And Forkbeard. 😆 Andrew

Oh you mean Portmeirion. Could be worse… 😆 Andrew

Ouch! Double ouch! Similar to Neat Acoustics having their consignment held up by customs at Munich for the entirety the show last year :( Andrew

I came to the conclusion that Yorkshire (my home county) is the UK’s Texas equivalent - and vice-versa. Both fiercely independent, with a strong rural culture. Andrew

Nice! Things are coming together quickly. Andrew

Comes with a Forkbeard slot for Schiits and Giggles? Andrew

I’ve just received the ZMF Grand Palladium cable and literally just listening to it for the first time. You may like that one. Initial impression over the stock cable is that the the tone is fuller and hash-free, with great delineation and bass space. If you can get to a CanJam it might be...

It’s a British thing. A bit like our gallons and billions 😛 Andrew
