Arkless / Cambs Audio 640p phono stage

Unread post by Dr Bunsen Honeydew »

If anyone has one of these I will send you a NVA Phono1 for comparison and if you think it is better I will swop so I have one of these to take to bake-offs etc.

It is the only way for the truth to be out there :mrgreen:

This is purely a reaction to the usual lies and nonsense going on at AoS.

Can you see any other alternatives, lies will be said anyway, they are at the moment. Anyway I don't know how to make things deliberately worse, I can break them or stop them working but what is the point of that.

If it was electro mechanical like a TT then it is easy, Linn reps did it all the time to competitor units in dealers show room, even caught on camera doing it. With an electronic circuit it makes no sense, you have to know the circuit and work with it to make it better or worse. According to Arkless to make it worse just leave it as the original Cambs

Arkless has stated on AOS:

I know how good it is, as do the many customers who have bought one. I haven't found the lies masquerading as a review but it is strange that my phono stage has had nothing but rave review after rave until "reviewed" by a "competitor". I use the term competitor very loosely.... In every legitimate review I know of the Arkless 640P has easily beaten everything it has come up against.

Had a quick look at [banned forum] and whilst it was news to me it seems there is an ongoing campaign against me... much of it personal and by [expletive removed] who have never even met me or done business with me. They must be worried about the competition...


Surely, he will crawl on hands and knees to get to Huddersfield and have his phono stage 'easily beat everything it comes up against'?

He has become very defensive since the now removed posts on AoS about the comparison with the Phono 1 appeared. After his comment about DQ he can't be surprised it has got personal. He is a complete arse with a business founded on shill.

I don't know were he gets 'lies' from, I said I was a happy user of his phonostage, just that it was soundly beaten by the Phono 1.

It looks like he set up a false ID yesterday, Kevin from the US. An immediate request for a loan of his phono stage. Kevin was welcomed by conspirators, Bigman and arselickhifinutt. It is all so desperate and pathetic.

Has this now been deleted, I can't find any mention of Kevin?
