Dynatron Goldring deck, amp and Royd A14 speakers

Here’s an interesting auction; A Dynatron Goldring G101 belt driven turntable with integrated 4-channel Quadrophonic amp and a pair of Royd A14 speakers. I’m struggling to find much information on this setup. However the Vinyl Engine site does list the G101 deck on its own, and describes it as an ‘elegant unit with the Goldring insistence on precision and quality, and is very economical.’ Either way, it could be worth a punt.

Royd Revelation Range RR1 Speakers

These speakers are very rare and hardly ever hit the second hand market. However here is a pair, on ebay right now, go check them out and snap them up!

Added Topaz Review

I’ve finally found a review of the Royd Topaz, from What Hi-Fi? April 1994. The Topaz was a budget 7 ltr stand mount speaker, that never gained a huge popularity, despite its respectable performance. Read the full review here.

Hi-Fi Hunter.com: Launch of Sister Site

I have been busy over the last few months developing a new Hi-Fi website; www.HiFiHunter.com – Second Hand Search Engine. This new website aims to be a one stop shop search engine for hunting down second hand and ex-demo Hi-Fi and home cinema gear. It covers a multitude of classifieds sites, forums, ebay, and dealer websites.

Please pop by and check it out, it should be useful for finding Royd speakers across the second hand market.

New Royd Eden Review

Just added a review of the Royd Eden’s from Hi-Fi Choice, January 1989. The Eden’s are a strange small speaker, that are incredible heavy and polarised the reviewer opinions. Check out the full review here.

Sintra Review

Just added a review of the original Sintra, from Hi-Fi Choice, January 1991, which you can find here. The Sintra has always been one of Royd’s top end 7ltr stand mount models and has a strong reputation for being one of his best. Its rarity only compounds this.

It may not have escaped your notice, that the rare is currently on right now. Well worth checking out, as this models pops only once in a blue moon.
