  • Hi Dave and co
    Just to say I have popped over to the dark side again to see what all this SECA malarky is about. Managed to steal Ben’s ID25 from him with a view to upgrading it with Colin’s new boards. Still have my Royd RR1’s and NVA kit so interested to compare the SECA driving the Royds. That’ s the plan anyway. 

    Best

  • Thanks Mervyn.
    Had mixed feelings about selling the ID25, but hopefully the One4 SECA, TOCA SECA and Claymore will be enough for me!
    Certainly I haven't looked back since finding Colin's SECAs.
    I will follow your upgrading with interest.
  • Hi Mervyn.
    Good to see you again.
    The SECA and Royds go together like a dream, as Colin will tell you.
  • My RR3s loved a 12W SECA, then a pair of 27W. Really outstanding stuff!

    Nice to see see you again, Mervyn. Glad the NVA is still doing its magic too.
  • Hello there, 

    I am Darryl former Essex Hi-Fi dealer and record shop owner and seller of studio stuff and ex of the original 80's Roksan crew. Still selling and setting up turntables and still liking to move speakers around. Looking forward to chatting and sharing knowledge. Big fan of gear like Inca Tech, TOCA, Ion systems, Heed and Electrocompaniet, Sugden and some Valve bits. Also DJ a bit still on the Jazz, Soul and electronic music scenes. Enjoying the vinyl renaissance. Say Hi if you remember me from the trade.  

    Best wishes

    The Magnum MF250 is a bit long in the tooth now and need to be recapped I reckon and possibly need to be  upgraded or modded.Any suggestions would be most welcome esp. from Colin Wonfor


  • Hi Kamali, welcome to Chews.

    Nice kit you've got.

    There are a few people who who may be able to give you some thoughts on your Magnum.
  • Hi Kamali

    Welcome, and congratulations on a great stash of interesting kit! 

    Colin will definitely advise you on the Maggie, but those parts were hugely over specified (and even are by today's standards) that you shouldn't worry too much. However, your hot climate won't help, so let's say what the professor says.
  • How do I get in touch with the legendary Mr. C Wonfor?
