Thanks for that Doug. Will be keeping my eye out but confidence in online component shopping has taken a hit. This guy came thoroughly recommended according to the feedback. Seems as if Mickey Mouse is currently running his business. To add insult to injury I've heard from Technics (Turntables) - Pro this morning requesting that their goodwill gesture be returned. I prompty told them where to go! I've lost a day at work, I also have a brand new Iconic Audio handmade Technics dustcover and new Ortofon (colour co-ordinated, keeping my daughter happy) headshell sitting here with no accomapnying turntable. Still very disappointed, two months of waiting came to nothing. Enjoy your new turntable, I'll be keeping my eye out for something similar. ;-)
