My guess is that if you already have a single user "HiFi" account the only difference is the number of users (and the higher price of course), but if you have HiFi Plus you won't get "Master Quality audio, Dolby Atmos, Sony 360 Reality Audio". HiFi seems to be capped at 1411 kbps, HiFi Plus at...

Thank you all! Found the serial number on a sticker under the inner platter, it's from 74-76. Also managed to find out the tonearm is a Hadcock GH-228.

I'll sort out some photos later. The PSU is similar sized to a Naim NAPSC (maybe a bit larger)

I just got hold of an LP12 and I'm wondering if someone can help me where to start with it? I'm trying to find out the approximate age but since the sticker is missing I have no idea what serial number it has, or is the serial number printed on any other place on the deck? It has silver...

I agree with you, in general. It's just that I think I'd like to keep them original, but if I can't repair or replace them I suppose I'll go for the Seas.

Yes, you're absolutely correct. It has the HF2001. I think I read somewhere it was basically the same tweeter except for the "back" bit of the tweeter was more sturdy. Oh, I guess I'll hold out for a used HF2001 or try to find someone that can replace the diaphragm.

I just got hold of a lovely pair of Celestion Ditton 442 which are in a fabulous condition except for one of the tweeters aren't working. Anyone in here have experience from going the Seas route? Or does anyone know of anyone in the UK repairing the HF2000? I've seen diaphragms are sold on eBay...

Does anyone here know of someone that can service Bonnec? I have a preamp, poweramp and cd that I’d like to have someone look them over since they’ve not been used for some time.

Thank you guys! I sent PMC an email almost two weeks ago but no reply yet, so I thought I'd try to find another source but it seems the woofers are "custom made" so PMC will be the only source. I'll hold out for a reply from them hopefully soon. And yes, I'm dreading the quote for a new woofer! :)

Does anyone know what woofer PMC used in the GB1? On the back of the driver "13PR70BX-01HW 0279-E" is printed, but I can't find anything when googling this. Thanks!

Studded tyres are becoming more and more unusual even in Sweden from Stockholm and south of it. We're by law required to have M+S marked tyres between 1 Dec - 30th Mar (I believe it is), most actually use non-studded winter tyres (of course it depends on in what part of Sweden you live). Studded...

I bought a pair of KEF XQ5s a few months back and always felt they sounded a bit odd, the stereo imaging wasn't what I expected. It was kind of diffuse, and it almost sounded as I've connected the + to - and vice versa (not as obvious but kind of). Anyways, dismounted the speaker and realized...

Does anyone know what the differences are between the Studio 20 and Studio 20 SE? I can't find any information about them, and they look identical (to me at least)

I sent you a PM regarding this. Thank you!

I stumbled upon a set of Marantz separates from the early 70s, and quite enjoying myself tidying them up at the moment and they look almost like new! Anyways. I'm not sure when these were even turned on the last time and the seller sold many items from this large house and had no further...
