Oooohhhh it's a joke .. I get it now

I'm waiting for the MM model (I heard that it will only be 24,000 Pounds).

Pounds like kilos? That will be amazing high quality … because os heavy

I'm waiting for the MM model (I heard that it will only be 24,000 Pounds).

I don't know what kind of cheap floozy you boys think I am, but 24,000 is obviously priced into the ground. 24,999, please.

I don't know what kind of cheap floozy you boys think I am, but 24,000 is obviously priced into the ground. 24,999, please.

But that will be the price with an included high quality snake like power cable that usually cost 9999€, so it’s ok.

New parts arrived, so a limited run is now available at the old price (GBP720)...

Americans won't get the reference, but here it is!

People say that about me at work too, but that’s only because I’m direct and get stuff done….amazing how many people that makes feel uncomfortable.

I’ve learnt to ignore it.

Gyrodec -> Rega Apheta 2 LOMC -> MC PRO -> Goldpoint attenuators -> i. MF X-A50 and ii. Albarry 1008 MkII power amps [Rothwell River interconnects throughout]

Recently purchased after doing my own spreadsheet, didn't have a few things I had an urge to play with but nothing that I actually needed to play with.

Excellent results, better I would say than my 20 year old MF X-LP2 triple chassis [crisper, less sibilant, even cut some hum], 63/73dB gain plenty for the .35 output of the Rega, the 120 fixed impedance works well and - cliché alert - silent blackness when you listen for it. The LXFilter is a strange one - it does subtly alter the sound but I found a sweet spot [for me] at about 1/4 way round the dial. I don't have a golden ear trumpet but everything from Cream to Sade was just converted into the music as it should, particularly with the Albarry's. Spot on & thanks Michael for a well engineered and executed stage, just great.
