jtfoo 0 Report post Posted September 8, 2003 btw, how do I test buffers, to see if they're working? I checked all voltages on the buffer that I accidentally shorted just now, and they all still look fine. That would be difficult without you installing the dil socket. Just leave one buffer installed in any of the socket and test for sound. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Northern Oak 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2003 Ablaze: Get used to it (RS). From my previous encounters, I would say that they (RS) sucks big time. Wrong billing, late deliveries, F.U. attitude. Not only personal orders, corporate accounts as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ablaze 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2003 tell me about it. I called earlier in the morning about the hammond case, they said they got some in stock. called a few hours later, nobody knew what I was talking about, say will call me back within the hours. another few hours later, called again, said they'll call me back asap too. in the end, I ordered from farnell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northern Oak 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2003 Good choice! Anyway, since both companies now impose delivery charges unless minimum order value exceeded, there's not much difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
