Yes of course, 'off-topic' in terms of discussions not about hi-fi. However in this instance, I'm referring to posts made NOT belonging to the thread topic ('About as much use as'), started by the OP, and which arguments deriving from fallouts from a phono stage bake-off, come under.
And incidentally, it wasn't me who raised the subject of the now 'infamous' phono stage bake-off, on this thread, it was Petrat (Peter), here:

I simply, subsequently, used the opportunity to have a (well-deserved) dig at a well-known idiot/balloon (highlighting his idiocy) , such is my privilege, which I choose to exercise here occasionally.
Anyway, enough of that now. Let's get back to the THREAD TOPIC - ta!
