It won't work on my current tonearm so it's no use to me.
So I'll drop it to £625 inc UK postage for a few days then it'll disappear into the cupboard never to be seen again.

Amazon came up as an option when I was trying to find a way to send my 33kg power amp to Manchester, they were a good bit more expensive than the company I eventually went with, Amp on a Micro Pallet, total weight approx 40kg - £84, picked it up from here afternoon one day and it was delivered before 12 noon next day.
Amp then went in a container to Spain, that part took 15 days from the time it was booked into the container as they only send it filled.
Arrived in Valencia exactly as it left here.
PalletOnline took care of the Manchester journey, no idea about the Spanish trip, the buyer organised that part, so the risk for that was all his.
I'd definitely use PalletOnline for heavy items again.

So my new dac off eBay was posted yesterday via Royal Mail 24 (which is labelled ‘Priority’ on their website).
Checked tracking tonight as it was a no show today and tracking says it should be delivered on Tuesday but it’s not guaranteed.
I had asked the seller if he could post Special Delivery and I’d pay the £3.50 difference but he declined saying RM24 is just as good, I said I wasn’t so sure about that………. How right was I lol

Porch thieves are being reported in our area!
On top of that Royal Mail are taking 3 weeks or more to delivery letters as they're prioritising parcels.
Let the choas begin for people not paying bills etc

This was retipped with the correct diamond, same as the original in case you have any doubts about how it sounds, previous owner couldn't tell the difference to his other one that he owned at the same time.

Gave Boat Story about 20 minutes, oh dear what a pile of cack, not for us I’m afraid. It was trying too hard to be something cool, I mean how many times do we need to see the fight scene in the background whilst shit music plays in the foreground. Oh look a fortune in coke and 2 dead bodies let’s steal the coke we can make a fortune, yip happens everyday round here lol, I know it’s fiction and meant to be black comedy but oh dear.
Each to their own I know.
Need to find something else for the rest of the week.

I've seen that one been on for a while, import fees and 20% vat to be added makes it far too expensive.

May I ask what is the draw of this particular model? Clearly values are holding and I'm wondering why? You can get a lot of amplifier for £800 but I'm sure I'm missing something. Mark 2 can run in Class A with a flick of the switch and is harder to find than the Mark 1. You need to hear one of these to know If I'd bought mine at the start of my journey I'd have saved a fortune. Excellent phono stage in them too.

A Mark II has now appeared on ebay from Germany but it's £800 plus import fees and vat so it's too expensive at that.

Guys is it any kind of a major story over there about what happened to Adam Johnson the hockey player during a game yesterday in Sheffield UK? I ask because I hang out on message boards for my hockey team and also for the NHL as a whole. People are shook by this. 3 of our prospects who play in Providence RI were playing with a neck guard today, which they never did before, and it's a direct result of what happened yesterday in Sheffield. www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-67419951

Saw that one earlier today, I already have one of those in daily use Thanks for the headsup though. Just remember if anyone fancied that one on eBay it'll be costly to send over from Japan plus 20% Vat on top too. It's also a 100v version. This is my one.....

As soon as I saw Jensen was billed to be in the new series of Shetland I had reservations, you've confirmed my doubts. The daft thing is, Shetland is so good it will probably take a lot more than Ashley Jensen to wreck it, and episode one wasn't bad. I'm definitely sticking with it, and I'll try to overcome my prejudices and give it a fair shake. We’ll do the same 😊
