    That NVA looks really nice. To be honest I've got no intention of removing g the Valab. I might change caps etc but not yet. I love mine.

    Message you direct? What's this about, Chris - are you NVA's new rep? Seems like a blatant promotion of NVA, with an unrelated item (an amp, not DAC), and on someone else's sales thread. That isn't on. You've been warned about this before.

    As ever, I'm ensuring that members here comply with the rules! How on earth was anyone meant to know that it was YOUR ad on ebay? You never indicated that was the case. We're not mind readers!!

    If you had explained the matter properly, there wouldn't have been an issue, so change your 'cheeky tone', looking to blame others for your own actions, and admit that YOU made a mistake by not explaining yourself properly, and we'll leave it there.

    Also, next time don't hijack someone else's sales thread in that way, and instead start one of your own, linking to any sales you have on ebay, and there'll be no problems.
