John Wood Audio, a tale of woe

I am surprised John Wood mentions he does not make amps with remote controls.
Here's a link to a J Wood amp that was listed for sale on the Wam - with a remote control.
I remember this simply because I was seriously considering buying it because of the remote control feature.

Interesting.... I shall ask John about that.

Btw, Deba, where are you from in the UK? We ask that all members put the area that they live in next to their country of origin on their profiles. Please do that at your earliest convenience. Ta! :)

Marco.

Fibs will out in the end, eh? I forgot about that one being sold

Thanks for pointing out Marco.

Furthermore do you really believe that County Court Judges are highly qualified and always make good decisions. A little naive I think.

A solution is required, not a procrastination of who is legally right or wrong.

Clive it's you that doesn't get it, to take your points in order

1) My late mother was a highly qualified legal secretary (specialising in patent and property law) so I grew up knowing the difference between a Civil and a Criminal case.

2) If Geoff appoints private bailiffs, they have the right to add their fees and costs to the distraint and will take goods for auction accordingly.

3) Six of my close relatives are either solicitors, barristers or advocates in the scottish courts and two of these are Judges and I know how long it took them to qualify. You have to be a solicitor or a barrister practising for at least five years after years of law school, articles or pupilage. Then after further exams The Judicial Appointments Commission, decides if they have the experience to be a judge. So yes, they are bloody highly qualified

I think it's you who is naive or I'm sorry to say foolish. The law is the law and should be upheld. Geoff I'm happy to recommend you bailiffs who have recovered money for me in the past if you wish to instruct them.

Oh dear I must have hit a raw nerve. SHOUTING about the law is not very constructive to this saga. Perhaps you could get one of your close relatives to sort out the mess.

Hi Clive,

With respect, the tone of your last post to Paul wasn't the friendliest, and a little confrontational. I know, however, that it wouldn't have been intentional, but if I picked up on that so probably did Paul, which is subsequently most likely why the tone of his reply to you was a little 'tetchy'.

The hazards sometimes of the written word, eh! :doh:

Marco.

This is what Mr Wood said about amplifiers with remote controls.

2) I don't and have never made remote volume power amps which was his first enquiry .


He's talking about power amps not integrated.


This is how I replied.

Not true, my original and only enquiry related to integrated amplifiers, Mr Wood quoted a price of £1,200.00, I asked whether he could build me one with a remote control, and he replied he could do one with remote volume control only for £1,300.00
