The Mike New Technics bearing

[Marco]

Hi Alex,

Well, as Dave C probably has just about the technical nous to wire a 13A plug, who other than you then is designing the Timestep electronics?

Marco, when you write things like this, it is plain silly, sorry. You obviously trying to be a judge in things you have very little or no knowledge about. I only posted my first message in this thread to correct what was obviously a misprint and a misinformation. I accept your apologies for the first and see no reason to be engaged in a discussion on the second. I can only repeat for you one more time: I did not design any products for Timestep. I don't like to be accused of lying.

Hi Alex,

Your reaction is actually quite telling, as you haven't categorically said that it's no-one else but Dave who designs it, as I expected you would......

I'm not accusing you of lying. I'm simply saying that as Dave quite clearly doesn't have the technical ability to design electronics, then someone else is obviously doing it for him.

As you're his best buddy, the logical conclusion is therefore that it's you, and indeed this is what I've been told. However, if you're flatly denying it is you, then I will of course respect that.

I will say no more on the subject.

Marco.

Marco,

I now regret that I've posted here. You are wrong on most counts. FYI, Dave is a qualified electronics engineer with many years of experience in electronics design. He can certainly design things much more complex than a power supply and he is good at measuring and evaluating electronics. And I know a good engineer when I see one. What you've just posted - twice - is a slander, and also shows that you have no idea what you are talking about.

And what Dave Cawley has said about Mike New's bearings, Alex, isn't slander????

Or doesn't that count because he is your buddy?

How can a proper engineer, of ANY type of discipline, not know that a turntable bearing CANNOT seize at 45 RPM due to heat?

You are wrong on most counts.

So what counts am I right on??

The fact is your buddy has made a total arse of himself during this whole sorry debacle, and has now lost all professional credibility. I therefore suggest that you bow gracefully out of this thread and leave it there!

Marco, you have your little vendetta against Dave and I don't think he needs my help in this respect - he's a big boy. So I will not be engaged in any discussion on that matter. For me the situation is quite clear and I am sure that in time it will be clear to all parties and observers. Till then - good bye!

Indeed it will, Alex, when Dave gets sued by Mike for every penny he's got for attempting to steal his designs

As they say in your neck of the woods, do svidaniya!

Greetings,
I have just posted in the welcome area in accordance with the forum rules.

My post starting this thread is not a troll. I just felt there is an unsavory attempt to discredit Mike New which I believe is not only unjustified but deplorable. I have purchased three Mike New bearing upgrades, all perfect.

I read elsewhere that someone reported a bearing leaked oil and degraded sonics within a short time (3-4 weeks) after installation. Nonsense! Even if the oil were to totally leak from the bearing over time, the oil is viscous and would still lubricate the bearing pressure pad for many more months. I think the oil leaking claim is a fabrication.

I sent a message to Dave, via his ebay auction and as expected, received a non answer. He has an agenda to advance his own cause but the tactics being used simply cast a dark cloud over his business acumen and character. My opinion, ymmv.

And let's keep that astute observation of Doug's at the forefront of our minds.....

Hey, Chris, so much for Doug being a troll. I think you owe him an apology!

I think the oil leaking claim is a fabrication.

That's almost beyond question.

Marco.

[chris@panteg]

yes i aplogise Doug no hard feelings ' but Marco i think you should also to Hamish and especially Alex ' pretty poor M8

[Marco]

If Hamish or Alex would like me to apologise to them, then I will gladly do so

However, as far as Hamish is concerned, he would (I hope) have known where I was coming from and the friendly spirit with which what I said was intended, even though I was rather 'robust', as he knows me pretty well and what kind of person I am.

I simply felt that he was allowing the wool to be pulled over his eyes, and that at some point in future some unscrupulous person may have taken advantage of this, and I wouldn't want that to happen.

Marco.
