Another one of these dreary "what is the forum coming to posts"

I'm reminded of the song the lunatics are taking over the asylum.

I have 3 members blocked and can't seem to find a post where they are not prattling on and on and on.

If I were Naim I'd be very worried but I suppose the reappearance of Adam M may be a sign of the empire striking back.

Sorry, I have no idea where it is!
On another note, you appear have a dedicated feed like the one the electricity company seem to think I have, they once tried to charge me £27,500 for nine days electricity.
I assured them that I wasn't trying to run an aluminium smelter, and that level of power use would have increased the temperature inside my house to over 1,000° Celcius!

It was an easy mistake for them to make, they thought you had Krells.

ah yes - ****wit energy 'suppliers'. Been there, had the gas bills and spent precious time sorting out fact from fiction for a non existent gas connection

What size cables do they run to houses in your area? For that consumption you would need to have been drawing a something of the order of 3000 amps continuously, which would require cables - including meter tails - in excess of 1000mm2, assuming you single phase and don't have your own substation.

I think it all went down hill when I joined. Sorry about that. Which leads me to highlight my favourite love to hate posts......the goodbyes. I won't be posting here again as I've.....

a. ...found a hifi that naim can't compete with, and you're all deaf.

b. ...decided you're all *%$@s.

At least (mostly) we don’t get cable arguments...
I would argue that a cable is a cable...

..unless it's a Vince.

I bet your system sounds fab with those cables
