Last bulbs for my Philips gear the 3rd batch not delivered despite Dutch post said it did trough the mail slot of our house just today at 13:40 hours.
Funny I have been home the whole day. My room is at the front door side of the house. The window was open. Nobody else left the house, there was no mail truck Dutch PostNl, no mailman / woman. And nobody else walked from upstairs to downstairs in our house or left the house passing our front door. So nobody fro our house could have nicked it in my house that is for sure.

So it must be making things up I suppose. Whatever!?!

From now on, I never ever use PostNl for packages again, and especially not for mail slot delivery.

€27 euros through the drain.

WOW!

Well without notice in advance the bulbs got delivered just now after all by the Dutch Postal service. How about that?
I have of course immediately afterwards informed the seller - the Dutch MFBfreaks webshop - about this late, but successful delivery after all.

Picked up these RSL 3600 Monitors.
Really well made and wired with good size gauge Monster Cable instead of cheap super thin wire.
My shop test setup with the Denon 5800, together they are very nice!

I like the controls and fuse on the front for easy access. I hope the caps in those potted crossovers are film caps! I guess they didn't want anyone to copy there crossovers. :rolleyes:

Second delivery mystery! I'm still waiting for the Kruidvat cassettes I ordered last weekend locally from within the Netherlands with DHL. And got shipped next day with tracking and physically handed over to a DHL. store.

Now this time it is DHL who has no clue a package for me is still at a DHL sorting hub or underway-ish etc. :dunno:
They started an investigation. And it can take 3 to 5 days before they can answer me!?

Not again! One week of everything I purchased on Dutch " MARKTPLAATS DOT NL " had some sort of weird delivery Anomaly / Delay / Mystery / Surprise.

- Like 5 pack Philips CD ONE 90 cassettes with ripped 5 pack wrap

-3 Pack sealed Maxell SQ cassettes, sold by a seller two weeks on vacation without mentioning the vacation in the listing

- Till further notice 2x 2 packs missing with 2 sealed Kruidvat C60 and 2 sealed Kruidvat C90 Chroom cassettes

Anomalies in casu regarding these 4 sealed Kruidvat chroom cassettes;
See DHL status on DHL website, my copy paged in blue "Universal Parcel tracker status" screenshot I send to seller in Dutch marktplaats messag es) and DHL investigation confirmation in chat screenshot. and screenshot with the single tracking number from the sender with photo he send me in MP messages. But on the DHL tracking page there are two tracking numbers ???...

A month ago I bought this DAC to replace a Topping D50 that was bugging me with poor treble SQ. It’s night and day better sounding. Really quite good, and not just ‘for the price’. I got the external power supply for it. Highly recommended. View attachment 3803373

I have an older Modius Schiit Dac. Sounds pretty good for the price range. Hope you enjoy your new DAC.
 
A Bell & Howell, unassembled model AAD-210 (Heathkit) quadraphonic amplifier and my third Heathkit AA-2010 (assembled) quadraphonic amplifier. The two are basically the same with minor differences.

.AA-2010, AAD-210.jpg

Heathkit on top, B&H (my assembled one) on bottom. Even though they look quite different, the front panel pieces are identical, Just different colors. I don't know why my phone camera is so lousy at focusing at times.

Also, two new wire strippers, one for wire down to AWG 24 gauge and the other down to AWG 34 gauge.
