What about the valves I sent you? I feel deeply hurt that I've been forgotten about and so will need to go for a little lie down

Ah!
On that note... a big (and belated) thanks to Marco for some valves and speaker cables, even though I don't like them very much (the cables that is). Cheers bud!
Another thank you to Chris (TGW) for the Nick Drake LP that arrived today.
Cheers...

I was distracted by wanting to watch 24 and not miss the start which at 9.06 I had.
Thank you Marco for your great generosity and help with the valves. They arrived as described and packed well and quickly.
Senior moment.....anyway quickly changing the subject what about the story..

I should like to thank Chris (TGW) for the 6 LPs he sent, arriving today and which I have just finished playing. Sorry if the following sounds a bit like positive eBay feedback, but the item descriptions were accurate, the items were in very good condition with new inner sleeves, had been cleaned and were well packed and promptly dispatched. All that and very resonably priced as well. Will expand my thoughts and impressions in the 'What are you playing now?' thread tomorrow, as it's late and I need to go to bed.
Again many thanks Chris,
Regards

Neil,
No worries, dude. I was just pulling your leg
Glad you're happy with the valves. Hope you get your amp sorted soon!
I'd also like to thank Chris for the records he sent me, which arrived just as Barry has described above
I've not listened to them yet but will do today and report in the music room.
Marco.

Vinyl Cleaning.
Can I post a very belated "Thanks" to Marco for his cleaning of my 30 year old LPs. I haven't actually played any of them after the cleaning process but that is irrelevant - the offer to do it deserves the thanks. His return postal service was excellent too, but that is between Marco and I ().
Cheers to Marco,
DaveK.

Hi All,
I just wanted to thank Mark (Reid Malenfant) for the purchase of his Beresford Caiman+ DAC. He double checked it was working correctly before sending, and also included a few free goodies should I want to do some modding. It arrived in Jersey in only two days, and was very well packaged.
I would highly recommend him to any potential purchaser, and look forward to dealing with him in the future.
Regards,
Darren

Cheers DarrenLikewise it was a pleasure dealing with Darren, lightning fast payment & a very courteous fellow indeed. Cheers for being patient Darren, i wouldn't dream of selling anything untested but the chance of listening to a decent system again for an evening spurred me on to try it out
ATB to you & enjoy the new lease of life from your AV player
Bests, Mark
