Hi! From what i know you’re living in England. Do you perhaps know a good hifi store in England that has good pricing and can ship to Sweden? Amazon is not always the best. /A > On 3 Nov 2016, at 00:45, John Gurd wrote: > > Hi Anders, > No sorry, I've not come across that

audiotechnica do a few nice decks, which have both USB, and standard phono outputs with a line level option built in, so no need for an extra preamp. I personally like the AT-LP1240 Simon - Original Message - From: "Anders Holmberg" To: "PC Audio Discussion

Hi Anders, Sorry to disappoint again. I live in Bonnie Scotland, much better than England except for the weather, and unfortunately the hi-fi shops (smiles). It's interesting you're asking, coincidently I met someone who told me a friend of his is coming over to the UK from Sweden to go on a

Plenty of benefits of living in Scotland I would have thought, you get to wear a Kilt, you can play the Pipes and - even better - get to recite Robby Berns . What do we have in Australia? Kangaroo hunting amongst other things, no wonder the Hi-Fi shops are disappearing at a great rate of

That's true, and we have to hunt down a haggis every 25th January and strangle it with our sporrans as a rite of passage before we can celebrate a Burns Supper. All you have to do in Australia is mud wrestle a crocodile which is probably an inflatable one anyway. I was thinking, you must have
