Hey Mike and Fran. Its a Synthesis "Shine" integrated amp. Bought it from Noel. I collected it today and all seems AOK. It actually sounds better than before - maybe that's down to the Rotel that I borrowed. Bernard explained that finally he had found a bad crimped connection in an 8 wire ...

Hello All. I bought a used valve integrated last August. It's driving me to drink ! Although I auditioned it and it seemed fine, since bringing it home it's been nothing but trouble since. The left channel keeps dropping in volume and I hear a sizzle in the left speaker. The balance control doesn't ...

Saw Devotchka on Later a few years ago and ran out to buy this.
Wasn't sorry.

Check out this website: http://devotchka.net/ Must be one of nicest I've seen.

SUPER BARGAIN ! http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41-oUed1K8L._SL500_AA240_.jpg I got this for €6.00 last weekend at HMV. My introduction to the Classic Classical world. It is a 6 CD set with what seems like a great variety. Moods, Movie & TV,etc. groupings. I probably hear snippits of a lo...

Plenty of elbow grease going into cleaning raw materials and bringing up a finish though. I just hope that it's worth it. If anybody'...

Never can find time to really dig into classical music in earnest.
But I really enjoy this every now and then ....

Hi Fran. Yep. I bought that motor from David. Here are a couple more pics. No arm board in these - it stands to correct level on risers - will post pics later. The bearing is from a stripped down oscillating office fan. It's a hardened steel shaft with a cast cylindrical block just off mid way in th...

Hi All. I'm working on a DIY turntable. Using scavenged parts and materials I am trying to make it at silly money. i.e. next to nothing. Just to see what's possible. The base is a waste sink cut out from a solid walnut kitchen counter. The acrylic structure and platter [80 mm total] is of 20 mm acry...
