    Good news, the strange finish on my compass is gone. After some fingerrubbing I found out that it is some kind of clear wax/grease stuf. With some warm water and soap it comes of very easily But why would they put it on the Compass? I know the do it with cars, but why on audio equipment?

Next thing I noticed was that my package was pretty much undamaged, it was a little bit dirty, but undamaged. Here...

    I know something even more funny . When they come to my house for delivery, I shall pay them "gepast", but I shall pay them using the jar full of 1, 2 and 5 cents. that'll teach em for not carrying any change

    Hi guys, This is my first post so I'm not completly familiair with this. To make things even worse, English is not my native tongue so I'm bound to make some mistakes... But, I do have some suggestions to make for improving the Compass. Someone mentioned a locking optical input. I think...
