As some of the keener eyed forum members may have noticed, Mick and Mrs Mick were due to make the trip over from Swindon to sunny Bracknell today to have a listen to my system. This morning, Mr and Mrs Mick duly arrived at my house at the appointed hour. After a drink of coffee and a chat, we settled down to listen to some music. As the Sarah Brightman CD was being eyed up ready for playing...... Thump! Everything went off. A quick check with the neighbours confirmed the worst - a power cut. We had not so much as heard a single note from the system. After a few minutes we decided to call it a day as there seemed to be no hope of a quick reconnection (The power eventually came back on at 8:30 this evening - 9 hours later) So, apologies to Mick and Sue for the wasted journey. Its all terribly frustrating, but thats life. Is it fate perhaps? Still, all was not lost as Mick invited me over to his place instead to hear his system with the CDS3 in pride of place, an offer that I was keen to accept. Suffice to say it is a big improvement over the CDS2 and we spent a very enjoyable few hours listening to a wide selection of music. I have to say, that whatever discs we threw at his system, it made great music. Thanks to Mick for his hospitality. Cheers, Robbo
