"Up Yours Marco": the title of RD's new rant...

Can i just suggest ' Marco and Richard if you be a little more tollerant of each other's view's or agree to dissagree ' Marco i like the look of your system and your leftfield approach to building a system.

But i also like richard's ideas and approach (phono 2 especially) and he does have 30 years or so in the trade, maybe he does have an agenda ' perhaps years of exposure to the Great Ivor T have taken its toll , be good for this forum if you can somehow patch things up between you.

**Marco** · 06-07-2009, 07:36

I completely agree, Chris, and will do as you ask

Marco.

Why not a bake off then Richard ' ?

Marco's SUT and valve pre vs your Phono 2 or reference phono come on lets finnish this and put it to bed and then have beer

**Marco** · 06-07-2009, 08:37

I'd love that, but it won't happen Chris because Richard is still smarting from yesterday's 'tussle', stubbornly remaining in cloud cuckoo-land and too pig-headed to realise that he was dealt a bloody nose, and so should take it like a man and move on

Thing is, he'll have to move on or he'll be gone... AOS does not exist for the purpose of him ranting at whatever/whoever he dislikes. I do hope that you're listening, Richard!

Marco.

There is a minor problem with this Chris, after seeing the threats of violence and what can only be described as manic behaviour in threads and published PMs on other forums, do I really want a person like this in my house and in the company of my wife. Well the answer is no! I am sure that will mean that dictatorship will be applied and I wont be here anymore, the last resort of any bully if it is in their power, 'cos in the long run that is all it is about - power!

And anyway for me the problem is not about which is best, though it would be a good test and experience that I might suggest as a Bake-Off at Pink Fish. I am happy to accept some people will prefer a SUT, good for them. It will be a synergy thing probably (might even be entirely) due to using valves.

Now I would say even despite the new bottlehead bullshit polluting the industy (note I am talking about the bullshit words, not the product) they still represent well under 30% of the high end analogue systems out there. So to state that a SUT is the *ONLY* way to do it is bizzare to say the least.

The matter ends if he states he was wrong in his post and other people do it other ways, but that his preference is...... that would be normal behaviour, and that is all I have done.

**Marco** · 06-07-2009, 09:12

More blinkered nonsense without being in possession of all the facts.

The matter ends if he states... {Blah, blah}.

No, the matter ends when I decide the forum has had enough of your self-preening agendas and tunnel vison way of looking at things, so raise your game and start contributing constructively. We've all heard what your 'issues' are and are bored of them now. We gave you a chance to 'clear the air', but that's now over.

Richard, you need to learn who makes the rules here and who abides by them. Clue: you occupy the latter role.

Now, if there's anymore of this crap from you it will simply be deleted and the thread locked. I think we can all predict the outcome...

Marco.

EDIT - I forgot, I Should Coco is bringing his SL10 / SME / Audionote Io Ltd (which I call the magic cartridge) to the bake-off at my place next Saturday. We have already had this discussion, he is bringing his SUTs and I am providing an MM Phono2 for him to plug into, plus we will try it direct into the MC Phono2. So this very test is being made, and an Io Ltd is probably the most difficult test of all. It will be very interesting as the Io Ltd is an astonisingly interesting cartridge. BUT I.S.C. is an interesting character who I look forward to meeting as he is now playing with old Japanese 4 channel strain gauge cartridges - a real anorack after my own heart - and he uses valves (lol)

So I recommend members here to go to the two bake-off thread at PF over the next two weeks, it will surely be very enlightening.

**chris@panteg** · 06-07-2009, 09:42

Yes Richard i will be keeping an eye on that .

The IO ltd is an astonishing thing , silly money but what the hell ' when you think how much the new Radikal and urika cost

**Mr. C** · 07-07-2009, 06:54

That should be interesting day,
Pete is one of the few chaps on any forum that actually knows what he is talking about, it should rewrite Richards philosophy in some small manner.

Thank you for mentioning this. I refused to take part in the shill and then the backlash, dirty tricks, and attempt to damage my name and reputation was unleashed. A pity that many believed and still believe the propaganda and my sales of the TC-7520 got affected, even though it is far superior in price and performance to 'the other DACs' who had no problem no doubt in being generous with free samples etc.

However, Marco did not believe and fall for that nonsense, and in my eyes he is a great guy ...when sober
