Whilst it may be true that they aren't now rated highly sonically, the Hydraulic Reference turntables were nicely engineered. And when I replaced my Thorens TD150 with the HR back in the 70s,...

Yes it is still available.

Yes I have it. It is in good working order as far as I can see, and in good physical condition too. I have had to restick some of the button trims, the metal front bits, but they look as new now.

I'll keep an eye out for it, but I am at a loss to know where it could be that I haven't looked. Sorry.

It is a DH-220, but sorry, it seems to have gone. Either my wife hid it at some point, or I gave it to someone, but I cannot find it. I had a good look for it recently, but it is the only item I...

The Sugden works very well, although I believe it has some work done on it. I bought it second hand some years ago, and have no history for it. The case is scuffed, but could be made pristine with a...

They are both in very good condition. Both are in use currently, although up to a couple of months ago they were both stored away.

One is a stock production model which the company gave me when I...

Yes, I have both, although I am somewhat conflicted about selling either...

But I do need the money.

I know I should put photos in, but a hell of a lot to deal with at the moment..

Financial considerations require that I finally sell some of my audio equipment,

First up is a 1975-ish vintage Hydraulic Reference. I have arm boards for SME and Grace, and have the two arns...

On a general point re Michell, I have a Hydraulic Reference which I bought in the mid 70s, passed on to my brother-in-law a few years later, and which returned to me last year after his passing. Not...

OK, to hold up for East Anglia, Adnam's bitter is a good beer to drink with a meal, or without a meal. Best pint I ever had was at the Nelson in Southwold, but it's good most places in Norfolk and...

I am surprised to hear people comparing the Pioneer PL12D and similar to Regas.

I remember way back opening up the first PL12D we had, and thinking "Wow, this will kill Garrard AP76 (maybe even...

Ah, JR149s. Reminds of my old "4 cylinder" system back in the day. Jr 149s, plus Lecson AP1x power amp and a Jeremiah Braithwaite cylindrical MC preamp (designed by Stan Curtis). I used to have...

Occasionally, if you are very lucky, you can get Harmony remotes very cheaply. If you only need no more than 4 item control, look out for the 300, one of which I bought on Play.com for a tenner. At...

I have had some experience with this type of thing, and currently use two Popcornhour NMTs (which will handle most common file formats for audio, video and photos), one in the living ropom, the other...

Thanks for the welcome.

It's amazing what you guys have. I'd forgotten all about stuff like the DCM Timeframes for instance. I have reasonably fond memories of those, although not the most...

It is Norwich, Norfolk, UK. I went back to UEA to do a degree (Film and American Studies) recently, and the UCLA year was part of that.

Hi Jonathan

I have tried to reply to your PM, but cannot see any evidence of it having actually being sent. No messages in Sent Items. Maybe I haven't been a member long enough yet.

I'm actually Doug. My user name is a derivation of my initials and UCLA, where I recently spent a year studying film.

I used to work in the trade (REW, Pioneer, Marantz etc.), and wouldn't mind...

Strangely enough, it's my first day here, and I did know Bob Yates and Be Yamamura back in around 1981. I bought an Audionote M7 from Studio Beco, and sold a couple of others for them. I do have a...
