That's for certain!
Guest 322 Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 I guess the Chinese call it "englese" and poke fun at it
alistairm Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 I'd be VERY interested to hear if anybody has tried one of those. It looks like a perspex VPI 16.5 and I'd imagine works pretty well!
josh0571 Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 It does look like an perspex VPI! Even if it costs $US100 to get here, it mightn't be bad! I'd be VERY interested to hear if anybody has tried one of those. It looks like a perspex VPI 16.5 and I'd imagine works pretty well!
Hergest Posted September 19, 2010 Posted September 19, 2010 I wonder what went wrong with this when the seller's flogging it off just two months after buying it but never using it?

Guest 322 Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 Can anyone identify any of the cables listed here http://cgi.ebay.com.au/AUDIO-CABLES-GALORE-assorted-high-end-top-quality-cable-/140457056842?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item20b3e49a4a
cableconnoisseur Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 I spy what appear to be a couple of Monster offerings. Nothing jumps out as being of oustanding quality or value. Caveat Emptor would be my advice. The seller has offered a 'viewing' of his cables...........so why not take him up on the offer?
Full Range Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 Would you pay this price for what is essentially a plastic box ? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Audio-Technica-Cartridge-Storage-AT6280-/390235453534?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5adbd8785e FR

Peace of mind as so much can go wrong with a plastic box. If anyone is interested, I can supply the same thing in cardboard for half the price. You do lose a little of the high transparent feeling though.

ES Well as it is now nearing the end of 2010, we can at least see if his earlier predictions were correct - but that means we only really need to learn about 2011 to 2014 - that's only 3 years - 60% of his prediction which still has relevance (assuming he was on the right track for the first 2 years). Hence this book demands at least a 40% reduction, which makes it a bargain in anyone's book (except of course the sane among us). Even if you were contemplating starting up a boutique Tube amp business - would you buy this book?

Nothing went wrong, the amp is brand new, just an impluse buy that was clearly explained in the SNA listing. I'm obviously no good at this selling caper, everytime I list the amp somebody thinks it's suss, I can assure you it's not. David

According to wikihttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_M._Parker I will await the release of his 'collected works' once I have a Terabyte iPad to store them. His reflections on Solid State amps 1974 - 81 is now touted as a seminal work.

If I were in the market for a Pre, this would be very high on the list. Ignore the doubters - bit of a waste of effort. What are you using instead of this fine unit?

Ignore the doubters - bit of a waste of effort. What are you using instead of this fine unit? Well, nothing really, Im very new at all of this and have spent money I should be keeping for a house deposit. Seemed like a good idea at the time. I built a set of speakers that sound great to me & had and bought a Kingrex T20 to run them, then thought I'd buy the pre then another Kingrex to biamp, once I had purchased the pre i started thinking what the hell am I doing, shouldn't be spending this money . I had previously bought an Integra reciever (on special) when the wife gave me the boot, and am now using that, which sound pretty good really. This whole HiFi thing is a bit too addictive. David
danter Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 What gets me is you sometimes lose sight of the music - and the gear starts to take over.
Monkeyboi Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 I'd be VERY interested to hear if anybody has tried one of those. It looks like a perspex VPI 16.5 and I'd imagine works pretty well! With the exception of the see through case, the resemblence is uncanny. Right down to the vacuum wand, the front panel switches and the record clamp. It looks just like my VPI RCM, except it's naked.
