Default Scratched an itch today....

Hi Phil - how's the Debut going? :-)

It's still on my main system, sounds as good as the P3 and not worth the
effort to cart it up the stairs so it'll probably stay there for a while
yet! I'm very pleased with it :-)



Excellent!! :-)


Much like Caterham cars, I always wanted one as a kid when they were
cheap, simple, not much to look at and went like stink anyway. I prefer
stuff to look understated but still do the job where possible.



Yes, my philosophy entirely! I value function over form any day!



I notice their auction for one of these starts 2 quid below your winning
price this time round too.



Hmmm, prices creeping up already then! (There was one at £289 + P&P 'Buy
It Now' when I was bidding for mine!)


I reckon he's just testing the water a bit seeing if he can get the same
price as last time. No one has bid on it yet and it runs out tomorrow so
I'm going to see if the price drops again next time round. I assume they
get re-entered weekly as it's the same place you got yours from. Hope so!



They seem to be a pretty well organised substantial organisation:

I've since bought a cheapo sub on the basis 'it'll be good enough for HT'
from them (fingers crossed) - not due yet! (Tomorrow or Monday, I expect.)



Hmm, perhaps I'll wait a while for the Chinese to start making phono amps
too then.
I'll have a look round the link you posted when I get a quiet day next
week.



Two of them:

http://cattylink.com/

http://www.kwangwoo.co.kr/en/index.html

feature very attractive-looking phono stages, but I'm not sure how much they
would cost or how easy they would be to get hold of (a lot of these sites
are looking for importers, I suspect)??
