    Bev, I think I posted one comment followed by that smiley. It was followed by a line saying "no offence intended". You took offence and I apologised. You asked me not to say anything about your PM and I didn't.

    I've never met RD. The last time I spoke to him was by phone in 1992 I think. Between 1992 and 2012 I've owned used amps 3 times and only once emailed him about recapping which he helped with info for. Recently I got back into NVA kit and am pleased with the results.

    What about your motives here

    Remember the thread where you were quoted as saying that you wanted to hit RD where it hurts? I think that was your sale of SP

    Latest from the 'master artisan':

    "I never want to have any further contact with Jason in any shape or form. A lot of the circumstances have not been made public, but I for one would not allow him to stay in my presence and my wife would go in the kitchen get a knife and happily cut his throat and accept the consequences she hates him so much for what he has done to our life."


    Is it just me or does Richard seem a little agitated? I guess that handing back Jason's £10k had a profound effect on any scheduled house upgrading, chez-Dunn!

    That was the smiley I referred to. It's one of the ones on there. Check the post if you like. I did say no offence intended straight after it. It obviously really upset you so I apologised.

    So what difference did all the shielding make?

    Out of interest, and since we're back to talking about cable again, I did an experiment of building a triple-shielded SSP:



    Obviously the shielded one is on the left...
    All the shielding and shrink-wrap makes for a very robust cable and eliminates EMI and RFI to boot. Just a bit of a PITA to build... (well for me anyway - I'm sure a pro would have no problems)

    Exactly Fidget

    All RD's 'little men' are all the same

    I've known these 'little men' in my work life, and I have no requirement to associate with them in my private life... they are all 'sad little monkeys'

    I also explained at some length why I was critical of you. If you don't want to accept an apology for upsetting you, that is your choice. As I said, it wouldn't stop me being critical of you or anyone else in future. I don't hide my identity on both forums so people are free to read, comment and think what they like.

    James, in my particular case it made a big difference because unfortunately I have a noisy environment regarding EMI/RFI.
    For example, after I made just one cable I plugged the shielded one on one side and a stock SSP on the other channel.

    I then created the noisiest environment I could by turning on the plasma and the dimmer lights etc and turning up the volume to full (without music).
    The difference between the hissing on the stock SSP side compared to the shielded side was *massive*. And at normal, even loud listening levels there was no audible hiss on the shielded side at all compared to noticable hiss on the stock side.

    The shielded set had the effect *in my system* to reduce the noise floor and make a nice improvement to the overall sound.
    As I said they were a pain to build, to the point that I plan to do all my SSPs the same and haven't bothered yet!
