He might be, but don't tell him.

Mr Kipling must be feeling repulsed

the bells! the bells!

The thing about beauty is that not only is it in the eye of the beholder but it's also relative too.

Wanna see something really ugly?





Never heard them but they are supposed to be very good and the design is clever. Looks are never a deal breaker for me but I'd make an exception for them. No way would I have that in my room.

It looks like a giant dog turd stood on end.

Like a cross between a nautilus and something from War of the Worlds. Super-ugly to me.

I bid on that Roksan transport but I wasn’t the second highest bidder.

Just the response I expected - which was why I posted them. So predictable.

Speakers actually look far more presentable in the flesh, than you might imagine. And their sound? You wouldn't believe it if I told you.

The top is obviously known to anyone with a certain level of knowledge of things Hi-Fi. Obviously, that would exclude you. It's the quite-sort-after Roksan ROK DP1 transport. The words "Iconic" & "Classic" are usually attached to it.

Hope the enlightenment is helpful.

I wouldn't buy them, then.

As they say:

You can please some of the people all of the time, all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time.

I thank you.

P.S.
My cakes aren't half as Sh#t as your grammar.

i came very close to buying a pair of ms pageants 3's with the sock covering,they seem to be very rare,never seen a pair on ebay before,this pair was in datford and bidding finished at £7!

If you had got the Pageant 3s for a tenner, you would have got a real bargain. My mate got a pair of the Carnivals in 1982 when they came out and on the end of a Rega 3 and Nait 1in a sparsely furnished room about 5x6 with concrete floor, they sounded pretty spectacular. Playing Pink Floyd's Time, is was easy to close your eyes suspend disbelief and imagine there was actually a Grandfather clock in the room chiming.

Another photo shows them in a different light. Not as ugly as they appeared at first, I have to admit.

I've only ever seen the Carnival & Festival 3s for sale on eBay. I have the Carnival 3s but have yet to try them as I never had leads until recently and didn't bother with speakers, just headphones, but really fancy the Festivals.

I'd start with 0.1uF or 0.2uF and go bigger until you get the results you like. Some may say those values are too small, but I can hear the effect with them.

With cap values that small, you're letting so little power through, you'll do no harm. Just don't bypass the ribbon matching transformer, that's the little box under the terminal plate.
