My only contact with Richard was through the forum and via a few phone calls when I had a some issues with the kit. Richard was always extremely helpful and pleasant over the phone although one conversation did illicit an expletive over his frustration with someone else but within seconds he was over it and back on our discussion.
I recently had a problem with the in my AP70SA I PM'd Richard to ask about returning the amp to have it checked over and he immediately identified the problem from my description of the fault, he suggested that I opened the amp and if it was possible for me to repair it myself he was happy for me to do so. If not I could send it back for repair. Fortunately it was a simple job which saved me quite a bit of time and money. With hindsight this might have been due to Richard's illness but it did have the effect of making me feel that I was a valued and trusted NVA customer.
I look forward to his legacy being continued by those who have been helping him with kit building recently and will miss him on the forum.
I know only too well the AP20 sagas - cough - (not *all* my fault over it all I swear, but I was a very handy scapegoat at the time and I did try to make amends financially to him after for this). I can only apologise for the inconvenience you went through back then.
