This didn't sell for £50 but looks like it has a bid for £25 second time around - I'm glad as I love these decks!Originally Posted by struth
Just in case anyone fancies bidding, the seller says it needs a new stylus and you MUST use the correct one for the track selection to work. LP Gear in the USA have originals for $120 or their own version for $40

Apparently these Tannoy CPA6, small, plastic, general purpose public address speakers are a "vintage classic" and there's "nothing better than these". What a dick.

Whilst I agree the seller is overstating the case somewhat, they're not actually 'plastic general purpose public address speakers'. They are actually Tannoy-badged versions of the GLL Arena speakers that were originally designed as a 5.1 channel setup with a passive subwoofer.Apparently these Tannoy CPA6, small, plastic, general purpose public address speakers are a "vintage classic" and there's "nothing better than these".

These have GLL's ICT driver and a solid moulded cabinet and are surprisingly capable.

I know they use an ICT driver. Those are OK, but I've not found them wonderful, having had a couple of pairs of Imagios. I didn't know the CPA6 was part of a 5.1 system, I thought it was used in a similar context to the 'i' series (some of which also have tacky plastic boxes, with awful colourations, like the i6).
The eBay listing is nonsense nonetheless.

Hehehe… That’s the bit that matters, and what makes doing all the rest worthwhile!
Let’s face it, modifying T/Ts (of any description) isn’t exactly new - we’ve been upgrading the likes of PSUs, tonearms, mats and plinths on T/Ts for years. Look how much, for example, the LP12 has changed since it was first introduced. Compared with a new one, I don’t think there’s much (if anything) left of the original!
The same (even more so) could be aimed at Regas, and various other T/Ts, so it’s not only Techies that folks replace things on from standard
