    I'm getting very funny but not serious answers and most of all, not from Alfie...
    You know Mr Poirot we do have adapters in Greece...
    I can understand supporting your friend but the ugly truth is that mains could be send in a small separate box. But he neglected to do so.
    When someone buys an appliance new or used, mains is in the box.

    The last sentence sums up the problem. The sales section of this forum is not eBay, Ali express or a discount shop. It’s a facility for forum members to enjoy.
    The general accepted behaviour (as has been gently pointed out to you) is for forum members is not to include a mains cable ( exception being really unless it’s a power supply for a specific voltage).
    It’s a cheap kettle lead globally available and does not render the amp unfit for use.

    Blimey, I’d happily send him one of the dozen or so I have sitting around doing nothing just so no more posts appear on this thread.

    If you've got a dozen of them sat around then there must be some poor forum member sitting in a quiet room with 12 pieces of kit sat in the rack doing nothing as he's missing the power cables

    Hello George, from what you write it seems the convention in Greece must be to always include a mains lead even for 2nd or 3rd hand , however in the UK & USA my experience of buying hifi items is that unless they are hard wired into the piece of kit, the buyer has the opportunity to buy any mains cable they want to connect it to the mains, sometimes manufacturers do include a power lead but this is always explicitly mentioned, from what i can see you got exactly what you bought and i'd take the opportunity to put whatever choice of power lead you like on the croft to maximise its performance ...my own particular cup of tea is Russ Andrews Powerkords which in every case have improved the performance of my kit over a stock kettle lead

    I can see this will run on and on and on

    The 25R croft is £1.400 new , you got this one for £800 , That's a £600 saving on new
    The original advert did not show or mention a mains lead ? or have i missed it
    One member even commented how fair the price was .
    You were lucky to find a seller who would ship outside the UK for risk of things going missing and not arriving.

    Please just use a power lead you probably allready have or go and buy one out of the £600 you saved when you purchased the 25R

    This is my last comment as it is now pi--ing me off all over a 5 euro lead

    I have just caught up on this thread and second your opinion above, quite unbelievable to winge about a stupid kettle lead. The chap should just go out and buy one, utterly ridiculous! Sound like a dealer to me.
    Listening is the act of aural discrimination and dissemination of sound, and accepting you get it wrong sometimes.

    I am thinking this thread may be best closed. It doesn't look as though it will go anywhere useful now and the parties directly involved can discuss further by PM's if need be.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
