Who's up for a "Cheap as Chips" Challenge?

[Jac Hawk]

I'm off in search of some more watts. I don't think the Delta 70 is getting the best out of my DM2a's.
It's nice to see another vinyl setup. If anyone wants to give me free stuff they are more than welcome.

The thing is Mark I wasn't even on the scrounge, i was looking to buy a TT not for the challenge, just for me, so i posted a thread asking for some advice on a sub £100 deck and Dave kindly offered to give me his SL1800, how could i say no

However, i would understand completely if freebies are excluded from the challenge, but i suppose that's up to Alex to decide.

I have no problems with freebies. Freebies are good. I'm hoping that my speakers get past the rules. I swapped them for a tuner I bought the previous week for a tenner. Is that bending the rules too far?

Freebies are fine!

Now, Mark Reid Malenfant has been very generous in a PM I just found that he sent late one night (after a few too many snakebites) offering to give me his Krell CD player!!! Looks like I have my front end!

(In other words, genuine freebies are fine, but the fun spirit of the challenge is to be maintained at all times - so no contrived collaborations, please! )

[Alex_UK]

Swaps are fine too. I'll be posting Mark my Bush micro system that he wants to swap for his Mackie amp later today!

Seems a bit unfair, you "happening" upon a Krell CDP like that.
Methinks the Police need policing. It comes across as a very contrived collaboration.

By the rules as you've set the out it's open for Marco to give me his complete rig for the day.

Um, that was supposed to be my attempt at humour, Chris! Sorry if it came across as being serious, I was just joking!

Sorry Alex - I had a sense of humour failure then
The perils of the typed word, eh ?

I was just imaging Mark choking on his coffee when he reads it - then frantically scrabbling through his sent PM's!!!
