Bargains on ebay?

[Rare Bird]

PRECISELY... It's called combining the BEST of old and new technologies, in order to get the BEST of both worlds! My entire system has been (very successfully) built around that concept!!

I fully understand what your saying Marco. However i would'nt spend money modding a 'G800' styli when the '900IGC' sounds tons better to my ears in standard form..

You see i refuse to pump money into cartridges when the styli packs up (cos im poor see ), it's cheaper & easier to buy a sandard styli, so you can fully understand the better in standard form is important.. Since the ADC is the best MM cart ive ever heard, it makes perfect sence for me to stick with it for both the SQ & cheapness to run, that reminds me i need to stock a few Styli for it..

[Rare Bird]

Ah well i thought i'd won a mint issue of Floyd's 'Atom Heart Mother' tonight, bid £22.00 but got blasted out the water with £72.00 hence not a bargin,on that note why did i mention it

No argument there, dude!

I just love unearthing (and then promoting) vintage 'giant-killers', which when suitably modded, 'get it right up' today's overpriced, so-called, 'high-end' bollarkz....

The transformers and choke alone probably are as they are very high quality and are built like battleships, unlike those found in quads and leaks

That's what i have been told the Leak trannies arn' t the best once they go go pop you ain't going to find another, the asking price it's always a gamble on something this old, and are you getting 3 grands worth of sound for a pair that's very debatable as we well know

[Roy S]

Got a pair of Wharfedale Diamond 7.2s for £8.50! (tinsel was extra) they've replaced the Mission 761s in the Dining room system

[MartinT]

An excellent find, Roy!

[Jonboy]

was this a bargain ?

Ortofon arm

was this a bargain ?

Ortofon arm

No - £200 would have been a more realistic price.

[Barry]

Well thought I'd take a punt. Never thought I'd win but I did!

Just have to go and fetch them now...

Nice on Ali!

Lived with a pair for about 6 months, some forty years ago. Not the most neutral of speakers, but excellent attack and dynamics.

The speakers had a high sensitivity, so only a few watts were needed. Used with Quad II amps and a Sugden A21.

[Ali Tait]

Yes, a good price indeed. Have managed to persuade him to take the drivers out and post them to me. Saves the long drive.

Might try another OB if I can find a bass helper that will match for a sane price.
