Re: NVA2

Yet this was conveniently banned from happening by Marco, Macca, Fireybum, Bigboy and AoS in general = ludicrous partiality. If the Stoke bake off had been a properly organised event, and not held in what looked like a Victorian drill hall that needed a PA, and with not deliberately biased comparis...

Re: NVA2

I think the "Tone" of the post was fine but probably I'll advised to put his opinion on this page. Funnily enough I have put my opinion on the page, expressing my preferences, but they have been removed. I will repeat I have also said the NVA2 is a good stage. Hello Firebottle, I can only...

Re: NVA2

Perhaps someone with some time can explain to him. The phrase (now removed) that was used by 'Somethingfunny' was ad-hominem because it appeared to attack the motive and character of the member (classicrock) rather than address the arguments being made. The interpretation was correct that it was a ...

Re: NVA2

You are wrong and let it go. Ad Hominem is not allowed under our rules nor is questioning admin decisions publicly. So your last post will be removed as well. I am fed up of explaining our rules if you want to be a member here then you should read them and abide by them. Perhaps someone with some t...

Re: NVA2

Ironically the Phono 2 is the most 'valve like' solid state stage I have heard without the inconvenience and expense of tube replacement. "It reproduces music as 'accurately' as I can possibly tell irrespective of how it measures" and what components are used. Therefore Firebottle's 'revi...

Re: NVA2

You can measure Dave's one if you want. I don't object to measurement I object to the motivation and agenda. That's an excellent stance Doctor. Lurcher makes sense too, no point killing the life and soul of the unit to reach the RIAA. As close as possible whilst retaining the life is a compromise, ...

Re: NVA2

I can't keep repeating Somethingfunny, I will have to shorten it. Some or thing or funny all don't work STF sounds almost like STFU. Any suggestions. Anyway what we have here is a classic example of FUD https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty_and_doubt it needs to be seen for what it is. ST...

Re: NVA2

"You have investigated with what, do you realise how inacurate your measurements are, what was the reference. RIAA is a filter they are all inacurate and inacuracies will change as from used normally i.e. listening to music or connected to a test rig" I don't understand this? Are the measu...
