just stumbled this on youtube, really love the look of this bit of kit, anyone got one

I didn't even know Philips made high end seperates i'm loving finding this stuff

check the needle meters on this baby

and wait there's more.....

i never knew Philips had anything to do with Marantz Nick, thanks for that info.

i,ve never been that up on seperates tbh but i just like the look of the above stuff it seems to have great reviews on the sites.

yeah il'e check em out Nick, just stumbled this beauty, now this does look the part

now these are nice seperates azz mate,you cant beat seperates,but thats the hifi side of me coming out again-seperates are fantastic,as long as you pair them up with a really decent pair of speakers,as these and the main amp are the heart of the system,but golly gosh bro some of these can go really mega loud so beware-if you do buy any

Philips did a line in the 70's called Black Tulip iirc

check it out

also just so you know

the Philips CD 9 mech is used in ALL high end CD players made by other manufacturers

I'm afraid that is NOT technically seperates - that is a tower system

the difference being - you'd buy that as a set - and the units themselves would not "normally" be for sale seperately - perhaps maybe the optional EQ or double tape unit

Tower systems are notoriously made with ALL show and no go

quality is lacking and features will be "stacking" - also look for cheap ribbon interconects or cheap speaker terminals, common power supply from the amp - or even worse a combined tuner/amp section

hth

ha ha don't think il'e ever be buying any Andy, my neighbours would have me out in no time lol and Nick cheers for the much useful info here mate, I have heard the black tulip name mentioned before, I will check it out

this is the black tulip set up from Philips then ye, looks amazing 

 and this

now im drooling bro.....nice stuff

me too mate
