SM Audiophiles?

[hashluck]

Thanks chaps. It’s probably a good job I can‘t remember what I paid for them new!

Held their value pretty well actually. HiFi like cars and prices creep up

 

[bigbob]

I’m still using a 20+ year old Kenwood 5 CD tray and Kef speakers. Fingers crossed.

I’m not a social media user I’m afraid, so don’t have the Facebook option.

Understood. Maybe try Steve Wilcock at Hi-Fi trading Station, I have dealt with him on a few occasions always been very decent and when something has gone wrong, which obviously can happen with 2nd hand hifi he has always been top notch. In my experience fair to both buyer and seller.

Chaps - some advice, please.
In the study I have a pair of Linn Ninka speakers (with stands/feet), actively powered by three silver Linn power amps (2 x LK140, and 1 x LK85). I bought all this new, about 20 years ago, used it sparingly at first, but probably only a handful of times over the last decade.
I've decided I may as well sell it. What’s it all worth, and where is the best place to advertise it (Ebay?).

LK140 £300-£400 each
LK85 £150-£200
Ninka £200-£300
I certainly wouldn’t use Scumtree. They’ll want it all for a Tenner and will want you to load it into the car.
Surely at that money you’d be better keeping it as you wouldn’t be able to replace the quality for the same cost.

I only just sold 3 x LK100s but kept my Linn Keilidhs and purchased an Akurate Hub and Exaktbox-I to make a very cool second system that I will probably never use

Initial tests of the edwards audio are positive , sounds great , I've got my eye on a roksan K3 integrated next

It's building up in here though

I've got the naim unique, an onkyo , the quad and a rotel

 

[Wack61]

Just an update now I've had the Edwards Audio for a couple days , it's very good , I wouldn't say better than the quad but different ,brighter, more musical

Anyone looking for a new amp in the £1000-£1500 bracket should consider talk electronics , they punch well above their price point .

Or do what I did ,buy one for ½ price used

About a year ago I bought a 5 speaker setup to set up a home cinema in the conservatory

Never heard of them but they were cheap

Magnat from Germany

Anyway , I set the projector and screen up but never got round to the surround sound

Just got them out of the boxes set them up to make sure they work and they sound really good , they just look like they should sound really ****

I'm just going to set it up as stereo for now , might get a soundbar instead

 

[CatmanV2]

Magnat are quite well respected from memory. Not a great sonic environment though!

not sure I would get away with such 'statement' speakers in our home... she baulks at small Bosse ones hidden in the corners.

Hi All,

I have come into some high end home audio that I am planning on selling. If it’s of interest to anyone send me a PM and we can chat. All in all it’s around £16k worth of equipment if you were buying new.

Michell Engineering SE Turntable
Rega RB300 Tone Arm
Dynavector 10X5 Cartridge
Roksan Blak Integrated Amplifier
Roksan Caspian Series 2 CD Player
DALI Rubicon 6 Floor Standing Speakers
Focal Aria 926 Floor Standing Speakers
Naim Directional Speaker Cable
Atlas Cable Connectors
Audioquest XLR Cables for Amp to CD

Ideally collection from Glasgow as sadly there are no boxes.

A really impressive set-up.

If any is interested in taking the full kit send me a PM and we can discuss £££ but it will be around half the new prices.

 

[CatmanV2]

Very nice!

Graham will do some serious deals on these if anyone is seriously interested. It’s some really high end stuff that you can get at low prices. If you’re into this kind of thing, i recommend you get in touch with him.

Oh, and he may take a Maserati in part exchange....

Checks out new price of Roksan Black amp hoping 50% is £750

Sighs and goes to bed disappointed

Last week received an unexpected bonus from work so a decision that had been pending was made so time to dust off the vinyl
