Just in case you haven't been in recently, things are a little chaotic in store. After the massive deluge on Saturday night, our DJ room flooded. It was quite a sight on Monday morning! We lost a fair amount of great gear, but there were definitely survivors.
Our Carl Cox and Roger Sanchez signed CDJ1000 decks survived, as did our beautiful pair of Limited Edition Technics Goldmembers. Casualties included Denon, Pioneer, Technics, Xone:Series, Numark, and a bunch of lighting products from SDV. Ouch. Anyhow, we've still got plenty of DJ & lighting stock scattered around the building while our room is getting renovated. The de-humidifier should be finished by the end of this week, and then we get to rebuild. Don't worry, we'll keep you posted!

Usually you'll find us in good (often great) spirits both in and out of the shop, but Olympic Friday 08.08.08, we woke up in a foul mood. The burglary alarm went off at about 4.44am Friday...we've been invaded by a thief.
We got some great video footage on our CCTV, so once we've got clearance, it will be posted here. In the meantime, please keep an eye out for us if you can. We'd love to make sure some justice is served.
The burglar had a rummage through our computer music room, but the 2 macs were well secured. He did a little damage trying unsuccessfully to detach them from the security lock.
Here's the one that will hopefully unstick the unfortunate individual...he took a
TL Audio VP-1 preamp. We don't imagine there are many of them in Australia. We've still got the box, including
serial number 160291 and spec sheet signed by Tony Larking.
For those who don't like clicking...here's a pic:
The Denon DNS3500 might be another clue if you're looking....he smashed off the spinning platter on his way out, so the unit is basically
rooted for stunt use (though it will still play CDs).
He left us with some damaged goods: Apple MacBookPro 15", Apple iMac20", Pioneer CDJ400 and Joe Meek OneQ.
Really, at the low prices we normally sell this stuff for, he should have just walked in the front door during business hours and asked for a deal. What a prick.
Hopefully, with a bunch of audio-minded people packing it into South Melbourne for the
AMAC show at
Jeff's Shed, we can listen out for anything out of the ordinary.
Please keep an eye out if you can.
Thanks. More to follow!
here's the VP-1 document we have (pdf)
