Well at least the 7000 system has a very good chance of working. I have an incurable affliction of buying old Beocord 5000s from the 70s knowing the chances of me ever getting them to work is nil. Even wise words from Martin hasn't seemed to help stop this sad behaviour. Cleve

[quote user="burantek"] Cleve, I am aware from previous posts that you have been hunting for some S45 stands... I would have posted to you earlier, but I thought you would have found a pair in the UK by now. I THINK that I MIGHT (need to check just what I have) have a pair or two if you are interested in shipping from the states ...not sure

The Gramophone used to be the source of review for classical music, highly authoritative with, in most cases, really well written reviews. Their equipment reviews, usually no more than 2 or 3 a month, were undertaken by technically knowledgable music lovers with test equipment, most of whom were very sceptical of some of the 'emperor's new clothes'
