Any SSAV or Richer Sounds shops in your area?

Is there a P.T. branch in the South East?

Doesn't appear to be one !

Yes, I plan to use Richer Sounds in Maidstone.
I hove dealt with them before and found them to be quite good.
Not too far from Sevenoaks either..

I did have them on the short list too, but no Bi wire, not that it makes that much difference..
I will add them on again.

Bi-wire is a waste of time.

Only Cumbria and the North East.

I suspected as much..

Hi Guys,

Just to let you know that I swapped out the K5 cartridge for an AT -VN95ML stylus, I have also not got a pair of Dali Oberon 5 speakers.
They look and sound great, and no too big either.
All I can say is wow, only heard Vinyl at the moment (CD still being repaired).

Also treated my self to a Majority Fitzwilliam 2024 Internet radio thingy,
Just been playing with it this afternoon, brilliant bit of kit, although for some reason I am unable to get BBC radio through the internet. Can get on DAB, but not internet, very odd.

Possibly Amp upgrade next, may be Arcam 15 !!

Thanks Jason, I will check this out.
Would love Radio 3 through internet, however through DAB+ sounds really good anyway.
Just to add that I am very pleased with the Fitzwilliam, so nice to have decent radio again DAB+ and internet.

This unit will also play music from a USB stick and Bluetooth from phone etc, However the quality is not great, you get a quite subtle, but noticeable booming distortion,
I though for a minute that it was my new speakers or amp !! , but I did back to back plays of the Ocean (Zep) on USB, B'tooth and my TT (with the new cartridge) . Definitely the Fitzwilliam unit.
Cant complain at the price though.
Not that I plan to use USB/Blue tooth, I only really tried it as my CD player is still being repaired.
