I've had one. It's nice enough, but I wouldn't pay that much. That's going into 1200/1210 territory. (actually, I reckon I could buy my old one back for about £80. My mate has it and doesn't use it).Originally Posted by struth

Spotted those earlier. Nearly bought a pair from Radlett Audio many years ago. I know they are well regarded and probably worth a go!

That was my thoughts Geoff. He had it at £400 originally. Nic enough deck but way over priced ime, and yours too. At £80 its a very good buy though I'd have thought. Not a bad deck.
As for the Alberys yes I think they will go a fair bit higher. Always liked their stuff, especially with the cranberry

Not on ebay but I saw this Timestep PSU for sale on DIYAudio.com for $285 (so in the US - check if voltage change can be done internally):
http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/swap-...pply-unit.html
Yes, has been for sale since Oct 2013 but the guy just bumped the advert so is still for sale.... I'd guess with import and shipping you'd still get it for less than half price of a new one, especially with a bit of haggling.

Very tempting but I would perhaps proceed with caution!
The seller hasn't sold anything for a long long time (so ripe for an account hijack) and their previous sales have been old clothes and the odd bit of kitchen appliance. A search of one of their previous sold items http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170823134077 was in 2012 (so shows how inactive they are) and was collection only..
Now the seller is instisting on PayPal (a lot easier to run away with the money with PayPal) rather than collection only and is offering free postage on such heavy heavy amps.
Previous sale used normal writing, the new one uses CAPS only and in italics.. it rather odd.
The seller says this: "INCREDIBLE SOUNDING WITH MODEL ONE OR MY MODEL SEVEN OR MAC C30 IN 40 WATT MODE OR 20 WATT TRIODE MODE "
- so they are claiming to have a Marantz 7 and old Mac stuff too - this sounds like a copy and paste description from a rich enthusiast from elsewhere on the net, not someone selling some old topshop clothes and a used breadmaker for £11 based in Hillingdon.
Let's do a search for some of the description text and see if any old sales come up!

Good deductive reasoning there SamI was too busy drooling to consider such things but I'm not a buyer - just browsing really.

I'm too much of a cynic when it comes to rare collectable items on ebay with an ethusiastic following.. Couldn't find the photos elsewhere on the net via a quick google seach though , nor the description text. Then again Google didn't pull up that auction listing either with some of the text in quotes as the search.
