    Guys, including you Alan, may I remind you that this is someone's sales thread, and therefore not a place for such discussion or the use of derogatory language, which is tantamount to thread crapping.

    Therefore I will prune the thread later. In future, would you please check which part of the forum contains the posts you're responding to before replying, rather than just doing so without bothering looking - ta!

    Apologies if I set the ball rolling on this, it was only after I noted the unit had indeed been sold. As a final comment I would say that that people often confuse the Lounge Audio LCR MKII and MKII for the Valab LCR MKII and III. Needless to say they are completely different units. Anyway, Kevin at Valab can explain the MKIII improvements over the earlier model much more eloquently than me...

    I had noted that the stage had been sold and just called out the apparent stupidity in counting capacitors as a way of telling the quality of a phono stage.

    It does sometimes beggar belief the ridiculous notions that find their way into 'common belief' without technical understanding.

    Still, sales ads aren't the place for doing that, mate, regardless of whether the item advertised had been sold or not.. Keep it for threads on the main forum. Remember the rules in this respect, [which apply to everyone]:
