radio.raheem - 2013-07-04 07:21

radio.raheem - 2013-07-04 17:50

well made an offer and had one for £150...should be quite a monster as she weighs in at 16 kilos

brutus442 - 2013-07-04 19:20

Good luck Reno. I know nothing about this but every Technics piece of hardware I've owned has been rock solid. This should be no exception.

 

Hope you get her!

radio.raheem - 2013-07-04 19:39

All mine geoff just have to hope the postie doesn't strike...didn't really need her but atleast it's better than buying over priced boomboxes....i hope you're keeping well son...according to the weather were in for summer

 

yea didn't need her but we all have ocd or something like that lol

 

the technics im using now is insane my friend...talk about sub bass it's mental with the 33 band eq on her.....i need some 18 inch speakers lad....as my technics ones just can't handle the low end bass even on low lol...the kaboom has nothing on this setup lad

brutus442 - 2013-07-04 19:55

I wouldn't want to be your neighbour Reno!
 
I'm glad you got her and hope the posties stay on the job...

you can snag old Techincs "iron" for less than a ton in operable condition

 

HTH

radio.raheem - 2013-07-04 20:06

hell yrs ago id think nothing of 18 inch speakers...would play 2 sets at 200w rms all day lol....but im quite mellow these days lad....i actually don't like loud music these days...but my obsession with low end bass will never end

Why do you want it?

 

Price is too much Reno, here's a silver one which ended last week for less than £100

radio.raheem - 2013-07-05 01:48

to late i guess unless i don't pay....why do i want it....im collecting good amps chris lad instead of boomboxes....

 

and mine was £150 not 300

claret.badger - 2013-07-05 06:46

so what you're saying is Chris - I was on the money

 

 

Reno - if you want it and can afford it buy it

 

otherwise i'd hold tight - 150 is still a bit steep

this would have been a steal

I have one - and they will change your mind how you think about hifi
but BEWARE it starts a slippery slope into upgrade madness

ao - 2013-07-05 08:12

The older (pre-HDMI) home theatre amps are good value nowdays.

 

Like this - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yama...;hash=item1e7c851099

 

This was  £2k amp in it's day.

claret.badger - 2013-07-05 08:50

not really pure HIFI though is it?

 

too much potential "noise" on the sound path

 

I like my amps simple and with HUGE power supplies

 

(oh and the nait 3 was around 1400 quid when new in the 90's)

If the music is too loud Tim, you're too old... JK!

 

How about a pic of the system when it's integrated??

19lexicon78 - 2013-07-05 12:22

claret.badger - 2013-07-05 15:14

they'd have to be decoded properly Reno

 

it's for 5.1

 

no good for stereo

radio.raheem - 2013-07-05 15:20

can you explain a little more sir

radio.raheem - 2013-07-09 16:59

Well the amp i here...if possible forget 90's stuff this thing is savage...so savge it blew my sb500 tweeters within an hour....(lucky i had a spare pair) im actually thinking of sending this back it's just to savage or buy some 18"" bass bins lol

 

but i tell thee this.. the 33 band eq makes this thing just mega spastic lol
