    Sorry about that Adrian, things were a bit hectic with other commitments at the time, and my health had not been good either.
    Good luck with the 75.

    They do seem to have a bit of a rep, don't they.

    But I've had multiple dealings with them, including some didn't-like-it-returns - rapid delivery, no hassle and all good.

    I got my TDS buffer off them and it also came better than in the photo, again also unsure what happened with the other one.

    It's arrived and out of the box but I cant do anything till I finish work in 3: hours.
    It's big and I mean big. I'm a little confused about something - my isoldas are terminated in bananas (yuk) and all the blurb says the 75 doesn't doesn't accept them - but quickly checking I can insert the bananas into the back of the binding posts no problem - so it appears it does accept them.

    I'm so nervous about putting in the valves and switching on....

    Roll on home time.

    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!”

    The 75s I have seen have had screw terminals.
