Bargain universal headshell. Only £2.23 plus £1.99 postqage and remarkably good quality at the price. I've just received one, it's nicely cast rigid alloy and it came with tag wires, two screw on mass weights and two sets of mounting screws. Unbelievably cheap.

(I've just ordered four more, you never know when an extra headshell might be handy. You even get a 99p postage reduction on each extra item)
Does it fit in your tonearm? I bought one of these 'universal' headshells before and it didn't fit my techies or my jvc, think it was from a different supplier though.Quote:

Hmm, for a bargain £99.99 too!

My old Linx amp was a mosfet sounded superb.
DM3s for restoration
Cabinets look good but the coles supertweeters look a bit past it, the EMI bass units look ok though but they can go out of shape and are non replacable surrounds
If you're brave enough to spend a few quid on a decent tuner, then this one here is probably the best thing available at the moment. A bit of a legend really - if you think you've heard a good tuner & you haven't heard one of these, then think again!
If your looking for a musical amp...Give this little beast a try.

I used to own a Hitachi FT5500-II which was also a pretty damn good tuner in its day.Quote:

The price has gone through the roof. Not a bad sounding speaker, but not worth that kind of expenditure.Quote:

If you can get it for under £60, I'd suggest grabbing it. They are going up in value rapidly. Not to mention that they sound rather good, even better with an arm upgrade.Quote:

He's producing quite a comprehensive range of plinths that look to be pretty good quality.
Nope, but they look nice.
Tempted to get one of the 301 plinths.Quote:

I think the clone LS3/5 cabinets are fine but, selling them with Rogers decals on the back may be sailing a little too close to the wind.
Whilst I would agree that we should be wary of scammers and rogues, the fact is they are in in every country, the sellers and feedback should be sufficient to determine whether to buy from them or not.
Also, I happen to have a couple of colleagues from Moldova who happen to some of the most pleasant, honest people you could hope to meet and I found the comment "and from Moldova" a little presumptuous and, although I don't think it was intended, it does come across as a little Xenophobic.
Nice move, dude. Trust me, once you're used to listening to pristine clean records, there's no going back! ;)Quote:

Who made clone drivers with the same hole mountings? Was it SEAS? Crossovers from Wilmslow could complete the project. Hmm, might be nice as near-field monitors for my PC.Quote:

I bet carcasses are available on their own if necessary and the whole thing is around £500 in kit form I believe. An old friend and colleague from the mid 70's is going to have a go at making some, since he has fond memories of his original Audiomaster ones from this period.
