    Default Waiting for the Truth

    Hailed by Arthur Salvatore as the most significant HiFi component currently available, my own The Truth linestage has been languishing with customs for almost 3 weeks. Numerous phonecalls have led nowhere and it seems I won't have my Christmas present at the one time of year when i actually have a holiday and lots of time to listen. Am I p*ssed off? Too bloody right.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    I doubt if customs know it uses photocells, but they may query the price of something which looks to have a DIY build.

    I don't think they'll know it uses photocells - they may have an issue with the price but after speaking with them they can't offer an explanation and have said they'll get back to me with a solution (to a problem they don't understand).

    The solution is simple, tell me how much and deliver the bloody thing.

    I've had a custom wooden sleeve made for it that matches the Vida.

    Grrrrrr - no Santa.

    I've had all sorts items sent from the other side of the world and not had real issues, apart from the odd delay for duty payment before items were released for delivery. I did have a batch or two of LDR's sent without bother.

    Maybe if there were wires dangling out of the package it's been destroyed in a controlled explosion but they haven't got the heart to tell you??

    Maybe there's something in the saying "The Truth hurts". Hope you get it sorted and that it will prove worth the wait.
