Hi 20SilkCut The clou can be shipped from here http://www.headphone.com/layout.php?...&subTopicID=31 apparetly; got this from the Hi-Fi Choice forum http://www.futureforums.co.uk/hifichoice/ were I asked the same questions. Might be worth looking at that thread too. Hey this...

Thanks; I did find the site eventually. Had some trouble because AOL search which I first used decided 'clou cable' was a reference to pornographic material and blocked it. I thought I knew about most sexual activites but this is a new one to me! Any way hope to get the 600's tomorrow. Sadly...

Thanks to all you guys for the detailed advice. I think i have already found a UK source for the jj electronic tubes. the upgrade instructions dont look too daunting so will go for that. The Clou cables do not seem to be distributed here. They are Swedish, right. Still no doubt can track...

Many Thanks Bootman & Braver The 600 looks good; they are currently discounted in UK so that will leave me plenty $ for your connection and tube upgrade suggestions. Richard
