NVA interconnects

PS, just had a peep at their forum, boy oh boy, they don't like us there do they!

I don't bother visiting 'the other place', sounds like it might be a good idea if others considered doing the same.

Presumably their members are watching this site closely and reporting back, all a bit daft really.

Instead, let me give you a real example of people cutting off their nose to spite their face: after falling out with RD and despite everything, I said publicly that I would still support his TFS. However, even though we all know how much he liked it, with plenty of public statements in plenty of threads, he still sold it. And he made a big public spectacle of it too along with plenty of insults and abuse.

And what really takes the biscuit Andrew is that not a few short months before he (and the rest of his Hate Mafia) RIPPED BEV APART FOR DOING EXACTLY THE SAME THING.

Breathtaking hypocrisy...

<Slam dunk>

Do you think that they (RD and his cronies) won't accept this because they're blinkered, deluded or just plain dumb (or a mixture of all three)??

No need to answer. It's a rhetorical question

Marco.

I'm not a cronie of RD, I do use HFS, AOS, PFM and Wigwam from time to time.

At times I've found each to have it's strengths and weaknesses, I'm never going to be a 1k+ forum poster or a moderator. I just find it so sad that adults including myself are reading this dross and that some people make it personal...bringing family into things isn't on.

Ladies and gents this is a forum so how about some etiquette and we bring it back to a place for friendly and useful discussion.

I found these points on a forum recently, might be worth reading...

• No 'flaming' - in other words, avoid personal attacks, pettiness, abuse. Respect other users, and if you disagree with them, explain why.
• No 'trolling' - trolls are posts deliberately designed to provoke an angry response. That doesn't mean you can't be controversial, if you really mean it.
• No personal disputes - if it gets personal, take it offline.
• Don't be patronising or sarcastic. It comes across about ten times worse online.
• Avoid typing in ALL CAPS, which is considered shouting or yelling.
• Learn to let go - don't keep harping on about the same thing, or harking back to previous arguments. It is rarely productive, and you always end up going round in circles.
• If someone else's post offends you, don't fight back online. It can be easy to sound rude without meaning to, especially if English is not your native language. However, if you really are troubled by the post, don't respond - take it to your lecturer instead.
• Post in the most appropriate forum (and only in one forum).
• Stay on topic - try to focus on the original topic. In particular, don't change subject in the middle of an existing thread - just start a new topic.

I think this thread is way past it's best use. We're a long way from Martin's first post since it was re-opened today.

[Marco]

I agree. However, I'd like to say how Jason has handled himself (and the difficult situation he's in) admirably, and I'd like to thank him for that

Ok, I fancy an early night, so has anyone else got something worthwhile to say on this subject before I get the keys out and do the necessary?

More than watching, quite a few are participating.

There seem to be double standards here when people cry foul at a picture posted of a broken cable by a certain maker and yet make the same claim about their experience with another manufacturers cables, without providing any evidence.

Hi Jason. Despite saying my comments aren't true, I think you actually seem to agree with me in your references to the thread becoming an abomination.

Andrew, your comments that I disagree with are the ones I quoted. That this thread is an abomination is beyond any decent person's doubt, and my point in that post has since been nicely amplified by Craig's story. The negative forces that I refer to as having turned this thread abominable are the same forces that can't abide the slightest criticism of NVA products that Craig refers to. And the stories starting to come out of the woodwork now also reflect abominable behaviour - regardless of how typical or common it is. That it happens just once is inexcusable and indefensible.

As far as I know, you still use NVA gear extensively but some here wouldn't use his products however good they sounded and have said so. I just can't see the logic in that. I recognise the fact that you have praised the sound and in that you've been consistent.

Well, ask your pal RD, since he's done similar he may be able to shed some light - although I suspect the word hate features in the explanation.

One thing that did still puzzle me though (and this might be my memory, so please correct me if I'm wrong) but didn't you say that using Profi plugs as standard would have solved any breakage issues on SSP? It was around the time of the issues on HFS and I honestly can't remember if it was before or after (and I've not looked for it).
I thought you'd pushed for it to be done this way just before leaving. Like I said, my memory isn't 100 percent.

No, I'm pretty sure I did say something like that. My view from first owning SSP and before ever meeting RD was that the connector used and the method of construction was not fit for purpose for such a stiff cable. I think the post you are thinking of was when I posted a picture of the connectors used by Blue Jean Cable and saying that it wasn't rocket science and why not use a connector like theirs because it twists freely separate from the cable and thus would prevent a user from twisting and breaking the cable. Anyway, it'll be there on the forum if you look for it (unless all my posts have been deleted which is also possible)

Marco, I strongly suggest that this thread is now closed, otherwise I might start talking about Applemarc's TDS.
It's time to move on.

[Ninanina]
