Shiny brand new second hand things in my system today

Like these and this one has a phono stage, quite rare to get it.

I think we know why you like that Bob…:wink:

Three reasons.

  1. It sounds great.
  2. It’s from Trilogy which I have a soft spot for.
  3. Shiny.

Wrong order methinks.

Of course.

But I do like Trilogy, with 909, 907 and 990 already.

Me too lovely kit.

918 ref and 958’s

I was considering changing but then I thought again

I use mine with Ensemble PA-1 Reference/M&K MX350 sub, Technics SL1200 and a Micromega Duo Pro DAC.

Did you buy Chris’s old set?

Trying out a different pre before the new one arrives.

I bought the pre off him and got the mono’s down here.
Chris had the el34 mono’s I’ve got the 6550 set

OK, he’s got the mono’s back along with a 902 pre now. Chris has my old O’Heocha D2s and his Oxford Crystal Ref back. Sounding nice tbh.

Satellite delay…
Wondering what you have thought of these after an extended listen (!). Looks like a solid option for a second system. Any good for late night (quiet) listening? Compared to Kef etc they seem very good value.

I liked them a lot but I have little experience with actives so nothing to compare them with.

Is that a Fat Bob Bob?

It is a dusty one, needs a polish. With the Transrotor version of the Rega RB300, which is only really the arm tube left. At the moment it has a Van den Hul MC One Special cartridge, which I quite like. I used to use a Koetsu Rosewood and that was a match made in heaven.

Be interesting to give this a whirl later.

Changes from SL seem to include threaded holes in the metal top so supplied bolts go straight in with no nuts. Micro Line tip fwiw.and it’s suggesting a load of >100 Ohms which, if memory serves is lower than the SL could be allowed to see. Output is 0.4 mV so reasonably healthy.
