Just noticed this, the BMU is just like a wall socket, just it is balanced mains. Plug any hi-fi into it - no electric fire, fridges or anything else though :grin:

Borrowers, can we note that packing will start to get worn and lose strength. It is up to you on pass on to ensure the packing is safe, so ensure packing is repaired or replaced if it is getting to the point the unit may be damaged.

No probs, I'll put you on the list and post an updated one to let everyone including the Doc know where things are.

Currently, the Phono 2 is with Mikeyb who I said could hang onto it a touch longer until his Claymore amp is returned. if someone needs it before the end of this next week, he's agreed to send it off, but as it was on its way back to the Doc, I thought it could linger there a little longer.

TSCS is now distinctly better than the old LS7. First stage was adding a Faraday Cage around the cable. Second stage was including a much thicker centre core sterling silver wire that the individually insulated silver alloy fine wires are laid around. Musical change - bass to beat yer brains in on top of all the old assets that are enhanced to.

Don't tell me that! Now I'm doubting whether I have LS7 or TSCS. :grin:
