    Yep, minimal facilitating state-subsidised services and the rest left to entrepreneurs

    Amazon staff aren't paid low wages in poor conditions. They are paid above the rate that other German companies pay for similar work

    Except Amazon staff who are being paid low wages in extraordinarily poor conditions of service - German workers are on strike over this.

    Perhaps poor Winchester scholar / Ies:Coll:Cantab graduate James had a hand in it... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/ar...e-job-get.html

    And I assumed that the railways were involved - don't the post office use trains anymore? Blame Bruce Reynolds and friends perhaps...

    And cheap will do for the moment - I'll research if better quality is available once I hear what the basic sounds like.

    And - amazing performance by amazon: ordered at half-past midnight yesterday, the Airport Express and the cable arrived (from separate sources, by two separate deliveries, the cable by Royal Mail) this morning to my doorstep, by 11am, in the teeth of gales etc.

    Sometimes, this country works

    Nice one!!

    I'm going to talk to the guys in the Apple shop about hooking up to the active speakers that I bought to free me from my cumbersome Naim.

    However, I could also benefit from linking it to the Naim untill I finally part with it.

    Problem is the DIN connections. Let me know how you work around that one.
