Turnkey is now owned by Sound Control - the price beat then spread to sound control stores (which are much smaller). They did this to stop price beating themselves.

They are also the largest pro audio retailer in Europe so their stock and kit is generally the biggest selection. Because they are the biggest you'll find their prices are generally the lowest.

They are also one of the rudest, most poorly informed and worst bunch of tossers I have ever had the misfortune to deal with anywhere in the world.
Forget any decent after sales service... they are just box shifters with a big flashy storefront.
I - and any company or person i ever work with, contract to, or advise- will never put a single cent, penny, euro, pound, dollar, shekkel, dinar or any other unit of currency their way every again.
Yes they pissed me off THAT much.

(yes I know you used to work for them Rann- nothing personal )

Good memory Freak and nothing personal taken!!! Why do you think I left? As a manager, you have no idea how many people I had to sort out due to the plethora of errors that were made by some staff there.

The sad thing is that during my years there (a good few years back now) there were a few, really great, genuinely talented and well informed people there, but certain members of upper management just didn't have any interst in long term staff retention, and thus treated most people like turd, which led to ever decreasing quality of staff.
I have no allegence to them now......but, if you know what you want, and walk in there with money ready to spend, you will walk away with the cheapest price you'll find that kit for in the uk. Just make sure they have it in stock and put it aside for you right before you go in (not a week or 2 days before becuase it will be gone by then).

No one has the Blofeld strange

I just wanted to chip in with another great site, from which you can buy what you need: playback-europe.com

It's where I've been buying all my stuff - amazing prices compared to Norwegian stores (at least), and are usually slightly cheaper than thomann, since you don't pay for shipping if you buy for over 500 euro.
