Feedback section for buyers and sellers

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.

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

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 :)

Lucky man , this is a very nice turntable :)

Thanks to Mike (Greenwood) for the mint-condition Sumiko headshell. This will allow me to re-listen to my Decca Mk. VI mounted in the GB block.

Thanks again.

Thanks to Guy (Guyb) for the Coltrane and Floyd discs. Both in excellent condition.

Cheers

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.

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:

Thanks to you too Barry; a pleasant and totally painless transaction. The mono's are very good and I am glad they have gone to somebody who will really appreciate them :)

Thanks to Tom (Montesquieu) for giving me the opportunity to join the Tannoy club. Great communication as regards to work commitments but still managed to squeeze in the deal ;) Ta.

My pleasure. Hope you enjoy the CDP .rgds.

Likewise Roy, a pleasure to deal with and thanks for you patience when I couldn't get them sent last Friday.

Quick shout to Al (mad moon) for the ADC headshell at an excellent price (nowt). I'll get it fitted this week.

Feedback for 'markiii'

Great buyer, paid instantly for the BX1s I was selling! Trustworthy fella!

thanks Dan, great price, quick delivery just what I needed. Pleasure doing business with you

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.

A big thanks to John (JohnB) who sold me his Funk Firm Achromat.
It's in excellent condition,
Many thank John!
Nathan.

Top marks to Nigel (vinylspinner) for the lightning fast despatch of the Reso-Mat. Beautifully packed and in perfect nick. Buy with confidence from this man.

Thanks

Peter

A BIG thank you to sazeracrye Steve for selling and sending his Garrard 301. The item as described and excellent packaging and very quick shipping thanks Mark !

A massive thanks to Audio Al for letting me have one of his tape decks so my sis can continue to enjoy her many 90s DJ mixes.

She's ower the moon with it.

Top man.:)

Thanks Monty (Paul),

Ortofon cart turned up today safe and sound, got it mounted to the second system at the moment (where I actually do most of my listening ) and it's working well.

Nice one.

Big thumbs up to Jake (lordmortlock) for the Denon 103 (to replace in the interim my trashed Zu 103:eek:). Exactly as described, bombproof packing and very swift dispatch.

Deal with confidence.

Peter

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...
