Right...
The Hifi was Vinyl based the record player is a highly regarded Rotel RP-830
this deck is legendary with a straight tonearm fitted with Shure M75EJ with brand new stylus. Think the deck is made in Japan, I've not got a dust cover for it but that never mattered much, just Hoover more often or wipe using dust cloth!! Awesome deck though belt drive it's no problem slipping the deck into 45rpm from 33rpm, just lift slipmat up, change speed an idiot would go wrong. My opinion this blows a Project Debut out of the water! Matches up with Rega / Linn or somewhere there abouts. £80 (good price)
The AUDIOLAB 8000A is the more desirable one with gold phono, retails around £500 from memories, can be run as pre or power amplifier and rates high amongst Hifi heads and those that know! The amp packs a huge punch and would be good for someone that's upgrading or just wants to sample the AUDIOLAB flavour, these amplifiers are made in UK so homegrown product here. Phono stage is MM/MC switchable, built like a tank, recent model as well not one of the older ones that lurk around. £150 (usual price is more secondhand special LFGSS discount price)
Next up... Castle Clifton monitors, these have been run in the setup mentioned, the monitors are clear and provide an open sound. The speakers are rated at 8ohm with 80watts handling. These shall be coming with some Rega Quattro terminated banana clip cable which is about 2 meters each in length. £50 (sweet pair of monitors)
Finally, I have 70-75 records range from Jazz -RB - Punk - Indie - Tech .
These are all in spot on condition, worth a LOT of money I'm prepared sell these in batch I'm not into splitting them hence if want take the lot cannot entertain dibs on one or two at time whole lot must go, BUT price reflects batch so much less than actual worth. Some of the vinyl is even still sealed, the collection is all in good order near mint or excellent or sealed new. £150 seriously worth it!!!
.. Whomever gets the stuff will need a car or Taxi as the gear weighs quite a lot, the amplifier is serious weight, as the vinyl is. So as regards dibs I'll offer king dibs on items in order of first - second - third .... Etc etc .. Until interest builds, rather shift the nice gear here on LFGSS as have noticed there's current interest in Hifi on here. The prices are rather cheap which can be noticed I'm driving a bargain ..
I'm base over in NW6 Kilburn- West Hampstead for collection, please let me know if keen on anything and I'll accommodate viewing.
