Thread: Wanted - Anything!!

    Default Wanted - Anything!!

    Hi all,

    I am here, cap in hand, on behalf of a friend.

    He is currently setting up a new home after a divorce and has next to nothing. Literally sitting on the floor of his flat, until tomorrow, when he gets a Sofa.

    As he loves music, I thought I would see if anyone here had anything HiFi related that has been teetering on the brink of the bin!

    He only plays CD. I have sorted a CD player out so I am after a Integrated amp (anything audible) and some speakers of some kind. Again, anything in working order, doesn't have to be pretty.

    Thanks

    would need collecting though from brum

    oh and loads of speaker cable
    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

    I'm sure I have some analogue interconnects that I'd be happy to donate.

    Can do some freebie speakers but would have to be collected.

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    I have a Sony TA-VA8ES AV amp which is fantastic in stereo pass through mode. But it is a big lump (massive transformers etc) so would need pick up etc.

    Need to find the remote.
