hi rod snipe is a bidding tool that allows you to enter your bid then it will bid for you i set mine for 3 seconds before the auction dont know if 2 works never used it always set 3 seconds anyway does not guarantee you will win but it does stop this sort of thing, just put in the amount you will go up to and it bids for you, there are others but dont know them. you do have to pay but it is not very costly and only charges when you win. esnipe.com you will find a lot of people use it this is why there is a bidding frenzy in the last few seconds of auction. mark

mainstring and i got what need my 2 faves my latest plug at the moment from a different artist is dutch robinson cant get along without you goes down well. ok if i havent got better taste it must be the looks yes thats it i'm better looking i know so cos my mother tells . mark (the handsome promoter)

A good amp will have no base and treble as they are not required, always used to leave the base and treble at nothing on my system at the moment i have no system but i do have my new turntable it is a project the clear acrylic one they had a special offer it came with speed control and £350 ruby cartridge so will be building from that, mark

i have had this discussion with my brother as he is a hi fi freak i think that due to the fact that the records most of us play (not mint) is it worth the expense valve amps are at the top end of hi fi and cost thousands if you wasnt to go down this route you will need a top turntable with very good tone arm and cartridge so this is going to set you back a lot, most people tend to go for linn decks and the upgrade them as they can, my brother used to have a thorens turntable and another (cant remember ) ar cost him £250 cartridge about same so it does start to add up add speaker cables and interconnects, he had a sugden amp. And what have you spent ££££££. but is it any better listening than say a £250 turntable with reaonable cartridge and stylus a amp of similar price and the speakers similar price and interconnects at £30 each speaker cable, and decent racks you will have spent about £1000.00 + compared to £3000.00 to £4000.00 or more even more with stands added. you van only tell bu going and listenig at the shop or better still if they are a good shop they will bring it to your home to test it. the choice is yours (i personally could never tell the difference between my system and his but then again i am a philistine his words not mine. mark

it is no mystery he is noted for all the things said on the site he is a massive dr who fan and did find some missing episodes and he did do a lot of stuff for the hi nrg scene for fairly obvious reasons, and he was probably one of the best northern dj's in his time, so seems reasonable to be included, and all the date was uploaded by K9 mark

the youth clubs near me in old trafford manchester were a lot of the time sports clubs, it tended to be church ones where music played english martyrs in stretford had a record player and the locals used to play their own records usually soul or northern, my real introduction to soul was at my parish church disco which as 11/12 year olds we started and the dj was a friends big brother who used to play all the motown stax atlantic stuff and some blue beat and reggae, this was in from 1971 onwards he was a real mobile dj with own equipment, when i got to 15/16 my older brother had met lads from work who were into northern and it all went from there, mark
