Mike and James that's helpful, thanks. My original post did suggest that it was likely to be a source problem, but the valve issue is food for thought. They are not over-used valves - hundreds rather than thousands of hours - but do valves age when not used? The KT88s are perhaps 6 or so years old a...

Hi all I'm afraid I can't offer anything here except possibly the stimulation of a problem to solve. I'm a bit thrown by the following email I received from the buyer of the Chinese Sound Luster KT88 I recently sold. It sounds like it must be the source that is the problem but opinions gratefully re...

Hi all the next stage of a clear-out is underway. This Chinese amp is rarely seen (compared with the similar Music Angel KT88). I bought this one from Andrew I c.5 years ago. It is as good as my KEL84 on box speakers (warmer, richer and so better to my ears in fact) but does not drive my Maggies as ...

The Mills are burnt in and these remain nice, smooth, expansive speakers. Any offers before I put on ebay over the week-end?

Adrian

Notwithstanding the less than overwhelming interest here, the A400 is now sold.

Adrian

Perhaps I should have mentioned this earlier, but some on here may be interested in this amp that I am selling as part of a general clear out:

Bloody southerners eh?

Never mind

Hi Chris

North London, N4, slap bang next to Finsbury Park. I have family in South Lincs and South Birmingham so anywhere round there is reasonably convenient.

Adrian

Please note that the stands that Clive had made when he built the original mk.1 version of these for the HFW supplement are included in the sale.

In case of confusion, the Mills have now been fitted in the cross-over and are running in

Hi All for sale, a pair of Adire audio HE10 mk2 speakers. I bought these from Philip (pre65) a couple of years ago with the expectation of fiddling with them, upgrading X-O components etc. I recently sold a pair of Mark 1s and when I compared the 2 versions I couldn't tell any difference. That encou...

Any chance of a picture?

40Hz is more than reasonable. I did download WINISD but late at night couldn't get the hang of it. Will persevere

Adrian

Hi Colin

apologies for being side-tracked by Lionel Messi this evening. Yes, those are the drivers. Thanks very much for the calcs - I was just about to download WINISD but I'll go with your suggestion.

When you say 'vented cabinet' is this the same as the circular port?

Best

Adrian

Hi Philip

they are very nice, I agree. But they are 450mm deep and I haven't that depth toplay with. And as you note I have w idth problem as well. Hence I want to go upwards (but not too far)!

Adrian

Hi all for my 2nd system, in the living room, I could buy some cheap floorstanders or convert a pair of Adire HE10s (a 2nd pair, having just sold the 1st on here) which sit on ugly stands to nicely finished floor-standers (inspired by Colin's fabulous work with ply). For a non-critical system is it ...
