    Thanks are due to André, for the prompt and business-like dispatch of the CDs he was selling.

    I was so impressed by the careful way these were packed that I'm going to describe the packaging:

    The CDs were wrapped in 'cling film' and the pack surrounded by a close-fitting stout cardboard wrapper. This in turn was wrapped in plastic cushioning sheet and the whole sent in a dedicated plastic mailer.

    With such attention to packaging detail, the discs arrived in absolutely perfect condition.

    Thanks André

    Regards
    Barry

    A BIG thanks to DSJR Dave for not only lending me the Nagaoka MP-15 but sending it 1st class late on Friday to make sure I had it on Saturday. Suffice to say an agreement has been made and I am now the proud owner of said cartridge. (I've never had to barter someone UP when buying something - which shows you what a great guy Dave is.) I still think I've robbed him, given how good the cartridge sounds in my system, so I owe you one (or two) Dave - thanks very much.

    Nice one, dude... I did say how good Nagaokas were! Should you decide to upgrade to one of the higher-end current models, rest assured you've got even more joys to discover

    Thanks guys. Dave did suggest maybe the newer line of styli might fit (i.e. MP200 is MP20 replacement, with boron cantilever) - so will give that some thought.

    Thanks Lee - I'll update one of the other threads rather than keep polluting this one but it is all sounding very good, I think I may get lost in the "dark side" again for a while!

    Indeed. I had to resort to a rather large knife to get at mine.

    Thanks Andre
