    I don't suppose the seller gives a hoot!
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Yes I'd agree usually, silver dust caps tend to be 'bling', but my bet is the Kenwoods will be good regardless.

    yes, Amstrad speakers always had silver dust caps. it is usually a bad sign. But here is testomonial stating otherwise from a yank who had to slum it with the Kenwood while his JBL were re-coned:

    I struggled to read that due to the appalling grammar.

    Indeed, I failed to separate spelling from grammar, so upset was my brain!

    In my mind, Kabuki is about crazy dress and face painting in Japanese theatre.. perhaps that's somehow what is being got at in reference to speakers, designed for a visual show?

    Can't imagine you've ever read Trainspotting or any other Irvine Welsh book.. would explode your brain.

    Meh, read like a combo of both being written in the vernacular and slight short-hand but with the odd typo thrown in. Good to read more characterful prose rather than technically correct assimilations.

    Ahh poor old Isaacs.. every photo in his listings is the wrong way around somehow.

    Still, he seems excited that he's in a new wheelchair now with a new cushion, judging by the exclaimations in the auction for his old cushion.

    Have you ever tried reading Feersum Endjinn by Iain Banks?
