NO BACKGROUND NOISE AT ALL.

Hi Tom

Got the kits today
Many thanks for saving my Bacon..
most people would think I was an idiot spending this money on a pair of £99.99 speakers
thats what they cost me new..
but they have served me well for over 20 years and counting.
the only constant in an ever changing sonic landscape..
best wishes and thanks again

Dear Tom,

The Thorens arrived on Friday in excellent condition. I spent Saturday morning putting it altogether.

The line-up took quite a bit of time, but in the end all was OK. On test, I was surprised by the complete

difference in sound between the Bronze and the Cadenza Black. It took some time to get used to the change.

The Shibata stylus certainly reads the groove so well, so cleanly, so dynamically. You said the combination

would be dynamite - it is. I'm very happy with your recommendations, so I can just sit back for the next

couple of decades and enjoy! Thank you.

Thanks too for your suggestion re the Tannoy Forum site on Yahoo. I was going to do something

for Hilberink.nl/ but there's been not much happening there for quite sometime it seems.

regards,

Jeff

Dear Foamed Out:

Well we all carry our old wounds with grace – or we don’t! I wouldn't know who you're referring to but someone must have wounded him terribly in the past. Still, why is that your fault?

Anyway – happy to help. Send your work to us if you wish – you’re always welcome.

Tom,

Thanks for your reply. You are a champ !

I bought a few Dynaudio surrounds from you before and I know for fact when you said “ genuine” you do mean the real thing, unlike your mate in ______ who told me it will be “genuine” but turn out to be German made, which as you know, is harder, less compliant and rougher than the original. Besides, the colour is different, especially when the repaired unit is mounted on top of the original unit.

When I questioned him he insisted it is the genuine surround, and I also mentioned to him he should buy the genuine article from you he said you use the same thing then he told me to F....off.

This despite our friendship goes back to the 90s and I did got him lots of business.

Oh well, you just can’t win them all.

And he also told me to pick up an __________ he is repairing for my client. Charming character.

Will pack it up and send it to you on Monday.

Cheers,

Foamed Out.

Hi Tom and staff,

Just wanted to pass on my thanks for your excellent work in repairing my old CEC 70's belt driven turntable recently. I'm still impressed with how good it sounds with the 2M Red, and even more impressed, at the fact it outperforms my near new Project 1.2 turntable.

John - February 2012

I hope you're having a good and busy week!

Just wanted to write and say thanks very much for all your help with the Markbass quadbox, I used it at a gig the other night, and could really notice the improvement. I'll try it with my other bass next time, though at this stage its given me that little bit extra brightness I was looking for.

Thanks again mate, and will be in touch.

Cheers!

John

Drea Dick

Thanks heaps for the advise and the parts to repair my Cerwin Vega woofers with the disintegrated foam. I have had these speakers for over 20 years and have always enjoyed the sound and now, with the new foam, I can continue to enjoy them.

The instructions were clear and they look and sound like new. Even managed to get the dust caps off in one piece so very happy with the end result.

All the best,

George

Graeme - November 2011

Hi

It has taken months for me to do this but I wanted to say thanks to Dick for greatly improving the sound of my celestion speakers. they're now much nicer to listen to than my old Boston Acoustics. Dick breathed some life into a pretty dead sounding pair of speakers.

Cheers

Graeme

John - April 2011

Thanks, Grant from krix speakers put me onto you and i have purchased a repair kit before. Going on last time your service is excellent and helps to create a repeat customer, the good results and service last time has left you name in my head and i have told friends how easy it is to repair old speakers, hopefully they will also become customers.

Enclose some cards and i will display them with my vinyl and retro sound gear.

Excellent website, concise and easy to follow.

This lot is going into an old pair of altec lensing 9 (series 2) speakers. Hoping for somthing that is retro and very nice, have never heard them so I will look foward to the after repair "sweet music".

Thanks again John .

Curtis - February 2011

Dear Tom

I installed the foams last night and the speakers sound awesome! Till next time, take good care.

Sincerely,

Curtis
