    Default Arkless 640P phono stage loan list.

    It's been 6 months or more since my demo unit last went on its rounds so I'm starting a new list here in which people can ask to try it for themselves.

    I will need a minimum of four people for this to be tenable.

    I'm sure most will have heard of it and be aware of its giant killing reputation... if not, google it. The many, many rave reviews are no doubt more meaningful than me telling you how wonderful it is

    You will not often see a manufacturer mention anything negative in what is basically a sales thread... but as the internet can be a harsh mistress with one hell of a long memory, and I've recommended googling it, I'll mention (mainly for those unfamiliar with the saga who may stumble across this "albatross around my neck") that there was an issue with untenably long delivery times around 5 years ago which earned me a personal slagging off on some forums. You will not find anything negative about the actual product, just rave reviews, and such issues are long in the past. You may buy with confidence

    MM and MC cartridges are catered for and any loading can be applied using loading plugs. Current price is £225 plus return postage and you need to supply a Cambridge Audio 640P or 651P for conversion.

    Hi Jez,

    I missed out on this offer last time. Is there any chance of being on the list this time? Always looking for perfection.... but does it exist??

    Let me know either way and I'll PM you.

    Just like Ford always send their stuff to BMW's marketing department and say "Hi guys, how about you write an unbiased review of the Ford V the BMW hatchback?"

    Seems to be a ridiculous amount of raving on those forums due to certain influences. Very unhealthy.

    Ok, guys, no more references to a certain banned forum., which have now been removed. You know the rules!

    Also, no more thread craps making negative comments about Jez's phono stage. If you're not interested in obtaining a loan of an Arkless 640P, with a view to buying one, then don't post on this thread, which is solely for that purpose.

    If you want to discuss reviews of other phono stages, in comparison with Jez's (which have taken place on forums allowed to be mentioned here), then start a new thread.

    Marco.
