    Default Caption Competition Results

    OK folks, (if anyone's still interested)
    Here are the results to my Yuletide Caption Competition

    In reverse order:

    prize

    a

    deserves

    everyone

    that

    high

    so

    was

    standard

    the

    thought

    I


    even for those people who went for quantity rather than quality!!!!!!.

    And just to show there are no hard feelings on the religion front, I'm happy to send a prize to D Louth.

    But, please don't imagine for a minute, those of you who don't own turntables, that you'll make anything by selling your treasured trophy on Ebay!! You may find another use for it though.

    I'm not sure how to do this, but perhaps you guys can pm me with your addresses & I'll get your prizes in the post - I'll understand if you don't want to supply your details to me (a total stranger, who knows you all have valuable hifi gear in your houses- see below a quote from my first post to this forum to elaborate on this). If there's another way, then let me know.



    I use the name The Grand Wazoo rather reluctantly and here’s why.

    I have a thing about people using internet forums and using assumed names.

    I think that this can give licence to people to say things that they would not normally feel able to say. This encourages rudeness, crudeness and in the worst cases, probably libel. I do not believe that in a normal situation people should be able to say anything without accountability.

    However, in the case of this forum, I feel I have to alter my stance somewhat. The reason for this is that I will probably be speaking about highly desirable, valuable and portable possessions, worth, in total, far more than the new value of my family car. I will not do anything to allow the guys with the stripey shirts and the bags marked ‘swag’ to find out where my prized possessions reside. Therefore, I will not, in this case, be using my real name.

    OK guys, I've sent Primalsea & Muffinman their prizes. I was able to do that because they pm'ed me their postal addresses.

    I've found Dave Green Home's address from his website, so he get's a prize too.

    By my reckoning I'm waiting for Ali Tait, Filterlab and DLouth to send me their addresses. Or did I leave someone out?

    By the way, I said there'd be a prize or maybe 2. Well it's 2!!!!!

    I've sent the guys a covering note to explain what they've got & how to use them. I also asked them to try them out & report their findings on Art of Sound.

    PS I'm not trying to sell anything!!!

    If you don't want yours, then let me know & I'll offer it to the first taker - or maybe I'll run another competition!!

    Well, let's face it - you're in it up to your neck now, being the soon-to-be owner of 2 turntable related items!

    You may as well finish the job off & get yourself a turntable.

    I managed to track down DLouth, so that's it folks.

    I've done my bit so...........
    I'm expecting 6 full subjective and objective reviews of these products with photos & measurements asap.
    If you don't own a turntable - then you'd better get one quick.

    Merry bleedin' Christmas!!
