Yup, seven years now. Still don't speak the language properlyOriginally Posted by Benji
. I spent all my time until I retired, working for the Brits!@! Poor excuse. generally, prices are rising as everywhere. My two areas of expenditure are music and tools. Both of which are bought on-line. When we came here it was cheap. No more. sadly, the Euro is going the wrong way at the moment as well so the pension is going down rather than up. Rats

Yes I can remember France being good value but family have said it is getting pricier. There was a time when I would buy music and chainsaws in France!
Parents have said food is going up too.
I haven't been back to France for about thirteen years.

Geoff,
Nice to see how easy it is! It is amazing, i wish it was this easy to put together a decent system for so little when i was a kid!
New System (so far): Meridian 506 CD/ALAC -> Unison Research Little Italy -> Spendor S5e
Secondary system: Airport Express -> BeoLab 3 Speakers (still need replacing - too fatiguing)
TV Room: Marantz NR 1504-> Usher S520/525 speakers
Original System: NAD C541 CD Player -> NAD C340 Amp -> lamp cord -> B&W CM2 Speakers, Ipod/Itunes ALAC- secondary source

Yes, If you keep your wits about you, a lot can be achieved very quickly these days.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Could be a bargain here. Goldring Eroica LX in nice condition. Bid up to £71 at the moment. Decent MC cartridge.

Not on ebay, but who would like to pay £75 for a knackered old valve amp box??

I could begin to understand if it had some very special protective packing, but this doesn't look very special at all ...

It's that sort of thing that would ensure I never buy from the seller. They always seem to set new records for high prices on EBay too. I will leave the "bargains" to others
