Hi Dave

Having had Opioids myself several times in hospital and at home to cope post heart op, my experience is that it can take quite a few weeks for them to leave your system fully. Also if you have had an operation, I was told for every hour you are under anaesthetic it will take a week to loose the effects. I was under fo 6 weeks and felt pooh for 8 weeks.

If you have been given Tramadol, if they have not advised you it is best to ween yourself off over 2 weeks, so for example if on 3 tabs a day, remove one for 5 days, then drop another for 5 days and then another for 5. Hoepfully will suffer withdrawal and paranoia less. By the way they are much stronger than you may realise, I was on 3 * 15mg a day, and went out walking a dog and a chap came up to me and asked how I was doing, I blanked him and told him I did not know him, I actually had known him for 10 years, I think I was another planet.

Hope you recover soon.

Cheers:)

Not logged in for an age, but just wanted to send my best Dave.

I'm still in Wales and still planning on moving (one day) near to your neck of the woods - so hopefully one day I can pop in to say hello.

Take care old bean :)

Hi Tim, thanks. Look forward to that.

Thanks for all your help and advice , Dave.
The Croft Integrated arrived yesterday. Not much listening time as yet, but impressed with what I’m hearing so far.
Glad I’d read up about reversing the speaker cables at the speaker end. Though, I’m not convinced that I would have heard any difference had they been wired ‘conventionally’.
I just need to stop myself fiddling about with the stock valves!!

So glad you are enjoying your Croft Integrated and hope it gives you many years of great listening.

TBH I often forget to reverse the polarity of the speakers but it's no biggie and often depends on the recording if you can hear it at all.

[hifi_dave]

More bargains added to the Bargain Basement including a Croft Integrated-r on it's way.

All as new.

Hi Dave
On your “Bargain Basement” list, is any of the Croft still available (excluding the Integrated-R) which you mentioned?
Stuart

[hifi_dave]

I have a few Croft amps still for sale. What is it you are looking for ?

[MisterMoseley]

Nothing specific, although i did consider briefly whether it would be an option to swap out my integrated for separate pre and powers. Daft in many ways because I haven’t had it (the integrated) long and have not really scratched the surface of what it can do. Common sense tells me to run with what I’ve got and enjoy it.
On a more practical note, I sometimes see messages on a couple of other forums ‘ Croft kit wanted’ or similar and if you’re happy for me to do so, then I’d point them your way.

[hifi_dave]

Well the pre + power combinations sound better than the integrated MM, so there is plenty of scope to improve.

I haven't much remaining, it all went very quickly but thanks for the offer.

I've done it. Taken me about 3 years but I have been shown how to post pics using a MacBook..:carrot:

Providing I can remember how to do it, I will post some pics of new gear.

The above pics are of the Rega Aethos amplifier.

Congratulations Dave :yay:

[hifi_dave]

Thanks..:thumbsup:

[walpurgis]

Well done Dave! :thumbsup:

[hifi_dave]

Thanks. You'd think I've climbed Everest.

Was a mountain to me though..:scratch:

Checking I can still do it. A little delivery.

New items added to the Bargain Basement including a brand new, sealed pair of PMC Twenty5 26i in Diamond Black @ £6500 which is rock bottom trade and a saving
of £3500.

[pcourtney]

WOW - Magnificent - They should go pretty quickly Dave :-)

[hifi_dave]

They are indeed magnificent and a great price being trade.

They haven't gone yet but I often wonder if people think the 'bargains' are too good to be true. I've sold quite a few items at trade price but it's like pulling teeth, people are so suspicious but you don't get to be in business for over 50 years by being shady..:trust:

[hifi_dave]

Several new and very real bargains now available and if you don't see what you want - ASK.
