NVA interconnects

[Gordon Steadman]

Regardless of any issues I or anyone else might have with the individual concerned the recent tone of this thread is unbecoming in my opinion, and it doesn't sit comfortably with me...

Indeed, anyone who takes this seriously when the disagreements between the two parties is well documented should have a little talk with themselves. Airing this on a public forum is in extremely bad taste.

We are not here to unfairly damage a products reputation based on personal issues with the manufacturer.

+1. Not cool at all.

'Trial by Soundpipe'... don't think this one would hold up in court...

Ok I have to agree with the previous posts concerning the inappropriate tone of earlier posts. I have in any event purchased a pair of Super Sound Cords, I will be very interested in how they perform.

I guess that when you're nearer 70 than 60, blindness (and senility) starts to kick in with a vengeance!

Meaning?

SSP's do not come with Pro-Fi plugs I have just checked my set.

Andrew, they do if you order them with the Pro-Fi option:

There's no need for this thread to get hostile. Many of us have said, including me, that the cables sound good, otherwise I wouldn't have bought 3 1/2 pairs.
But you can rarely have *everything* with a product or manufacturer: good sound, good construction, good prices. With NVA you get good sound and good prices, but as a long-time NVA user my opinion is that the construction is poor, attention to detail is poor and fit and finish is poor. I don't think that's controversial or unfair, I think it generally reflects that manufacturer's products, and since I own a fair amount of NVA gear I think I have a right to state my views without other people trying to turn it into something personal which it quite clearly isn't.
If you look at the sum total of what I have actually said in this thread I think it's fairly well balanced and not at all personal.

And by the way, just to be clear, the cable I photographed does have the plastic strain relief - I removed it for the photo. And obviously I had pulled back the cable insulation, to reveal the break which you can see is right at the copper tube and covered by the insulation, to prepare it for resoldering.

Nick, I have no doubt you will be very happy with your Super Sound Chords.

Whilst I'm sure we all know who you are referring to Marco, those of us that are the same age as RD might feel tempted to be insulted.

Fortunately, I am not one of them but understand that you young things have a way to go before getting a better perspective on life, the universe and everything

Actually, it's just dawned on me that since a few weeks ago, I'm now nearer seventy than sixty. Nothing to do with posts and thread though, so carry on chaps.

Would it not be sensible and more meaningful to remove your earlier comments from the thread?

While I think it is the correct thing to do to apologise for your earlier uninformed post, you must realise that someone could "google" soundpipes and only read as far as your earlier post thereby gaining a totally false understanding of the product.

Happy now?

[Figlet108]

Well I'm not happy.

As I've clearly pointed out, my 3 posts in this thread have been to the point, balanced, and fair and without any personal comment.
Therefore I would ask that Audioman withdraws post 35 which both insults me personally and makes false accusations against me.
I would also say to Gordon that his post 41 is completely inappropriate and should be removed. Nothing is being aired publicly in this thread and there is no personal comment from me whatever. I have given a balanced view of a product I own and stated that I think it sounds good but breaks easily. I'm certainly not the only one out there with broken SSPs - there's plenty of others.

Thank you.
