Thanks Gromit.

Why didn't you buy that Super XX that was selling on AOS??

Good question - a combination of my Sony amp behaving itself again and sheer procrastination. :D

Meant to ask, does your XV have a phonoboard fitted? It'll say on the back of the amp next to the input sockets (with 'MM' or 'MC' written in pen).

Yes, it just says ''Coil'' on the back. I'm just using CDs at the moment.

Nice one - thanks.

Just missed out on what looked like quite a nice Exposure VI/Dual VII/VIII on eBay.

What a shame..I'm sure more will come up soon.

Daft thing is that I sat there watching it - had another tab open on the browser but when I flicked back to have a look it was too late. Something's not quite clicking right with my system at the moment, and I'm having a b*gger of a time putting my finger on the reason.

How much did it go for? (I have an interest since I have an XI, XII, Super VIII which will become redundant soon). And which system? I presume the PC? If a PC, usually a sign that you need to back up your data and rebuild (quicker than trying to figure out what is wrong.)

Your not alone! Once I almost won a lovely amp on eBay...The bloody PC FROZE and lost the bid! Some other bidder won that amp, I felt like smashing the screen

Why don't you still buy and try that 2010 S2 on AOS, you can just put the Sony away for a little bit... Anyway, it's up to you Gromit.

The S2 is tempting, Shane - shame it's in silver (shallow I know!) and it doesn't have a phonostage either although the latter is easy remedy as the Exposure board is only around 90 quid.
