I'll stick with the Mk.III ellipticals I have :).
Grab a bargain?
There's a very good second hand British CD player offered on eBay with an incorrect listing title and it's not attracting much attention. I won't show it on here for obvious reasons, but if anybody is in the market for a nice player at hopefully around the £300 mark, PM me and I'll send a link. It's worth about £750 and ends in three days.
aw have a heart geoff,the seller might be down on his luck and need funds.
Knowi!g Geoffs tastes its probably a MERIDIAN

The guy who's serviced it is a legend in the London Decca community.Quote:

Located in Teddington. These are a proper collectors item: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PAIR-of-KE...8AAOSwFqJWi88U
(looks like the B139 bass drivers are later replacements. The originals would have had white foam surrounds)
mission 774 tonearm,these are getting pricey now

and if you want a spare wand.

I just LOVE the look of this vintage T/T: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Delphon-GS...3D321970494728
Bet it would be a stunning thing to play my mono jazz and classical recordings on! :)

It has a sharp tip
I predicted these great arms would get focused on by vinyl enthusiasts eventually, after not being on the radar for a good while. They are seriously good sounding and work with any type of cartridge. Prices will keep rising.Quote:

Good job I've stocked up on just about everything I'm likely to want (might get another certain power amp though, before people latch onto how good they are ;)).
He also builds his own carts, award winning carts. I've seen his workshop. It's chaos lmao.Quote:

I think I've seen this one for sale before. A couple of years ago you'd have likely got one for £100. I reckon this could go for £400 to £500, might be a fraction less as it's collect only.
I paid £25 for mine, but it was years ago.
At least a couple of times. The arm always attracts discussion.Quote:

This DAC ran circles around my Theta DS Pro Progeny and that was a damn good unit.
