Latest Business Developments

I have been busy, for a little while, setting things in motion ready for the new venture.

I have purchased a domain and hosting ready for my website to be generated (all I need now is some capital input so that this can be put in progress). 

I have now got a workspace and office which is fully equipped and working.  I also have access to many spare parts, so please get in touch about your items that require service.  There doesn't seem to be that many repair people around these days, so mail order repairs and spares now appears to be a viable option.  I have operated a similar service for other dealers around the country in the past.  I also performed a huge number of AC3 conversions on laserdisc players by mail order.  So there is no reason why repairing/servicing cannot work direct to end-user, I already have a good courier service that can pick-up as well as deliver.

I now have an account with The Chord Company, manufacturer of award-winning cables for hi-fi & home cinema.  As many previous customers will recognise, I am a great advocate of this companies products and great believer in their philosophy.  Please direct your enquiries and orders here!  No matter what your level of system, I can help you choose the right cables for optimum performance. 

Many will also know of my great knowledge and expertise with installed audio and visual systems.  This is an area that I hope to be returning to.  It is something that I enjoy immensely - the conception and design of a system and being able to see the project through to completion and working.  In the past I have worked with pubs, clubs, village halls, houses of worship, conference rooms, council chambers, leisure centres and much more.  I have even designed systems for the client and successfully instructed his electrician in the installation of the system by telephone and email.  I now have access to a variety of commercial installation products and would very much like the opportunity to carry on this work.

Shrinking Violets Gig

Followers that I may have will recall the posting in November, "A Letter From A Friend", in which I gave a brief description of Al Horton's musicianship with the Shrinking Violets.  You can get to see them at The Star Inn, St. Just this Saturday (12th December).

It's Al Horton on guitar, Verite Alexander on vocals and a little Japanese guy called Sony on backing.  He's very good, he plays bass, keys, percussion and more, all at the same time too!  But seriously, all the backing tracks are put together by Verite, they're not "bought in".

The style of music these guys play is pop-rock / rock, the sort of stuff that usually goes down well anywhere.  Al is quite an acomplished guitarist and very adaptable.  Verite's vocals are just mind bogglingly dynamic.

Might see you there.

RJF Audio Visual stock in Liquidation Auction

In my first blog posting, I told of the demise of my comany, RJF Audio Visual, after 20 years of trading. Today I'm just putting up a very quick posting to let you know that the companies' stock is up for auction, as no reserve listings.  No doubt there will be some rediculessly cheap bargains to be had, even with the buyers premium and VAT.  The auction is of an on-line style and is running now for the next 7 days.  The stock is being held in Cheltenham and for certain items it would be well worth a journey of several hundred miles to pick-up the spoils.  Have a look at AMS Actions now and be shocked at what's happening.

Here's a few items as a taster of what's on offer.  Prices I've given in brackets are a guide of the new selling price:-

My all time favourite Quad 2805 ESL's (new price c. £6,000), these are our ex-dem pair.

All 4 QSC active PA cabs - 2x 12" 500W top / stage wedge cabs plus the 2x 15" 700W subs (c.£4,000).

Alto PBM4 mini PA amp (£200).

KAM KAP1000 MkII DJ Mixer.

Denon DVD2500 blue ray player.

Nuforce Reference 9V2 power amps. (Be careful here, one of the 3 listed is actually half of the pre-amp stage, the other half was one item taken in the robbery, but they are worth £1,800 each and the distributor can supply the missing box, so try to buy all 3!)

Allen & Heath PA12 pro live mixing console.

Arcam FMJ A18 and A28 integrated amps.

Densen B-300 integrated amp (£1,000).

Quad 99 and 909 power amps (£550 and £850).
