Seems a decent price
one was rubbing where the voice coil wires need re-gluing. These will be sent with the diaphragm separate but included and you’ll need to fit them.
Vitavox will refurbish them but I think they should be a bit less in this state.
Then again how low in price can you go?
If you live in Croydon, the inside of your house can now look like the outside.

I don’t really know anything about Audio Note stuff, but the enthusiasm for the company on here, isn’t wasted on me. How does this one rate?
Only heard this version once with 2 way Heco Direkts and was a nice match.
I’ve just bought the signature version for my fridges and that is also a nice match even if the valves are a bit noisy, waiting on replacements.
That’s a really early one and doesn’t have the gallahad based PSU, I’d probably avoid as the price is high for that version.

I don’t think two Otos ever left the ANUK fucktory the same, and for damn sure none of them ever left it as tricked-out and pimped-up as the demonstrator they take to shows.
Caveat-fucking-emptor…

That is a rotten trick. It’s bad enough when the demo model is clearly the top-of-the-range-you-cannot-afford but is at least a buyable configuration, but if you think that’s what you are buying and it’s not then that is cruel.
I’d say it’s potentially false advertising too.

Just wish I’d taken some pics of the interior of it when I had it on loan… Ended-up costing me a lot of money and a lot of grief.

Viva 845 on PFM.
Seem to get a few twitching on here, usually.

Not hi fi, but a shit-ton of mostly EDM vinyl.
I’ve had a handful of OTOs through here and each time I’ve seen one I’ve been a bit disappointed with some detail or other about it. Even after I’ve fixed any faults they’ve sometimes not measured brilliantly either (and I do take trouble with the measurements).
These experiences have made it all the more annoying each time I’ve connected one up to my living room NS1000s and found that they actually sound great - low-noise, dynamic, punchy, strain-free, fun. I’ve been sad to see them go back to their rightful owners.

Aside from the obvious (and compelling), “It’s Empisspoorium, brah! R yooz fackin mental, innit?!”, and the equally obvious (and even more compelling), “You’re broke, you stupid, fat, cunt!” . . . . apart from those … oh, and the not-uncompelling “You said no-more fucking valves you schizoid human clusterfuck!” … yeh, apart from all those … why should I not buy these? -

Get in the car now and wait outside for them opening. Do it.

I do seem to like the look of the Manley stuff. You’ve had some before I think, yeah?
