Thanks very much to Bill (Boureendboy) for the Klotz MC5000 inter-connect cables. Beautifully put together; they look superb. Bill sent them very thoroughly packaged and they were sent very promptly too. Thanks for another great transaction Bill. I'm looking forward to sitting and listening to these over the Easter weekend.

Many thanks to julesd68 for his excellent Garrott P77i cartridge. Top notch item and super rapid delivery. It sounds absolutely great.

[julesd68]

Nice one, thanks Charlie - been a pleasure doing business with you ...

[Barry]

Many thanks to Mike (Idlewithnodrive) for selling me Duncan's (tubehunter) pair of monoblocked and modified Quad 405-2s. When Duncan first advertised them for sale, by the time I got around to expressing an interest in them Mike had already made an offer that had been accepted.

For some reason Mike later decided the amps were not for him, and knowing I had expresed an interest in them, offered me first refusal; an offer I gratefully accepted.

They are excellent, both sonically and cosmetically. There is a little more work I want to do on them: convert the single ended input to a is balanced input; and to reduce the sensitivity to 1V for full output. It had always been an intention of mine to monoblock a pair of 405-2s, as well as upgrade them to Keith Snook's final level. The hard work (and more) has already been done for me by Duncan!

So again thank you Mike (and thank you Duncan).

Thanks a bunch to Grant (Struth) for the Thorens TD160B.
It was delivered today by UPS, but could have well been airdropped from 60000 feet and have still arrived in the perfect condition it did.
It was packaged that well!
The whole transaction was as easy as it could have been and i’m over the moon with my new TT. It really is a thing of beauty :drool:
Just need my new arm to arrive and set it all up and i’m good to go :)

I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I had my Harman Kardon Amp fixed today by Jez Arkless. He was a pleasure to deal with, asking nothing up front and carrying out quite a few repairs to it in just a couple of hours. What was a very sick amp this morning is now singing happily in my living room this afternoon. I'm well impressed and will undoubtedly use and recommend Jez in future. If I need a phono stage in future, his will be top of my list. Very much appreciated.

[julesd68]

Many thanks to Mike Greenwood for being a gent to deal with and am now enjoying my new cdp that he packed so well ... :cool:

A massive thank you to Grant who very kindly let me have his old Lenco GL75 tonearm and all the accessories.

This was an extremely generous offer and is very much appreciated especially as it got to me in less than 24 hours! The Scottish postal system must be S%*t Hot!

I am always touched by the generosity of folk on the AOS site who have helped me no end to get my system to where it is either with advice, technical help and in this case hardware!

Once again a big THANKYOU to Grant.

Huge thanks to Jollyfix for coming to my aid after my Arcam amp turned it's toes up last weekend. I placed a wanted ad which was quickly replied to and a deal was done.
Today the X-150 arrived the day after posting and I'm over the moon with it. A very deceptive little powerhouse of an amp...

To be honest I was not expecting what this valve has done in the line stage. Big soundstage with fantastic three dimensional image and great depth. More details in the background and a very solid big hearty sound.

This has elevated the sound of my system and given it a bit of liquid valve magic!

A very big thank you to Peter (petrat) for selling me his SME M2-12R arm.

He gave me the arm when we met at MiBO in November, but was quite prepared to wait for 'final payment', a gesture that was greatly appreciated at the time owing to 'cash flow limitations' on my part.

Peter is a real gentleman and his patience and understanding in this matter only goes to show the level of friendliness, helpfulness, and integrity and trust engendered by the Forum.

Again many thanks Peter

Ian Mac for my turntable bearing that has made a noticeable difference at a very low cost. Delivered next day as promised.:)

Mickeyb for the quick next day delivery of the Ortofon 2m Black cart. Big chunk of money sent but very honest guy thank you:) Loving the sound now its set up.

And last Mike Music for my Jelco arm and Oyaide cables. Another big chunk of money sent all on trust and worked out fine. Such a nice guy who spoke on the phone giving upgrade advice etc:). Thank you all:D

But on a down side I am now broke due to the expense and will have to sell it all and by a Lidl special :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

The last bit was a joke. And happy to say my SL1210 is now singing:eek:

Great site great members. Nice to see people not trying to rip each other off:D

[petrat]

A very big thank you to Peter (petrat) for selling me his SME M2-12R arm.

He gave me the arm when we met at MiBO in November, but was quite prepared to wait for 'final payment', a gesture that was greatly appreciated at the time owing to 'cash flow limitations' on my part.

Peter is a real gentleman and his patience and understanding in this matter only goes to show the level of friendliness, helpfulness, and integrity and trust engendered by the Forum.

Again many thanks Peter

Barry

A pleasure, Barry! Glad it's gone to a good home and someone who will appreciate it.

[Antinchip]

Thanks to Mauro AKA "Gerlando" for a pleasant and ultimately rewarding transaction. The Croft RIAA-R phono stage is very fine indeed. Off to spin some more vinyl.

tks Loz it was a pleasure to meet you -- I'm not sure I know my stuff - certainly compared to lots of people on here but I do enjoy music and sharing ideas which is what it is all about for me .... I chastise myself for swapping gear too often but now accept that I infact get a lot of pleasure from simply hearing different components, it doesn't sound as noble and romantic as just listening to music but it makes me smile so cant be all bad .... enjoy the KEFs - I liked them and the fact that they divide opinion is no bad thing for me - maybe it suggests they aren't transparent but they worked for me ! ////// and lastly apologies to anyone I've dealt with in the past as i didnt know this thread existed !

[JimC]

A big thank-you to Bigman80 for a very smooth sale of his Denon Cartridge.

I asked for the posting of this to be delayed due to the XMAS rush to which he very obligingly agreed.
The Cartridge arrived very well packaged this Morning safe and sound.

A very nice Chap to deal with all round.

Thanks again Oliver.

Disappointing experience swapping valves with agk (Andrew).. His good pair of Mazda ECC83 were one mid life tube, one gassy and dangerous, they weren't identical construction either. His response?
