I have seen over the past month or so how people are praising Keith's KAT5
kit, I have been putting it off for a few reasons,

1,	I do not really understand what it is all about
2,	I am only now starting t  get the kit t gether to start the big project
3,	I do not have a lot of experience of modern Audio/Visual kit, Hey my CD
player is over 11 years 	old! Technics SL-P3 bought in Germany May 1997 for
?310, a lot of money then.
4,	same as 1

I will not be far away from an order soon, are they still available Keith?
