    I bet you wouldn't ask Marco how much his kit was retail.
    Why wouldn't I ask Marco how much his deck cost?

    I'm guessing £7k but not really interested to be honest, dunno why the big deal about asking how much your arm/cart costs as a quick google reveals the retail price anyway, the point I was making is that the arm/cart combo would improve any deck, no?

    Truth is always new, totally unknown, and unknowable. The mind must come to it without any demand, without any knowledge,without any wish; it must be empty, completely naked. Then only truth may happen. But you cannot invite it.

    Your kidding, you really think that putting a TT power supply on top of a electrically noisy Sky box is a good idea.
