May suggest Autoaid? Cheap, they utilize local operatives, and they cover the driver (+spouse) rather than the vehicle. HTH.

This is the thing: there has be ways to make a vehicle clean enough, there may even be ways to prove it. There appears to be no mechanism for TFL, DVLA etc to register the change. I believe TFL well accept only certificates of conformity to Euro 6 (or whatever) from the manufacturer.

Very sad indeed, properly bad news after so much hard work.

Hi Peter There is a set, it's 3M long if that suits? It is in use at the moment, probably for at least another week or ten days. I can have it sent on to you as the next listener if you like.

Pffft. Domestic transparency enhancement engineer, if you please!

So, so sad about this. A treasure of a musician and seems to be a thoroughly decent human being, with genuine love for family and music. I haven't been this sad since Bowie.

Simon has made more than several 'nik niks and naks' over the years and actually has a great deal of expertise. I used a power supply he built for me for years, he has also done terrific things to Krells, Yamaha NS-1000 speakers, and what are reportedly extraordinary phono-stages. I do not agree...

That'll do it! There's a bottling called Scarabus, which is exactly the same thing IIRC. Both put me in mind of Smokehead, and I wouldn't be surprised if they all come getting the same place.

Hi Darren I still use my CCA (into a more basic Soncoz) in my workshop, it is excellent and always will be. In my main system I use an SOtM SMS-200 USB player into a DAC (SMSL M-400, which actually has pretty decent Bluetooth built in by the way). It's quite the step up from CCA, even the basic...

The original Blue was 21 X 0.3. It was originally just a test cable, a dummy to test the cable extrusion tool for the Black cable. The copper inside was standard hook up wire to keep it cheap, the designer had no intention of seeing it sold as a product. No idea if the Ultra Blue was changed...
