    I would be interested to hear what "refreshingly new approaches " you would suggest.
    I am making my comments just like anyone else. So by writing that you are with the others gives me the impression that I am the only person questioning the approach. If that is the case, then I have no further comments to make and consider myself a fool and an idiot to even have taken the time to participate in this thread. Let that be a lesson to me for sticking my nose in other people's business!

    Whilst I have sympathy for the guy that lost his money and possibly for the guy who's business might have gone tits up I have to say that and we should use some to lock the thread before it becomes a shitfest of arguments and insults.

    Stanley, you are correct. You ARE entitled to make a comment just like anyone else. That is welcome.

    But please dont take a strop just because you are in a minority. The world is not against you.

    If you want to consider yourself a "fool and an idiot", then that is up to you. But please dont try and make anyone else feel guilty, simply for voicing an opinion different from yours.

    Your last sentence is just ridiculous. Where is that nonsense coming from ?

    Defence of the indefensible should be commented on, otherwise it's the very worst kind of censorship.

    Lock the thread? That would be completely counter-productive. The whole point of the thread being started in the first place was to highlight the situation.

    No, the discussion will be moderated, if necessary, not locked. We like to promote discussion here, Andy, not stifle it with censorship.

    Guys. Make valid points by all means from either side of the debate, but can we please put thoughts forward in a way that avoids anyone feeling 'on the backfoot'.

    (and no I'm not expressing an opinion on this thread at the moment)
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    I would have no problem with this posting if it weren't for the fact that we only have our members word for any of it. This is not to doubt his word, merely to point out that, in spite of giving the court and the dates, we are accepting that the information we are being given is correct without having heard from 'the other side' or seen proof.

    This seems a little dangerous as someone's business is involved.

    I very much sympathise with the OP as to spend out that much without return is no joking matter.

    The only person coming across as 'on the back foot' ( that didn't put himself there) is the poor sod that's £1400+ out of pocket, with court cases won and backing him up, and with proof of lies told in court to try and make a bitter pill to big to swallow. I'd really love to see this chap get his money back.
    I run my own business, providing a service to customers for which they pay. The behaviour portrayed by the business model above, disgusts me. I have a strong opinion on the subject.

    People in the trade, especially in a niche product market like Hi-Fi, should realise that they don't exist without their customers. Not the other way round. Nobody is doing me a favour by taking my money.

    I'm gonna be honest, I don't want stan to get pissed off and leave the forum. We have had loads of good people leave due to threads turning nasty.
