I was more pulling your leg about Emporium.
I’ve had reliability issues with one or two of the bits of Allnic kit I’ve owned but Richard Morris at Lotus always has been great about sorting stuff out. It all soundes great to my ears even if it has all got stupidly expensive though.
Yep I gathered that and was trolling you back as I know you have Allnic stuff 
I’m not slagging off Emporium as he offered me the Tone Scouts for £3k (+ some p/x kit)
Did you chop in the JBLs then? They look absolutely epic.
Yep but unfortunately between me asking what deal he could do and him responding I’ve sold some of it and bought a Radford STA15 and Aesthetic Pandora DAC so I’m skint 
TBH I’m really loving the L300s and don’t know if I can be arsed putting it all in a van driving to Norfolk and bringing them back etc.
Found Richard to be a pretty decent egg for dealer scum…He was happy to travel back and forth with various bits of kit when I was mulling over class A gear and a change of CDP…I couldn’t get on with his then fav Vitus tho
Do it
I use one of those. I preferred it to a very hi-foo AN Dac. Fucking lovely bit of kit with a Lumin providing the 0’s and 1’s via coax. I’ll be amazed if you don’t enjoy that. It is fucking huge though. Cleverly designed bit of kit. The lid is held on by velcro which makes tube rolling a doddle. Mine runs some Electro-harmonix 12AX7s which were a big step up from whatever the originals were.
I’ve done a lot of business with Richard. I used to buy kit from him in the UK when I lived in Oz. You could basically double your money when you sold it on. Importing kit to Melbourne effectively paid for my system eventually.
Having tried a T1500 300b integrated I can officially say that all Allnic stuff is shit and anyone using it is a deaf cunt.
I’ve moved to the PC as my phone keyboard is giving me a pain in the bollocks. I need a new phone… 
Have you told him 
No. I used to eBay everything starting at A$1 and it would fly out the door at stupid prices. I felt very guilty about it for a while but managed to recover.
Do it
I’ve been mulling over potentially selling my AGs and buying the Tone Scouts for the new house 
Please, stops me thinking about it then.
Club together and time share the fuckers
Yes, yes you can.
Nice DAC choice Chris 
That’s 3 of us using Aesthetix on here now. Did you get yours from a UK seller? You don’t see many over here.
Yep, he’s a nice fella, providing you can put up with him constantly trying to flog you foo…
