For sale, an absolutely fantastic pairing, the Grado PS500e and the rare Grado RA1 headphone amplifier. Happy to sell separately, provided it's the the RA1 first.

PS500e
These are the sweet spot in the range, building on the warmer, more balanced qualities of the PS500, but adding some more precision and air to bring the sound to life a little more. Compared to the RS1i, GS1000 and RS2E they sound the most neutral and real. The RS1E are a completely different beast, as many will know by now. I stayed well clear after a first listen.
The PS500e are incredibly easy to drive and even sound fantastic from the iPad / iPhone.

In excellent condition and with original box. RRP £600, yours for £395.

Grado RA1
An incredibly simple battery powered amplifier that's a perfect match for any Grado. It gives the Grados that extra few % compared to other amps and sources. One 9V battery lasts for months with regular use. It's made from a lovely block of Mahogany.

In excellent condition, no original box. RRP £420, yours for £225.

Overall a beautiful and simple pairing, and a joy to listen to.

Based in London Stoke Newington, N16. Happy to post to anywhere at cost.

Looking for good but not exorbitantly costly 6922 and ECC83

My preamp tube set seems to be in need of replacement - getting occasional squealing on one channel which has changed sides with the channel inversion of the tubes.

Advice about good quality but relatively affordable 6922 and ECC83 would be welcome.
The same goes for suggestions about reliable suppliers - preferably in Europe since i live in France and parcels from the States etc get hit with import duties etc.

Hana MC cartridges now at Radlett Audio

I am pleased to announce that Radlett Audio now has the wonderful range of MC cartridges in stock.

Hana means "brilliant and gorgeous" in Japanese and a very apt description for these excellent value for money cartridges. Manufactured by the Excel Corporation of Japan, which has been making high quality cartridges for other well known companies for 50 years. Put another brand on the box and they would easily sell for double the price.

There are 2 high o/p models and 2 low o/p. The highs work into any MM input and the lows into any MC input.

The low have an Elliptical tipped version and a Shibata. The high also have an Elliptical and a Shibata.

Prices are £276 for Elliptical and £447 for Shibata and that is very competitive.

Yoga

I know many of you are serious cyclists and that is great: this thread may not be for you.
If, however, you know anyone (especially a child or older person) who does not enjoy (or has given up) sport/exercise you might suggest they try yoga.
Yoga benefits all ages and all capabilities. There is also a stress relief aspect.

Mission Pre-amp

I'm considering changing my pre-amp and thought a change to a mission pre would fit the bill. I'm currently using a Naim 42.5 (Please lets not go down the Naim love or hate route)! Any views on the Mission would be much appreciated.

Regards
Ray

Moderat III

This one has really got under my skin. I wasn't aware of them at all before spotting III on Tidal. I mentioned them on the "What are you listening to?" thread, and likened the vocal to Thom Yorke. I think that was wishful thinking on my part, and applies only a smidge to one particular track.

An irrelevance anyway, I spend too much time trying to compare artists, mostly just for the sake of giving a clue as to whether other folk might like something I suppose.

Anyway, if you like techno/electronica with a decent vocal and really catchy melodies give this one a whirl.

FWIW It's my first purchase since going "rental"

Gigs - Bucket List

So - after 40 years of gigging I am left with a few bands/artists I feel I must see before either I or them shuffle of this mortal coil. Some acts I want to see because I feel I should and some because I have a real passion for and have not been able to see up to now. This is not about bands you would like to reform.
I have tickets for Elton John, ELO.
I would still love to see Bruce Springsteen, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Muse and nine inch nails. Lesser known but still on my list include Big Big Train, Temperance Movement and Aaron English.

The last time I saw an iconic artist live that lived up to their status was Roger Waters the Wall in 2011.
Subsequent attempts have had their moments - saw Fish do Misplaced Chilhood last night- but age is fast catching up with us all.

[WTD] Mini-ITX PC mobo

Looking at the possibility up upgrading the mobo in my MPC which has been relieved of such duties and passed to Mrs C after her old tower died. (terminal mobo death, whole thing stripped for parts as too big anyway)

New mobo needs to come complete with a decent CPU (modern duo core minimum) with passive cooling or low profile fan.
Be able to support at least 8gb of DDR3 RAM.
Have an expansion slot, PCI is prefered but PCIe will do.
Support optical drive.
Come complete with I/O panel.

Added bonuses would be USB3.0, integrated BT and WiFi.

No NAS or Server specific mobos thank you.

Anyone have something like that languishing around?

[FS] Full Linn System (LK140's Aktiv, Keilidhs' etc) in Kent

Hello

Looking to downsize my system as I'm moving into a smaller flat within a few months time. I would preferably sell it as a whole, but will consider selling separately. For sale is:

- Linn Keilidh speakers (latest tri bar models, converted to aktiv)
- Linn LK140 amplifiers (x2, with Aktiv cards)
- Linn Axis Turntable (akito tonearm with Ortofon Red cartridge)
- Linn K400 cable (x2 4m)
- Audiolab Q-Dac

All is in excellent condition and is very well cared for. Wouldn't be selling if it wasn't for downsizing.

Collection from Tunbridge Wells, Kent. Please PM me with offers.

Avondale 821a + RSL 301Z

I was just wondering if anyone had a play with combining the Avondale 821a with RSL 301Z time aligned boards?

Just wondering if the time aligned boards add something worthwhile (besides remote that is ) or is it still better to use the Avondales with wire links.

Cheers.
