I bought them anyway, to try between amp and CD player against the digital connection.

That price was absolutely stupid, and I know how good they are.

It never rains but it f*cking well pours, does it? After buying that second set of Red River connects that I honestly didn't actually need, what do I find on eBay tonight? The AQ 'Big Sur' interconnects that I've been wanting to try out for ages. Oh well, it's only money.

There's something about a plain rectangular black box with a seemingly random assortment of valves sticking out of the top that just makes me want to giggle.

It's the price that makes me giggle, HiFi bits really are a profiteers dream. Big empty boxes with a few hundred £/$s worth of bits inside.

The AQ 'Big Sur' interconnects that I've been wanting to try out for ages. Oh well, it's only money. One thing I realised on Ebay was that complete and utter bargin I missed would soon be along again, often at less money. As we get older, rather than maturing we need to curb our innermost eejit Occasionally I'm successful asking myself the future question What will I be doing with this in a few months ?

The good sign on that subject is that they look well and truly used, and don't come in a nice blurry box, so I'm pretty sure they're genuine.

... a mere 100wpc would seem very weedy after my bi-amped 350wpc. And anyway, it's not black. I'm into black on my rack.

Am sure it's a decent amp but I just can't be bothered with tubes any more ... Imagine the bill to retube something like that with quality tubes.

hmm, yes, I know what you mean and it's probably not easily rebiased without delving inside, which rules it out for me. I'm not bothered about 'quality tubes', ime the right cheap ones can sound excellent. I do have an ongoing 'valve itch'. Just waiting for the right amp to come along.

I always read good things about Prima Luna amps so hope it does the business - have you picked it up yet?
