With all the talk on various threads regarding people's frustrations of missing burndy cables in new 300DRs, I'm afraid I would now be facing the sack!!

I borrowed an XPS (non DR) when I installed my 272/250DR and ran it for a few weeks. When I decommissioned it I didn't feel the step down in SQ justified the price of the power supply. However, after a month of listening to the system without the XPS I have started to feel that I am missing it more than I initially thought. My dealer kindly agreed to let me have another extended test at home.

Yesterday I popped to my dealer (2 hour plus round trip) and watched one of the lads pack up the unit for me, clearly watching what he put in the box - evening thinking to myself - I don't need the power lead as I can use the one off my 272. Sadly it didn't occur to either of is that the box wouldn't be much use without the burndy!!

Of course, this didn't dawn on me until I opened up the box and attempted to install it back at home.

I'll get my hat and coat and pick up my P45 from accounts on my way out.....

You shouldn't feel as stupid as your dealer. He's the one who should have known better. Enjoy your XPS.

Shame on you both, particularly your dealer since the XPS  comes with the Burndy as standard.

Yes blame yourself for not buying the XPS DR. If you have done that, this (along with that round trip) wouldn't have happened! :-)
