un excellent produit, complet pour qui souhaite se (re)lancer dans l'écoute de ces bonnes vieilles galettes noires.
Commandé mercredi,reçu vendredi dans un emballage impeccable, rien ne manquais. Je recommande vivement ce produit ainsi que ce site. Merci pour cet excellent travail et pour votre disponibilité.
Merci Pere Noel
Il s'agit de ma premiere platine "sérieuse". J'ai parcouru tous les sites et tous les magasins de ma région (la moselle) mais aucun n'approchait de pres ou de loin la qualité du conseil (sans mentionner la passion) de Maplatine.com. Remerciements particuliers a Franck qui a repondu a mes nombreuses (et parfois stupides) questions et qui s'est également montré tres pedagogue lors de mes appels.
La platine est arrivée prete a l'emploi, préparée avec soin par l'équipe du magasin.
J'avais peur des degats potentiels causés durant le transport mais vu la qualité de l'emballage (le paquet ressemblait littéralement a un coussin d'air d'un bon demi-metre cube), il n'y avait rien a crainde.
Le pere noel etant passé plus tot que prévu, mes oreilles se régalent depuis hier et je suis 100% satisfait du conseil et du service.
