Anyone else have contact issues with Watford Valve?
I placed an order with them over a week ago and got an automated reply.
Since then I've had nothing further and no reply to email.
Tried on the phone several times this afternoon - ringing out.
I know they aren't a big outfit and I've had no hassles in the past but it's a bit irritating.
Anyone else having comms issues?
(Mercury is retrograde the wife tells me so that may explain things of course ...)
They didn't correspond with me at all when I ordered with them but the valves did arrive!

I ordered valves from them, no correspondence but valves arrived about a week later.

If communication turns out lacking in the end. Leave them bad feedback.

Glad to be back.....thanksBigman
Well my five Tesla PCC88's finally arrived but I had a sense of foreboding when they got here as they were packed in a thin padded envelope, rather than boxes, so who knows what kind of trip they have had?
And sure enough when I put them in, I was getting oscilation/noise from one channel (sending the meters on my EAR 912 haywire). I swapped things around and put an original Tim de P PCC88 in in one spot and it seemed to calm things down, but I think the fault must be intermittent as it came back when I switched the amp on again from cold.
All was restored to normality when I put all 5 original valves in. So the fault is somewhere in the new set.
Very disappointing - I'm sending them back, though I haven't had any sort of reply from Watford valve since I informed them. I have to say their performance is pretty poor in responding to all of this, not a peep back from when I first reported it a few days ago.

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!”
