Is the Sugden C51/T51 in use? How is it powered? Nice to see the Quad gear, but I think the speakers are too close together and should be further apart.

Hi Barry. Yup, the Sugdens are in use and sound great with the 303. Alan (Firebottle) rigged me up a modified wall wart to provide the volts and wired in a couple of phono sockets for output. The Sony APM20ES speakers don't sound too bad there strangely. As the whole unit sits where a fireplace used to be across the corner, there is nowhere else they can go without messing up the entrance to the room. The bedroom is number 2 so it would only be for guest use (unless I blot my copybook of course) so I'm not that fussy about it. It's nice to keep things rigged up and give them the occasional blast.

When I first did it, there were small Tannoys which sat on the top and were further apart. They are now doing duty in the kitchen as the Sonys are so much better.

Sorry to arrive late to this thread: I still use cassette, but mainly to listen to a large collection of spoken word tapes.

For those who do still use cassette, it amazing the quality of cassette deck you pick up very cheaply second hand nowadays. I never thought I'd own a Nak, and certainly not for the £40 I bought mine for.

Temporarily gone off cassette. Spent another couple of hours working on my Yamaha K-850 the other night and the damn thing still won't rewind properly and still doesn't work in one channel!
