Cant wait to get my new Interconnects & Digital Lead fitted..

Ive ordered a second one, Id hate to think what i would do if something happened to the one i have..

Vinyl is deffo history now. Ive been looking for an excuse for over 20 years to put pay to it.
So you'll soon be putting vinyl offers for ridiculous money here? I'm looking forward!

The Chinese prices are so cheap via ebay it is not worth the hassle, unless you enjoy DIY as a hobby.

65 !!! why are you complaining, you are still a child, the next 6 years are the best. Retired !! I really don't believe in it, I enjoy working, I enjoy the competition, I enjoy the process of trying to make better music. I think retirement is a con to try and tell you that you have got old, I think mentally I was always an old git so nothing has changed, apart from not being allowed to lift heavy things, and I don't miss that.

FFS I don't even take my state pension as I think it would be me being a fraud.
