blag kettle adaptor

Does the whistle work?

 

[luckysim0n]

No that's what makes me think its blag


Good one by the way

 

[tvdavid]

so you bought it for £600
Wonder how it would compare to a much cheaper amp like a NAD C370?
This is the highest quality thing I have ever heard.
Wonder what the differance would be?

 

[luckysim0n]

I'm not good at describing stuff like that I can notice a difference but I think my speakers are letting down the system now

I had an A28 last year that I bought ex demo over the counter from a local dealer. I passed it on when I got my new Creek 5350 amp but agree that the A28 is an excellent amp. When I saw the sellers description I thought it was my old one (photocopied manual and a slight indentation) but it was the wrong colour! I wouldn't worry about the power lead, mine worked perfectly fine with the bog standard lead provided (as has every other amp I have ever owned incidentally). Enjoy.
