    Garrard Turntables

    Thanks for the honest feedback. Not sure if I should even do anything with them. I'll test them to see if they work and decide from there. Good for spares maybe? They are potentially very nice looking TTs.

    Garrard Turntables

    I picked up a pair of Garrard turntables earlier this afternoon that both require a complete overhaul. It looks as they may have been sitting for a while. My turntable knowledge/experience is pretty much zero - but I'm definitely keen to try get these (either both or one of them) going again...

    Bakers Biscuits

    That's what I told them in an email!! I has a specific way in how I ate a slab. Lol! With their 150g slabs it's all wrong! No real satisfaction. We've been buying Lindt balls as a really expensive substitute.

    Bakers Biscuits

    100% agree! I've started buying chocolate digestives from woollies - which are properly tasty. Everything else has pretty much changed. - except the good old Marie biscuit! I've stopped buying Cadbury slabs all together. The have recently changed their slab weight for the same price. This has...

    Beogram 1001

    There's a Beogram available for around 1k - which I am considering. Supposedly it is working but may need some TLC. I haven't had a TT for many many years but am keen to give it a proper chance again.  Before I dive into this, I have a few questions. I did a quick search on the forum and it...

    Svetlana Valves

    Wow - you have confirmed that my valve understanding is limited. Based on what you are saying - is that the 6F3 could be used in place of the ECL82 and that based on the fact that it is military spec could be of a better quality? It seems as though Svetlana has been around for ages and still...

    I came across these valves on eBay for R200 a matched pair, which is pretty much half the price of a local valve... Should I even consider these? The link...

    Audioquest Spade Plugs

    Earlier this afternoon I popped into Sandton City to pick up a few things. I remembered that I needed spade plugs for my Trio (which has the horrible screw terminals). I got a quote of over R1k for 4 Audioquest spades! Is this even possible or could it have been a mistake? If it is - thats...
