Decent looking TDL Studio 0.5 transmission line speakers in Sheffield. Less than 3 hours to go and bids are at £88. Got to be worth a bash!

It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
The guy who's serviced it is a legend in the London Decca community.Decca C4E Mk.IV elliptical FFSS cartridge.
Obviously causing some interest. The bidding is up to £411 and the listing ends tonight. Could it set a record for an FFSS?

I'd certainly like it, but not at that sort of money, even though in sound terms it's probably worth it (they sound fantastic).
Think I'll stick with the Mk.III ellipticals I have.

So I've heard. I hope he is, one of the Deccas I've bought has allegedly been serviced by him. Last time I had a Decca serviced, it was By Decca Special Products at Ingate Place, many years ago.

Mega rare!
Mk.I KEF Concerto speakers from the sixties. They had me fooled for a moment. I thought it was a picture of a pairs of Concords.
Located in Teddington. These are a proper collectors item: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PAIR-of-KE...8AAOSwFqJWi88U
(looks like the B139 bass drivers are later replacements. The originals would have had white foam surrounds)

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

I predicted these great arms would get focused on by vinyl enthusiasts eventually, after not being on the radar for a good while. They are seriously good sounding and work with any type of cartridge. Prices will keep rising.
Keep an eye on the Lenco and Decca stuff too. That's rocketing.
Good job I've stocked up on just about everything I'm likely to want (might get another certain power amp though, before people latch onto how good they are).

He also builds his own carts, award winning carts. I've seen his workshop. It's chaos lmao.
