We're all out of:

Faceplate Kits
UK, EU & IEC AC Adapters

We still have:

Car Mounts
Remote Controls
USA (compact plug top) AC Adapters

As previously announced, the store will close on May 31st 2002 (or sooner if we sell out of everything!).

Wow! Thanks for the offer Dave, but Ive sorted it out a long time ago. I wanted IEC for easy connection to a UPS, but I've hacked a IEC male to a 4way UK adapter for those other devices with UK plugs on

In the PC room, the UPS's power everything...
The plan is to have enough for the whole house, bar taking a shower or cooking on electric...
Auto switched to a generator, least in the long term...

I just got my order. It was wrapped in many many many layers of clear blue plastic. It looked like someone had just kinda threw it together. One of those 'midnight mailbox' ebay type packages.

I don't think I've had 2 packages put together the same way from SB. I had to go to work so I've not opened it yet.

Maybe there's a brand new Rio Car inside...!!!

But this package would have come from the UK guys, not the SB US e-store / little shop of inconsistencies...

My two last MkIIas, as well as the first one, came shrinkwrapped together in clear blue plastic (all from the UK store). Since the box the empeg comes in is quite adequate to protect it in shipping (unless someone makes a concious effort to play basketball with it...) I far prefer this method compared to the US e-store way of sticking it in a larger box with inadequate packing material (IIRC someone reported all of 4 styrofoam peanuts) causing the empeg box to slide and bump back and forth inside the larger box.

no new Rio car. Just everything I ordered in perfect condition. The extra AC adapter is like the one that comes with the Rio Car. It's the little one. Much nicer than the big bulky unit you get in the US.

You might want to email David about that - dmoss@sonicblue.com

Shame you're arriving just after the Europe meet!

My order arrived this morning. I didn't know it would be shipped from Cambridge - as it is, the postie made a sarcastic comment about being faster and cheaper to walk there to collect it.

In reply to:

We still have:

USA (compact plug top) AC Adapters




Rob, does "USA compact plug" mean the small 1-piece units (transformer integrated at end with plug) that shipped with many EMPEG units, or the 2-piece unit (transformer in middle) that's shown in the picture to right of the item description?

It seems like the USA store only has the AC adapter? There are no more sleds?

Finally had to get an extra car mount - to hopefully turn into a box for my hi-fi rack. Was thinking about it as long term project, but don't want to have to build my own once they're gone.
