You're very kind!
Unfortunately (for me and my friends), Cricklewood is too out of the way as the trip would mean a trip on the train from, at least, Woking where I live. But I really appreciate your offer and if something arises that means I must go to North London or whereabouts I will surely accept it eagerly.
I must say that I just cannot believe the kindness of people here in this forum. Is it because we all understand how much misguided wrath we receive from our significant others? :lolsign:

Alex; I'm only a few miles from both Cricklewood and Woking, if you want them give me a shout and I can get them collected from Cricklewood and run them over to you in Woking no problem at all.

Let me know. :)

No one here actually...

It's this guy:

The 'Mod' refers to the youth culture movement in the 60's, as opposed to rockers. Paul Weller is a modern or second wave Mod for example.

Ahh I see, I thought there'd be some more recruiting in my absence. :lol:

Alex,
give us your address and i'll pop a set of ixos I/C's in the post.

lovin' this helping out lark

Top bombing, very kind Muffin. I've PM'd John and awaiting his reply about the stands (collect date). We'll get more folk into this hi-fi lark!

Ok, an update on the 100 quid hifi project:

Rob has kindly offered to pick up the stands from John's and is coming on Saturday to leave them at our flat. Apparently there are some extra goodies! Top men both of them.
Muffinman has sent some interconnects that should arrive soon. Top man too.
I just picked up a pair of Monitor Audio R252, which are a bit tatty, one with a poked tweeter and everything (kind of fixed that), but sound fine with my Inca Tech Claymore so should be ok. The price? £5! Yep. I thought for that price it was worth the risk. I'll audition them for the while and if I like them more than my Mission 761s I'll just loan the Missions indefinitely to my friends. Of course it's up to my wife too!

Roger and out!

END OF COMMUNICATION

Stands collected last night, more interconnects than you can shake a stick at, haven't checked my speaker cable situation yet but I should be able to find some. Coming together Alex. ;)

Ok... I might regret this. But....

I'll offer a Goldring Lenco GL75 turntable, I won't turn down any offers to help with postage ;). There's a small caveat however, it needs a tonearm!

I'm also happy to make any interconnects that may be required. :)

Any good?

:wow:
:wow:

I don't know what to say after all the generosity displayed in this forum. I'll have to get back on the Lenco offer and ask my friend, but I'll try and do a good job in convincing him! I'm sure he would pay for the courier. Any idea for the tonearm? I've got a spare Shure Mx97e that I'll give him for starters if he goes that route. Bear in mind that they still need an amplifier... incredibly, they haven't spent a penny yet, and already have speakers, stands, cables aplenty and maybe a turntable sans tonearm.

I really don't know what to say. I need a beer! :beer::beer:

To all artofsounders out there: :respect:
