Thats a bugger, at least its not irreplaceable though. Weren't they supposed to be mint ?

Ah thanks for that, I thought they had been stretched but its a design "feature" by the sound of it. X-Can's aren't bad, certainly a step up from the average 6.3mm socket on a piece of equipment ! I've not heard an AP10 so am blissfully ignorant :grin: On a slightly different topic: I've j...

Jammy, what Copland CD player did you have? A 288 Dave the one with knobs on... :mrgreen: I had one of them ! Best CDP I've ever owned. Always wanted to try the matching amps but never happened. I've not heard a proper "high end" standalone DAC but the budget one's I've had were all much ...
