The new KT88 is the 300B!

**Marco** · 22-01-2009, 22:17

Ooo-er nice one

Let's hope those f*ckers from Empire Stores cough up - if not the boys might just have to pay them a little visit

I've kinda got pissed off a bit after today's shenanigans!

For those who don't know, Empire Stores has gone tits up and taken the money I recently payed for a brand new Technics SL1210 with it. Twats!

I might get it back, but it won't be in the next ten minutes or anything.

**Marco** · 22-01-2009, 22:23

I think you're taking it remarkably well, actually

Marco.

**Mike** · 22-01-2009, 22:25

Well, what else can I do?

T'ain't exactly a fortune... Worse things happen at sea, as they say!

Or summat.

Oh yeah.

And I'm gonna get one of them too!

Sorry to hear that Mike.
I guess it's a dodgy time to buy anything of value, unless you can actually walk out the door with it.

4) Is it safe?

Anything else is of secondary importance, including if necessary having to revisit and reassess something that I had previously considered as unsuitable. I'm not proud, blinkered, nor easily embarrassed, and therefore I don't have a problem admitting I'm wrong or having made mistakes.

Basically, I remain always open-minded with hi-fi and follow no forms of absolutism. This I feel is a healthy state of mind to have, rather than being the opposite.

Well after speaking to Mr Toy, my open mindedness made me give some cables from Mark Grant a whirl, they've had me scratching my head, how come these buggers work better than the somewhat more expensive offerings, tis witchcraft I tell ye.

**Marco** · 23-01-2009, 09:46

They're fantastic, aren't they?

Quite simply, I haven't heard any better cables anywhere, ever, - at any price! 'Giant-killing' gear offering the highest SPPV value is undoubtedly what it's at with hi-fi...
