... and that coming from an admin / moderator of HFS. Me kicking a dead horse ? You gotta be jokin' Slinger... but very predictable as well... who is next ? I think that the above does Slinger an injustice. To be honest,as much as I admire free speech, Chukka is an embarrassment to himself and the forum. I hope (but somehow doubt) Chukka's enforced "holiday" calms him down.

Well, it all depends on what side your bread is buttered on. I don't know Chukka and understand the reasons for his forum suspension, but that does not alter the fact that much he said was the truth.
Even today after all the time passed, the NVA proprietor has accused me of tampering with the BMU when I had it on loan, regardless of the fact that when originally supplied to Martin it was a faulty unit with an insecure modular 13amp socket which he commented on. Later down the line I also experienced this fault on my own trial and commented on it in my review which the NVA proprietor is happy to have posted on his forum. Just because I, at a later date said that I took the opportunity of a restricted view inside the BMU chassis because of this fault has caused the NVA proprietor to persistently accuse me of tampering.
I am very glad that the loan scheme has been closed down and even grateful that other dealers did not take up the option to create their own loan schemes. I was very much hoping this admin decision would bring an end to the unreasonable and unlawful statements the NVA man keeps making about me.
The NVA loan scheme is still available through HFS or direct contact with the proprietor or through Dave here. Please beware. If you go there, you could well be later subjected to some very unreasonable attacks which can be highly unsettling. I have a robust nature, but many other don't. If you are not of that robust attitude, my advise is to leave NVA well alone.
What a shame. NVA products are in general good performers and very good value. MOD: personal attack removed. Furthermore, he has a couple of lackies on his forum who, like him, are complete hypocrites and are so deluded that they cannot differentiate between the absolute truth and the lies perpetuated by the NVA man. Actually, I think they have an alternative agenda. By sucking up to the proprietor, they expect and it appears get preferential service.
Yep, why don"t I take my arguement to HFS and not polute it here. Well I'm banned at HFS so have no right of reply there. Interestingly, the cause of my ban was that I exposed a member who was telling deliberate lies about another forum owner. I have little time for that forum owner, however I have even less time for dishonestly misinforming any readership. Apparently my challenge to that was unacceptable as the forum/owner concerned was an arch enemy to NVA so even anything telling the truth concerning him was automatically rejected.
Sorry, the whole thing pisses me off big style. I would like RD to just go away and stop making false allegations against me. Martin et al moderators, please think seriously again. Do you really want to remain associated with this nutter? Really, think it through. Yes, you like his cables MOD: personal attack removed and if you engage with him, you run the risk of being sucked into his bizarre and irrational world. Avoid at all cost.

Martin et al moderators, please think seriously again. Do you really want to remain associated with this nutter? Really, think it through. Yes, you like his cables . . Avoid at all cost. I just wanted to respond to this point, Greg. What association are you objecting to? The fact that I have reviewed NVA products as well as those of other vendors? I've been doing that ever since being a member of AoS, although my reviews there have since been removed. It's an important point for me: I don't want to be biased against good products for emotional reasons outside of the merit of the product itself. Not that I carry a grudge, life is really too short. Members expect to be told of such products, especially those representing good value for money. I see what the other forums do, banning all mention of NVA, and I find it highly distasteful. They are truly doing their members a disservice. You don't like NVA. I don't like Bose (for instance). We can both live with that as long as it doesn't become personal and taint everything we post.

I think you will find that a lot of people find the behaviour on HFS highly distasteful, and as RD is an admin of that forum, it is associated with NVA.
Just telling it as it is.

Yes, but we've said often enough that we don't care what goes on elsewhere as long as the baggage isn't brought here.

Just telling it as it is. You just keep telling us like it is from your bubble of a world Kevin.. again and again and again... If you were to read the welcome message on the HFS index page, it clearly states that "This is not an NVA forum", but it wouldn't suit your agenda if the facts got in the way of you having a free dig at RD/NVA, something of a luxury not afforded to you on the other hi-fi fora you frequent...

It says a lot on that forum, most of which is ignored when it suits. That's why I gave up visiting it. Nothing I have posted here recently is having a dig. It's my opinion of a "statement product" you are referring to? Read my posts again and you will see that I compared them to my SSC which I believe was a better finished product. Other cable assemblers seem to be able to finish their products well (and for reasonable prices). I wouldn't buy it anyway, so what does it matter?
Anyway, this is drifting into the "baggage" category.

Ahhh... yet another member of the "rent-a-rabble"... nice concise and grown up response there Chris and from somebody who clearly didn't have a grasp of how the loan scheme here was supposed to work here...

Just one question. What is the difference between my bubble, and the one you appear to live in?

Well, how can it not be ?
What is that saying ? If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.
Say no more.

It's a genuine question. You shouldn't be so defensive. Your title says that you're Lurker in Cheif, and I just wondered where Cheif is.

This is pretty tiresome now and has drifted WAY off topic.

Sometimes, the thread drift that occurs when the original topic dies out, can be "entertaining".

Many thanks Noddy, you are of course right and it was only a matter of time before the grammar police pulled me up on that one Sorry MartinT, my last comment here is really just for the benefit of Chris and our previous exchange (I'm trying to do my proper job at the same time). As I pointed out in the Hi-Fi Forum thread elsewhere here, I'm currently a bit of a forum nomad. This is primarily down to the fact that I'm sick and tired of the same circular arguments with regards RD/NVA on every forum I visit. The big difference between me and some here is that I don't have a thin skin and I'm able to separate the two entities. I know that RD is like Marmite, but the bottom line is that NVA kit not only sounds great, its fantastic value and as such, I will always recommend it when I feel necessary. What irks me is that the agenda monkey's who are unable to vent on the fora they live on simply choose to pollute threads here discussing the individual and not the kit. If you can't join HFS, drop RD and email and deal with him direct, but don't continually bore us with this repetitive personal nonsense ...anyway, back to lurk mode

Is the scheme actually locked, or on hold?
