Tír Na HiFi

That was quick!
Just to be clear it is not a book reviewing Hifi equipment - more of a memoir .

I stumbled upon this book just before Christmas in an independent bookshop while in Chicago.

Operated by a remote control. It has stopped working, stuck in the open position. Fault may have coincided with...

Thanks Maciej. Very helpful links and a good site. I will experiment a little with various combinations - standard solid copper (thanks Cyndale), cut down speaker cables and other materials.

Thanks

Thanks Maciej for the tip on jpc.de
I ordered some items yesterday and seems very efficient with good prices. Shipping was ~€7 for four LPs.

Not a big selection at all, but you could probably find one or two items. I just happened to be in the area on Saturday so got a coffee and dropped by. The small shop does a a range of items and has a few boxes of LPs inside and outside the shop. The one I got was an unused old lp, perfect condition

Picked this up in a Blackrock Market stall. Had forgotten about these guys. Saw them in the Magnet Bar way back. The sweatiest, most energetic gig I have been at. https://db3pap002files.storage.live.com/y4mja0UYONe0--3vCQdubUsGOM-OsKhAvxdNFpbqDv2yLpeBosEQCrv473ZJDhnKlb6BPd6a5pgs7wfE-6lXcAq_G_zyhN4ep...
