I was tempted by this 1930's BAF amplifier but missed out. Probably a good thing as I'd have been on an eternal quest to find another. I have seen one other some years ago in poor condition with valves and field coil speaker missing. BAF amps usually used the field coil to provide bias so it's good to see it still with this one.

A pair of what may be Tannoy York speakers. The seller doesn't know how to check. The dimensions and cabinet construction look like Yorks, which means these will likely have 15" Golds in or possibly Reds (but I'm not sure those terminals would be right for Reds). Could be a serious bargain. Shame I don't have the room.

It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

The bidding is moving at speed on this Sansui AU-919 integrated. Up to £390 with over six days to go. Not surprising, it's a lovely bit of kit!

£75 for a Sony TA-70 amp? £7.50 more like. These were the very bottom of the range. Well built, but low spec and cheaply finished.

These Pioneer SE-100 electret headphones are very nice. I had a pair years ago, decent sound.

The cheapest Haddcock 228 (boxed) I've ever seen went for £95 earlier today. 201100046164. Nevermind. I got this recently: 271510576390.
Wonder how James is with his house move.
