[A6] Power Supply

[stevie]

Yea I read that article too which also said the tuning issues have been 
fixed. The main problem is the wait until they have enough orders in the 
UK to send over another batch something which is all too familiar to me 
after my 9 month Andromeda hell I had starting around this time last 
year (tried 3 different units all of which were faulty). I'd prefer to 
buy new because of the warranty however I may just have to bite the 
bullet and buy 2nd hand in the UK so I can at least try it out first

cheers
