All to get recognition from the bots and spiders to get more members and momentum. TonyL and PFM doesn't need that nonsense because it was in early, it got natural momentum, same with Wigwam that the new owner has mostly thrown away.

Agree wit the above, i saw through that very early on.

Are people having bake off's over at whathifi forum ? Is there potential there ? Would seem like a good idea to get it going at a seemingly large forum like that.

The best forums for bake-offs are still New Wigwam and also now the Old Wigwam crowd at Audio Abattoir.

Existing hifi owners looking for a 2nd system for office, study, 2nd living area
Owners of high-efficiency speakers - e.g. Klipsch Heresy - looking for affordable and musical amps
Curious / open minded enthusiasts attracted by the NVA ethos
Those looking to 'downsize' without losing musicality
Enthusiasts organising bake offs
Enthusiasts buying gifts for their 'grown up' children
Those who enjoy combining modern with classic / or those who want to turn a computer audio set up into a full system - smartphone / tablet to dac to pre

I think the first possibility listed above might be the most promising. They might well find that the on loan NVA second system sounds better than their first system.

I think there is limited opportunity where young people are concerned. All they seem to be interested in is single speaker or headphone convenience.

I concur that Facebook is the best way to get the message across.

I have decided to stick my big toe in the eBay Black Friday promotion, so as long as I haven't goofed up the listings at one minute past midnight next Friday up to 4am Saturday morning (to cover USA) there will be a good discount on *some* NVA products. Things that are on a sort of permanent promotion like the P20 / A20 starter system and a couple of item I am short of cases for wont be going on.

I thought about when I should tell you lot and decided to give you fair notice in case any of you were buying this week. It is not really for you lot but to see if I can get new customers, but if you are after something that is on the list it will help you take the plunge and press the button

Richard will that be via the website or via the Ebay Portal

Listings at ebay. I am short of cases on phono stages so I don't think they are part of it. I forget now as I did it a week ago, have a look on Friday.

Ok Doc thanks for that info.

Damn, just as I came across NVA in my googling for the first time today and was preparing to pull the trigger on a Phono 1 too. Just have to pay full price in due course instead, I guess.

Even at full price ALL NVA stuff is a bargain !!! Well some stuff is actually super duper one ;]

That is pretty much my stance too Berty LOL that extra little sweetener would have resulted in an immediate order. I have heard the Phono 1 and 2 and confirm they are both fabulous pieces of equipment at sensible money, and the Phono 2 + extra power supply will be in my system fairly soon anyway (at whatever price point .......it was that good in my opinion,) but the Black Friday ethos is that the little sweetner just brings in a few extra orders, but like Doc says if he has not got the cases available then its a none starter which is fair enough.
