    Default MS Audio phono sockets

    Hi

    I have some Klotz MC5000 cable left over from a diy amp build and thought i'd make up a cable to join the pre and power. It looks like people think highly of the MS audio phono sockets for use with this cable. Are there any UK distibutors? all i can find is a seller in Taiwan on ebay.

    Many thanks, Si

    If you mean here http://stores.ebay.co.uk/tortoise668...fsub=965501619 I believe that's Kevin at Vintage Audio Lab under a new name for ebay UK. I get mine from him, he's always been OK.

    A pet hate of mine are on-line dealers/retailers that don't provide a contact telephone number. I prefer speaking to people, not emailing them, where after doing so, sometimes you can wait forever for a reply, if indeed you get one at all....
