what is the web address for AP direct , I cant seem to find it ?

Hi Nils,

The black covers have been available for quite some time, we've got one laying around here. The thing is that APD used to have the stance that they did not want units supplied with black covers because of the "safety" issue with not being a high frequency colour. This has now offcourse changed probably to consumer demand.

Anyway hope you and Tony are enjoying your new units and be great to see you back down hear sometime this year.

Greetings,
Marc
