Yeah, nice haul there, Barry! There's some good stuff (on very nice labels, too - some of my favs), so enjoy. I presume the condition is excellent?

Second sale of the day, one I don't go to regularly and from two rows away I spot what looks like a Quadraspire rack, I rush over and beneath the makeup and glassware it was being used to display was a very nice Quadrapsire Q4EVO, having pointed out that nobody else was likely to even recognise what it was let alone buy it I got it for £12, looks like the second system is getting a rack upgrade.
Just picked up a pair of JBL Control 1's in silver from local car boot. Only £15, could be a bargain, providing that they work! Haven't tried them yet.
Then will come the dilemma, whether to sell them on, or keep. If they are a keeper, I would have to do something about that silver finish, I couldn't live with that. They look like they belong in a 90's home-cinema-in-a-box. Only question is, which colour would sound best?
I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in
T/T: Inspire Monarch, X200 tonearm, Ortofon Quintet Blue. Phono: Project Tube Box CD: Marantz CD6006 (UK Edition); Amp: Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated.
Speakers: Zu Omen Def, REL T9i subwoofer. Cables: Atlas Equator interconnects, Atlas Hyper 3.0 speaker cables
T'other system:
Echo Dot, Amptastic Mini One,Arcam A75 integrated, Celestion 5's, BK XLS-200 DF
A/V:
LG 55" OLED, Panasonic Blu Ray, Sony a/v amp, MA Radius speakers, REL Storm sub
Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.
