I cant see this taking shape with sound control, although they have reduced stocks from what they used keep in store at my local branches-

As for Turnkey - i doubt - but the store did change owners a couple of years back and then delivery service went rubbish and information given by staff seemed a little less knowing.

so i suppose time will tell with this answer Pete.

i have just seen the email, but i would not take it at face value, as it is from Dolphin music, Not too far from me in liverpool, it does look like abit of a ploy;


After many months of speculation and rumour it has been revealed today, 30th April 2008, that Sound Control, including Turnkey, have gone into administration.

At least 10 stores have already closed and unfortunately 100+ staff have been laid-off. At this time we have no further information, but what is quite clear is that any new or existing orders are unlikely to be fulfilled.

We take customer service very seriously at Dolphin Music, so in view of the demise of Sound Control, we will be increasing staffing levels this week & this weekend to ensure that we can meet the increased demand.

In view of the serious impact these events could have on customers who have placed orders in good faith, Dolphin Music would like to offer an advice service to any worried Sound Control or Turnkey customers. Anyone seeking advice on how to cancel a Sound Control or Turnkey order and ensure that they receive a refund should call the number below and one of our advisors will be happy to assist.

Any customers planning to make a purchase from Sound Control or Turnkey are equally welcome to call Dolphin Music and we will match or better the price offered by them.

I only spoke to Turnkey last week over a product and their was no mention of this,

only one way to find out i may phone tomorrow!

Also my source.
If it is a marketing ploy then it is rather underhand and I would have thought Dolphin were above it. I have used all 3 suppliers at times but Dolphin more than any. Any rumour mongering could cause extreme damage to their reputation I would have thought
