Impossible to say. Trying to calculate the cost of a Borg Cube is like trying to figure out the size of the universe.

Futile, just like all your resistance !

Oh yes.

I really would like to film/see their faces when they try to carry those 50-80 Kg boxes down two floors on narrow stairs.

 

[bemcsa]

Are there such things as burglars in Switzerland?

I bet you wouldn't try that if you lived in Manchester, Birmingham, London ....

I think some people here are rather paranoid. The likelihood of a prospective burglar surfing these forums to steal someone's esoteric and expensive hifi gear is extremely remote to say the least. You're average burglar wouldn't have a clue what to do with a £5K+ bit of hifi.

Sell it to crack converters for £50 as usual

 

[bottleneck]

I was talking about that the other day.

Id expect a burglar to steal my transport, thinking its a CD player. and probably my x-box.

You never know though!
:S

eek

 

[julian2002]

swiss law probably allows titian to lock any burgalars up in his basement whilst applying the full welding current output of his krell to said thiefs nads for extended periods.

Tom ,
I remember a story from a few years back, told to me by my local hifi dealer .
Basically the thief/ thieves , instead of messing around disconnecting everything , simply cut all the connecting cables .
From the story , I deduced that (as no smoking bodies were found at the scene)
the culprits had the sense to turn the power off at the wall first.
Although if our old friend RA was to be believed all the valuable items in the system would be cut in half .

 

[Tom Alves]

Well, if someone offers you some olive Naim boxes with no interconnects or power leads, let me know. It might be mine.

[badchamp]

Visit a dealer in Camden several years ago, to pick up my Audions just repaired.

They'd just been burgled . Theives left the most expensive pre amp in the shop sitting on a shelf and amongst other things took a single monoblock!

Fortunately they left my amps (sitting in full view on the table) alone. Probably didn't recognise them as amps
