Survived the trip across the pond

[chrisjlaw]

Hi,

I recently moved from New York city to Belfast in Northern Ireland. It took three months for my gear to arrive but it is finally here and set up for testing Thankfully all appears to be OK and all my kit seems to have survived the transatlantic crossing without any damage. Of course, I had to invest in a heavy duty step-down voltage transformer (here in the UK we use 240V) to power everything but it doesn't seem to have any detrimental effect on sound quality. I have attached a couple of pics to share with you all.

Very nice! Is it a permanent relocation? Should be an exciting adventure!

Hi Jon,

Yes, it is a permanent relocation. The good thing about being back in the UK is that there is a lot of good old British audio equipment for sale on the UK version of that auction site that goes for much much less cash than in the US - the market just isn't as big over here. Some really nice vintage ss amps from Leak, Sugden etc. Just last week I bought a pair of absolutely mint B&W DM601 (S3) speakers for about half of what I would have expected to pay in the States! I can see the wife getting pissed off as boxes of gear start to arrive via the postal sevice!!:yes:
