This was doing the rounds on one of the groups. Might help if I put the link in.

Stacked Quads? Serious LP collection.
Can't identify the two arm TT or silver amplifier, presume not included in sale. Nice place to be locked down in, perhaps even snowed in?

Yes. One guesses it wouldn't be included. 👍

Looks a bit like a replinthed empire going by the colour of it. The amp has something of a fisher dyanaco look to it, though when I saw the power amp I thought maybe Marantz 9 ? LP shelves look a big saggy, but I daresay that at 2 and a quarter million quid you would have enough left in the piggy bank to fix them ?

Yeah, I disapprove of "saggy" leaning LP's too.
If you can't fill the shelves, at least get some bookends, likely best even thin metal right angle ones, to hold them up straight!

Indeed it is... Marantz Model 7 preamp!
 Damned fine collection. My guess is that there's a vintage Marantz tube amp lurking down below

Those stacked Quads are a nasty load I hear, need a tube amp.
SS amps need not apply (unless you're a Quad 303/405/606). Lifetime membership to this forum if you can correctly identify the pickup cartridges  Looks to me like a DL-103 on the Durand. DarkLantern blog - darklanternforowen.wordpress.com

Yes, 103 or 103R.
I think the back one may be an Hana SL (very blurred so happy to be wrong)

oh, yeah, I forgot!
You must all be very rich as no one commented on the sale price...

No mention of stereo in the chattels, but 18 mins from St Pancras, still a bargain.

Considering that this was what came out of a blow-up of one of the original photos:  But another one showed it more completely, and what looks like a (Marantz also?) power amp below, circled.  And there's another perhaps piece of equipment partially hidden here.  Oh well! Some fun admiring and imagining living there! Undoubtedly some happy times were had around that kitchen table ;-)

Great detective work guys !
Leaning records... ugh ! Not sure Quad SS would drive stacked Quads, they are barely capable of running single 57s

Yeo - thanks for all the answers 😊 I would've thought stacked Quads would represent an easier load to an amplifier like the way two drivers in parallel would double the impedance - or perhaps I am completely off track lol.

Two in parallel = half the impedance.
Down to 0.9 ohms I read  (In the HF end.) DarkLantern blog - darklanternforowen.wordpress.com

You could do a stack in series too
Back in the day the Mark Levinson ML2 (25wpc Class A) was a popular amp to use with stacked Quads. And there are various ways to stack them... like the set in the house ad or...
