Treasure trove

[John Duncan]

Some interesting things in 'X', second hand shop in Kingston at the moment, including a nice looking Garrard 401 with SME arm, Audiolab, Aura, old Naim, and an iMerge which tempted me greatly at 175 quid...

Shouldn't you be saving up for your kids' Christmas presents John?

And Ruark Sabres for £175 and £195 (Kingston and Hammersmith)

My six-year-old wants nothing more than a MF pre-power combo for Christmas, I'm sure of it.

 

[Andy Clough]

Or a Naim Uniti, surely?

 

[Clare Newsome]

Is that bonkers early-edition Krell still in there, John?

no, he thinks that streaming media is for losers

Clare Newsome:Is that bonkers early-edition Krell still in there, John?

don't think so, unless it doesn't look like your average krell...

 

[Clare Newsome]

It doesn't look at all like a Krell - if it wasn't for the badge, I wouldn't have known. It's a very, very old pre-amp - would love to hear it, just for curiosity's sake,..

 

[John Duncan]

Well there's a lot of no-name (but high-end looking) stuff in there. Happy to *** down on Monday with the kit budget

Very fine speakers at a fair price, if in good condition. Unfussy'ish about placement (IB) and easy to power. Almost furniture quality. Had them on custom made granite stands with valve amplification and still remember that system fondly. I'd guess they still hold their own today and good enough for some serious equipment.
