Thanks Kedar. Good to see you again yesterday.
One important thing you didn't mention. My system is completely devoid of foo, with all standard mains cabling, cheap interconnects and speaker cabling.
Borough Market Keith? Early Saturday morning is best - crusty bacon sandwich with a cup of steaming tea, then off to buy some epicurean treats to savour for the remainder of the weekend.:p
As you most probably know, Jeff used to manufacture a range of compact (fairly) lightweight, cool running class D amps - 201, 501 etc. These did not sell too well so he reverted back to far bigger chassis, then dropped the class D alltogether.

Not sure, I haven't been to KJ for years. I did buy an amp from them once - way back. But I'd be surprised if they didn't have good demo facilities.
KJ weren't an agent for Kronos three years ago.
A London HiFi dealer, who'd supplied me with quite a few items over the years, became the Uk importer for Kronos and naturally, he called me to let me know. Once I'd heard it, bye bye Delphi V, hello Kronos Pro :D

It was supplied with a Phantom Supreme 12". Initially with a Lyra Tina i, but upgraded fairly soon afterwards to an Io Gold.
As well as sounding absolutely sublime, this TT is ultra reliable.
