Why can't we discus anything 'alternative'?

notaclue — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 11:01:14 GMT

Genuine question. OK, I can appreciate that some more ridiculous threads are no great loss, but the David Icke TV was a genuine thread about an interesting new development.

Is everything vaguely related to this kind of thing banned?

If so, on what grounds?

Thank you.

Hifi Racks/supports?????????????????

Progmeister — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 10:50:40 GMT

Huifi racks/supports/stands. What's the general opinion? I am torn as to whether or not a trip to Ikea is the order of the day or to buy a proper stand. I always remember the late great Tom Fletcher telling me what a load of bollocks it all was. I would be interested in hearing from the cognisenti.:?

Old style fuse box

Bikerboy — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 10:20:18 GMT

I keep an eye out for an elderly neighbour, this morning her light downstairs did not work. Checked the fuse box and its a Wylex box with the fuses having fuse wire at different values the lights are on a 5 amp fuse. I can get some fuse wire and sort it out but is there a better way of doing this. Do I need to get her to agree to get a new fuse box which she is likely to baulk at as she is 93 and to be frank she is very frail and has just had a minor stroke.

What would the wam advice be.

FS: Sennheiser HD25-SP II headphones (as new)

Papa Lazarou — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 10:14:01 GMT

I am selling my Sennheiser HD25-SP II headphones. I bought them from Richer Sounds a few weeks ago (still have the receipt). They've only seen a couple of hours use and sound great. I just didn't realise that they're not really sensitive enough to run from an iPod or iPhone. The cable is very long too. So these are more suited to home use or DJ'ing.

So a �100 pair of one month old, as new, headphones in original box etc with receipt.

Will sell for �70 inc UK postage.
NO offers please.
Payment via Paypal Gift or Bank Transfer please.

Wammers Album Club - Tues 25th June 2013 - New Model Army - Thunder & Consolation

unclepuncle — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 09:55:11 GMT

New Model Army hail from Bradford, Yorkshire and are named after the English Civil War army led by Oliver Cromwell. It is now nearly 30 years since their first album was released. In that time they have been one of the most consistent bands around, developing a strong and devoted fan base. Their music has been described as "folk rock", but they defy any genre definition, and the lyrics are a very important element. They are known for having left wing tendencies but, like another well known lefty, Billy Bragg, their best moments are when they move away from directly political subjects and concentrate on more personal messages.

Released in 1989 this was the fourth New Model Army album and imo their best. Justin Sullivans writing has always been excellent but the band as a whole found a new maturity here and the whole album feels very polished. 225, Green and Grey and Family Life are the standout tracks for me.

The original album contained 10 songs (the cassette version added an extra track '125mph') and I suggest you judge the album on those 10 (or 11 tracks) as the extra 4 tracks on the end of the re-released version that are on Spotify/Grooveshark rather dilute the impact.

Common as muck on the used market !
These are Rosewood finish and virtually mint. They�re boxed with all internal packaging. I�m the second owner and have the original purchase receipt. I�ll add the purchase date later when I�ve dug it out. They are the SE edition which relates to the internal OFC wiring. Whether this makes a significant difference or not I don�t know but they say SE on the back which makes them better than ordinary ones ;-).
These speakers are marvels and the only reason I�m selling them is that I�ve moved and they�re in a much larger room and the laws of physics just won�t compromise.
I�m in Nottingham and may travel a bit to meet up.
�850 + �35 carriage (UK) if needed, this will be next day and fully insured to �1000 (this insurance costs �20 at Interparcel). Payment by cash or bank transfer, the latter preferred.
Please note this is absolutely not an interest check but the final sale is dependent upon the successful completion of an arranged purchase of the replacements. This currently stands at a verbal agreement to pick them up on Weds 26^th June.
Really sorry, no picks, camera buggered.
Cheers.

WTB: Electrofluidics monolith or Townshend isolda - short lengths

graham67 — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 09:19:46 GMT

Hi,

Does anyone have any short lengths of Electrofluidics monolith or Townshend isolda speaker cable? The speakers are quite close together so I only need 1m lengths or so.

What would be perfect is a pair like the short 1m lengths used for Living Voice OBX crossover boxes. What is frustating is that I sold my 1m set a couple of years back when I sold my living Voice speakers. I am currently using 3m lengths of Townshend Isolda and there is cable everywhere!

Thanks,

Graham.

'Notifications' show I have '1 Unread Private Message'. I don't, I've read them all. How can I clear this Notification. I've tried logging off/on again, and re-reading recent messages, but without success.

Anyone got a matched quad of KT90s they want to move on?

FS: Telefunken E88CC (6922) Near NOS Valves

skol — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 08:59:37 GMT

Purchased these on Ebay 4 weeks ago and reprint the original description below:

"2 Telefunken E88CC 6922 NOS NIB tubes
strong values very nice couple
They where in sealed Box I open ,t for testing
with diamond <> and same production code

Tested on a Avo MK 4 tube tester

side 1 side 2

Tube 1 19.0 mA - 12.0 mA/V 18.0 mA - 11.5 mA/V
Tube 2 19.0 mA - 12.0 mA/V 17.5 mA - 11.5 mA/V

In book from avo is 15.0 mA - 12.5 mA/V 100%
voltage for testing are
Anode 90 volt Grid - 1.2 volt
good starts at 7.0 mA 6.0 mA/V"

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-Telefunk...vip=true&rt=nc

Photos are attached on the original listing above.

I do not have a tester of my own to verify these readings - having run these in over 50 hours or so and the sound has opened up dramatically supporting the view that these were true NOS valves when I purchased them as stated.

The sound on these is huge and massively detailed with the best top to bottom extension I have heard from a pair of 6922s in my preamp. Unfortunately, it a little too much of a good thing for my taste and system with an upstream Siemens CCA in my DAC and explicit MA speakers lending just too much detail, so I am now looking to move these on at substantially less than I paid.

Looking for �120 incl postage. Based in Herts and collection welcome.
