Bargains on ebay?

[istari_knight]

Was it effectively sold or the listing simple ended?

It either ran out of time or the seller closed the listing. If you look here http://www.ebay.co.uk/csc/theholypre...mplete=1&rt=nc

Its red meaning it didnt sell, if it were green then I'd be doing this

Some great stuff in the description:

'This KEF speaker incorporates a tweeter for excellent high-frequency sound reproduction'

Note: If selling a loudspeaker it is always worth mentioning it has a tweeter just to avoid any doubt.

'What’s more, connect an amplifier ranging from 25-200 watts to this KEF speaker for a booming sound effect'

I would prefer to connect an amp of 24 watts or less or 201 watts or more in order to avoid the booming effect but that's probably just me

He does say the " I always try and describe items to the best of my ability."

cut him some slack

You're right, I am very unkind. I do wonder though if the grainy sound is just due to him connecting up some other recycle junk for amplification and source and the speakers are actually in good order. Bargain if you are near to Kettering.

Although I don't know if I like Kettering since I've never kettered (boom - tish).

The ridiculous description is not his and not his fault. That's eBay's onsite product information, god knows where it came from, it reads like a 'Pidgin English' translation.

The "graininess" described will no doubt be due to the tweeter coils binding on dried out Ferrofluid!

Exactly how knackered is this ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/J-A-Michel...item2a2b78297c

Any bits obviously missing/damaged ? [apart from the cables.] enquiring minds want to know

Bearing: spindle looks like it's done a runner.

Not the original platter for starters

Looks like it needs an arm cable, part of a foot and a platter spindle at least.

Is it worth bothering with? The arm is a crap ADC ALT-1, they are pretty dire. The TT was pleasant and looks fancy, but is really no great shakes. I'd sooner have a TD160.
