The Musical Fidelity A1 is one of the best sounding amps under $1k. Seriously. It's old though, so something newer might be a safer bet.
Agreed this is a stunning sounding amp for the money but they do run hot so it wants to have been looked after
You're welcome
And don't get me wrong, the 326BEE is a great little amp, but you can get much better for less, so it's definitely worth weighing all the options.If you can get nothing else then as Slinch says there is nothing wrong with it but there is better out there for the money, I get that if you have to have something shipped an amp that is local and you can hear before handing over the cash is always a bit safer.

Enter UHT453 for 10% off!
I was too slow on that one but thanks anyway. Tried another one from earlier in the thread but that didn't work.
-
This is down to $21.99.
I think we can confirm the price hike initially was to prevent buyers from using the $1 shipping
On it thanks but the checkout is slow as usual
-
Should I do the obvious Riot one or is it a bit early as it hasn't been repressed yet?
-
decided to put up a bunch of my paramore collection for sale at an exclusive price just for vc. decided to sell my stuff for super cheap.
heres the topic.
Very magnanimous of you, might do the same with my Riot white test pressing.
-
We have these at my store. They are not $48.50. It is an error that will probably be corrected in the morning.
Good to know thanks
-
It's still up on the website at $48.50 so it doesn't look very fixed to me.

I love Kuzma, I had a Kuzma Stogi arm on a Voyd Valdi and it's definitely an arm I wish I still had.

Has anyone had any international shipping notice? I've yet to hear anything about either of my orders.
I've been pretty laid back about this feeling that what arrives will be fine and it will get here when it does.
For my first 2 orders BKR_Mark PM'd me about them without me even asking him to and told me they were complete apart from an LP I had tried to add over the phone, the site also says my first order is dispatched and I've had an email notification for that one.
From what I can see the response to the sale has been massive so check on the website or drop them a line.

How does the Eddie Sings the Blues LP sound?
In general not bad but if pushed I would have to say mixed, some are good rips and some are not so good. I have heard a lot worse boots recently though

Can't go wrong with the Cambridge Audio Azure 151P.
Congrats on your new TT and this one above for ease of use and sound quality per $
-
For all potential European buyers I have just added 2 to my cart on the website as a test and it put shipping as $30 each!!
-
Was going to order but the website looks pretty clear that it is black and says online exclusive, could the red ones be an in store exclusive?
-
You could find a worthless LP you own and make an LP sandwich with the 7" inside. But remember to tape up the record jacket so the LP sandwich doesn't fall out
where quality and ingenuity don't quite meet, nice.
-
Mine arrived here in the UK yesterday, first I've heard by them so am glad I pre ordered and got the 7" and will be looking out for more by the band.
There seem to be plenty of the green vinyl release here in the UK so I expect I will end up buying one to play so I don't wear out the pink copy by playing it too much.
-
If you are really stuck you could ship it in a 12" mailer by cutting a 7x7 hole in a 12x12 sheet of card and putting the 7" in the hole. You would need a good method of making sure it stays in the 7x7 hole though.

Sell my records? I would rather shove wasps up my arse!!
I only sell my spares and I regret most of those.

If it's ok on 45 and it only has one speed control pot then the pot is ok and the problem is in the section of the power supply that deals with 33rpm. All electronics of this vintage has electrolytic capacitors that dry out with age so I expect that is where the problem is.
If you are ok with electronics fault finding or know someone who is then you will be fine otherwise you might want to move it on and replace it.

In my opinion, no. The RP3 is an absolute winner. That is if you're buying new.
If you go used, there are some better options, BUT there's always risk, and it really helps if you are handy with audio equipment, because you're usually on your own. When you buy new, the store will do pretty much everything for you, so it's just plug and play.

My first order #537175 has shipped and I think I got all I ordered, that makes full a full fat WooHoo indeed
And don't get me wrong, the 326BEE is a great little amp, but you can get much better for less, so it's definitely worth weighing all the options.
Good price on well used Technics SL-1200MK2?

Price up what the parts will cost but also check the arm because if the bearings are worn and you discover anything else wrong then the costs to put it right start creeping toward one that was good in the first place. Make sure you check the speed stability and behaviour when you adjust the pitch
That said they do hold their value well so any SL1200 for $150 is a good start and you have to be lucky to find one being offered at that price regardless of condition.
