    The one I have found through Google does not work. Just interested in having a further read while I wait for long term feedback.
    Just this http://stores.ebay.com.au/stereo-coffee but you've probably already seen it and it also now has no items, but it had a nice descriptive write up when last visited and may be updated when he has some stock, you can sign up for his newsletter which may be helpful

    Hi Marco,

    Glad you are liking the latest Stereo Cofee LDR, my Dual mono one should be back from Chris any day now. Have you been able to use a decent PSU for it? As I noticed when I went from a Wallwart to a proper dual mono regulated PSU there was a nice upgrade to be had.

    Power amp- Rather large Colin Wonfor Class A power Amp
    Speakers: Lampizator P17 Open Baffles
    Accessories: Klotz 500 DIY Interconnects & DIY speaker cable sounding better than anything commercial.
    All powered from a Mother Trucker BPS with a dedicated consumer unit with 10mm armoured radial back to the house tails after the meter.

    Here is a snapshot of the dual mono supply that I made for my dual mono LDR



    And here is a pic of my daughter 'helping ' me build my LDR just to wind up those who got on the anti LDR scaremongering wagon a few months ago.

    That will explain why the wiring looks like that, then.
    I hope she didn't eat any of the LDRs.
