Hi Paul,
No problem at all
You've expressed yourself eloquently and courteously. I am in no position to debate the technical aspects of the points you've raised. However, you are completely free to defend the design methodology of your products, just as Dave is with his.
As long as any ensuing discussion between you remains polite and non-aggressive, it will be allowed to run.
Marco.

Wow! What is on my website should not be of concern to the moderators here. What is on my website is in my professional opinion, honest and true. It isn't my ambition to teach power supply design here. This simply isn't the right place for any of this.

This forum and your website are both in the public domain, Dave.
As long as everything is kept professional and polite, then you are both free to express your opinions here. It could be of interest to many 'viewers'.
Regards,
Mike.

Actually Dave, you have made comments on this forum thread regarding the power supply in question and therefore I consider it my right to discuss the issue on the thread.
What you have stated about my power supply on your website is entirely erroneous and you are obliged to substantiate your statements instead of fabricating them. Your professional reputation is at stake here so I would suggest you think very carefully about what you say next. If you cannot be bothered to justify your statements I rest my case.

In the sober light of the morning, I have reviewed this thread and my own website. I see no problem or inconstancies. Our power supply has been professionally designed for it's purpose and specifically for the demanding use of the Technics Direct Drive. We were the first to correctly understand the original internal regulator and the first and maybe the only people to dynamically measure the deck with it's new power supply.
Sound Hi Fi and Timestep are committed to the continued improvement of the SL1200 as witnessed by the Tone Audio review, click here to see it, and the Hi Fi World August 2009 review.
Our new bearing is undergoing test right now, our 78rpm modification has been available for a while now, and we have another couple of even more radical modifications coming soon! Put simply, we are adopting a holistic approach where each modification is designed to compliment the other. In a nutshell, not all of our future modifications will work with third party power supplies.

Dave,
I am not concerned about your credentials or your commitment to improving the performance of the Technics deck.
I am concerned that people are linking your un-substantiated comments on your website, about one of my power supplies, with discussions on this forum thread, that are relative to the use of my power supply with the Technics deck. You give me no choice but to challenge you.
Instead of answering my concerns in a professional manner you have avoided the issue and moved your reply directly to self-promotion.
As you have no personal experience of my power supply when used with the Technics deck you are not qualified to make such comments as you have done on your website.
I am easily satisfied. Either stop avoiding the issue and substantiate the comments in question or remove them from your website. Then we can both go about our business without any further conflict.
Regards
Paul

Guys,
Could one of you copy and paste the (objectionable) comments here which are under discussion?
It will enable me to form an opinion of my own and save me from trawling through Dave's website.
Thanks in advance!
Marco.

Marco, I believe Paul has already shown it in his earlier post?
