I got one of these from this very chap in China, for a mate's TD125. It came last week and I installed it and set up an ancient Jelco from the early 80s on the deck for him. Lovely bit of kit it finishrd in black, easy set up. Don't be put off by the location, VAT was a bit of a sting.

Cheers

Looks like a nice piece of engineering.

Paul,

Thanks for the reassuring words regarding quality, still waiting for mine to enable me to mount my Stogi on my 401,
it's a no brainer for the price,i like the idea i could alternate between the Kuzma and my SME IV whenever the mood takes me.

Regarding the VAT, how big a hit was the it ?, :hmm: don't know if it makes any difference, i instructed seller to declare 'gift' at £15.00 level, we shall see.

All in all with postage, handling and VAT. I paid £57.55. It took about three weeks to arrive, 5 mins to fit, 10 mins to set up, three glasses of '01 Nuit St. Georges, 1 large Remy Martin and an evening of Blues, Rock and Jazz to enjoy. My mate Deke had not played his vinyl for 12 years and he keeps phoning to say that it was the best £450.00 he had ever spent:) Mind you I just told him how much a Loricraft RCM is going to st him back:eek:

Oh that's o.k., i paid roughly the same as you, it just fluctuates a little day by day due to the exchange rate,
i thought it was customs that got a hold of it and slapped one on you.

Sounds like a lush evening with the booze flowing. :D

Could SoundSupports make something for you at a reasonable price I wonder?

I haven't a clue of they're good people or not, but might be worth asking them if all else fails...
