P.S any loyalty discount for the KLEI plugs I keep buying from your site? 😂 I shall message you with an address and you can post it whenever you see fit. We don't have a cast iron date as yet but it will be before June. Cheers 😊

How would you respond if after instigating an event you are then banned from attending? What's Macca's problem? Or is he just following orders? Macca is a grown man who can answer his own questions. How would I react? Firstly, I'd be disappointed that I wasn't welcome and have a good look at myself to evaluate why that would be the case. Secondly, I'd try and build some bridges if the absence of my person and my equipment bothered me. Thirdly, I'd never threaten an existing, loyal customer base with blacklisting them, removing their warranty and future product support, if they provided THEIR PURCHASED AND OWNED equipment for a bakeoff. A threat which could potentially put off new customers. Would I buy a product that I'm not free to do as I want with? Imagine buying a Sony TV and them saying AFTER you've bought it, "We don't support the BBC so if this TV is used to watch ANY BBC channel, we will blacklist you so you can no longer buy Sony goods, remove your warranty and all future support. Outrageous. No one would buy it. Anyway, that's why I felt it best to fore warn anyone potentially thinking of loaning or attending with NVA gear. Perhaps Macca will do the decent thing then and give his reasons. RD is RD and is unlikely to change. I don't think a look in the mirror would result in change. As an impartial observer, at times he does seem to do himself no favours and can be his own worst enemy. On the other hand, that has to be sent against the tosh directed in his direction from individuals with their own agendas and axes to grind, not to mention those that dislike the mirror of truth held up to them. I'm still at a loss as why he is regarded as he is. A Marmite personality. But does he really deserve what gets directed his way? At least you're not neutered on his forum.

Richard is a nice guy in person. Well I think so anyway. Trouble is he is Jekyll and Hyde. Once he gets back to his PC all hell breaks loose.
On his forum he is surrounded by what seems to be almost fanatical people who take joy in attacking others and basically taking the piss all day which is extremely disturbing.
I have his phono stage which is extremely good and when we baked it off at my place it pissed all over most of the others in fact I sat listening to it thinking f..k me this cannot sound this good but it did.
So any serious phono stage bake off must include this product as it can easily hold its own and I have no agenda here I only care about sound quality, end of.

If anyone sees a used NVA phono stage id be very interested in any condition because it would not be staying in its original enclosure..

It deserves to be at any bakeoff on merit. Agreed.

We all have an opinion on Richard Dunn but it should not reflect on his NVA products. The latter are fine to talk about, but I'm aware that this could turn into a personal shit-fest so I'm stopping it now before it happens.

Agreed and apologies to all parties, if I overstepped with any comment. Edited previous post too.

There will be a bake off at my place sometime in May. The last 2 were highly enjoyable occasions.
People need to put their differences aside and start behaving like normal human beings, hell look at the leader of North Korea even he has put his differences aside with the south and look what's happened!
Nick Gorham has 2 new phono amps in the offering so it is a good opportunity to hear them next to whatever else turns up on the day and of course his reference model which so far remains unsurpassed.
If mods want to move this fine.

Are you doing a phono-stage bakeoff David, or is it more general than that?

That MF phonostage is something very special. It's the best phonostage I've ever heard. Truly special.
