My pair came from a charity shop opposite what was a high end audio store.
Their faces as they watched us carry out a pair of 1973 Monitor Gold Ten 3LZ was a picture!

The 15” silver GRF in the slide show came from a charity shop. The guy bought it to make a fish tank out of it!!! Thankfully this brain fart floundered and his wife rang to get it out of her garage.

CliveG used to have GRF with Reds and then swapped them out for some 15" silvers.
Never really been a fan of Tannoy but those sounded really good with a Shindo pre and Radford STA100 amp.

Yes! Clive was an interesting and lovely guy. He’d had a lot of high end kit but went full circle back to vintage front & back.
A fair few have / do.
Hoping to go back to a garrard at some point. Bloody love the smell of them.

Yes, for a variety of reasons it seems. It’s common for people to have a highend modern TT for stereo and a 301 for Mono for example.
That’s something I’d love to do.
I use a fairly basic DJ turntable for mono duties which sounds decent enough but I think that’s as much to do with the quality of the mono recordings. Maybe one day. 
They still fetch decent money in good nick, so you’re clearly not alone - never actually heard a set, but would certainly like to

I recall them being quite dark sounding, but that meant they didnt spit in the treble like a lot of sand based amps of the day
See phrases like smooth and rich in reviews…

Think they were designed by Trichord for Michell, Tom Evans certainly designed the phono and preamp.
