Indeed it was. Steve's really good at what he does. His craftmanship is superb, and so more people should use the services he offers :)
As for distance, well TBH, I'll drive anywhere, if in doing so it results in my system being improved in some way, and in turn my enjoyment of music.
I drove all the way from Wrexham to Penzance, in a day and back, to collect my Lockwoods from Big Ears Audio, and when I was living in Scotland, once drove from Glasgow to Bath, in a day and back, to collect some Spendor SP1s from The Right Note.
If I want something badly enough, matey, I'll do whatever it takes to get it! :eyebrows:
Marco.
