I have finally found a supplier who sells them in Australia
www.i-tech.com.au
Now which is better - the mono or stereo? Why are people only wanting the
mono model?
Just deciding which one to buy.
The 24 disk stereo model is at:
http://www.i-tech.com.au/products/item316.asp
The 12 disk mono model is at:
http://www.i-tech.com.au/products/item315.asp
Thanks,
Dale.
