Bargains on ebay?

Does anyone know about these direct drive TT's


JVC

Trio

I'd agree with Andre. The KD500 can be made to sound fantastic, but I don't know if the motor suffers the servo overshoot if your tracking weight ventures too high.. The JVC suffered with its plinth as I remember (a HUGE problem with many of these decks), but modern tonearms and careful siting may fix it.

Snap it up anyway - then offer the parts to your fine friends on AoS. Then if there's anything left stick it on Ebay. Got no sense of entrepreneurship?!!

It's still available and I will view tomorrow. I fancies the amp for myself but not sure if the Denon tuner or Philips CDP would be saleable, what do you think?

I've been trying to put together a cheap system for my spare room\office and last night managed to secure the last component on fleabay an A60 amp which l still have to collect. Would you credit it, today this appears on my local gumtree which would probably have been perfectly acceptable, saved me a few quid and all the hassle of touring the south of England picking up components.http://reading.gumtree.com/reading/50/61646550.html

I think its whats known as Sod's Law

The A60 is a lovely old amp. for LP's, get an old Rega, a good cheap CD player (NAD's - the 5*** models - are pretty good as a breed if ugly as hell) and any reasonable classic speakers will match it

The Heybrook 'HB-1' sound great with the A&R 'A60'

The links show what 2 Very Good ones went for - so bank on making no more than £10-15 on ebay I'd say...

A Rotel RA-820AX went for £36 yesterday B.I.N. - so £40 for the lot is about right, I reckon.

I've reached the same conclusion myself and that any profit was probably going to be in what I could get for the speakers and stands. Not sure it's worth the hassle so I've decided to pass on this one. Also this way I get to keep my knackers, as they would surely be removed if I came home with anymore HIfi gear this month.

The right choice I reckon (I forgot to mention the speakers, but they won't make a fortune) - too much hassle, and the A60 should be a WAY better amp based on the reputation it has. Plus you get to keep your nadgers!

(I'm just hoping the Sony amp I bought for no good reason arrives tomorrow morning when she's at work...)

Not really a "Bargain" but of voyeuristic interest nonetheless... Technics SP15 system
