OK I should have done this a couple of pages ago.

If you are into the modern computer based concepts of audio then please buy AVI - do not even consider listening to NVA, it is not in the same league, do not waste your time.

AVI wishes to grow and become a big company and its design and marketing for perceived niche in the *market* means it deserves success and your support.

NVA does not wish to compete with AVI in any way and it humbly submits to an obvious superiority.

How can a pedantic old git with a soldering iron and solder blobs on his troosers possibly compete with that. Well obviously it cannot. I am happy just being me, staying small and building amps and cables for people who ask me to on ebay. That is the only reason I started again, I didn't want to! I make a perfectly good living teaching Qigong and Tai-Chi Chuan. I hate this industry and its delusional bullshit and I don't want to be part of it. I teach in th evening so I have time during the day to build things I want to in order to listen to music the way I want to. If you are stupid enough to buy them so be it!

Now can this thread *please* go back to a good old entertaining rant.

Grumpy Old Git.

Have a look at my post about buying a sub-woofer last week. I expect your 80w + amps would be ok with that, providing they don't clip and distort and blow up the speakers like cyrus stuff does.

I heartily agree that HiFi mags haven't got a clue and need more of a "solder blobs on the trouser" understanding.

Richard,

I can give you moderator rights just for this room, if you like. Then you're really in charge! ;)

Would you like that?

Marco [giggles mischeviously]

If he banned me he wouldn't have anyone else to talk to !

I'm going back to my own thread, I'm taking my rant with me too !

Where's the smilies gone ? you can never find anything when you want it ! D'ohh.

LOL. I wouldn't give him the rights to ban anyone, just move, delete, and edit posts. That alone could be tons of fun, though!

Why not have your own room just like this one? Then Richard could 'invade' yours... :eyebrows:

Richard,

With regard to semolina, when was the last time you ate it? Your taste buds might have changed! ;)

Marco (who's not eaten semolina since he was about 4).

Have you ever tried sticking your head in a gas oven and striking a match to find the leak.

No, I'm afraid not; that was just Pye in the sky. Do have a few black boxes, though!

RICHARD I yield to your ranting expertise and respect your private little chamber, as I do your designer and manufacturing reputation. Must investigate your phono stage to see if it would be compatible with a Koetsu I hope to buy soon.

BUGGER; meant to post this in Room 102; trespassing again!!
