Careful Andre. Phil Allison might just accuse you of

Cheers,

As a teenager (just 18) I was in the forces and I
bought a pair of new 57's Quad 405 and 44 pre with an
LP12

Give most had something like Kenwood or Phillips or even
Technics my system got some strange looks lol

I wish I still had it :-( all paid for with "LOA" local
overseas allowance via a Sparkassa ? bot sure about
spelling bank loan

Years ago there was a loud salesman on RAHE called Steve
Zipser. His motto was: You demonstrate your commitment to
your sound by how much you spend. Eventually Zip was
disgraced when the took up the challenge of trying to
distinguish cables in a double blind test and,
predictably, failed. I imagine he now sells used cars in
Podunk.

The above contains the usual large number of factual errors that we have
come to expect from Jute posts.

(1) Zipser is the loud salesman who humuliated himself by failing to
distinguish amplifiers, not cables.

(2) Zipser died in bed some years ago, so him selling cars on this side of
the pale is impossible.

(3) The loud salesman who humiliated himself failing to distinguish cables
was named Singh.

(4) All of the above happened on RAO, not RAHE.
