Interesting looking turntable. It sounds Italian (I tried to see where it was made but I couldn't find it - could it be Arezzo?) so I'm not surprised it's good

I'll "minor forum" you! It's far from minor in terms of the impact it makes and the amount of activity on it, I can assure you, and it's getting less "minor" each day...

You know my policy regarding auditioning things. It might be different if I was in the market to buy an NVA product, but as I'm more than happy with my valve amp that's not remotely on the menu. It hardly makes sense to buy something just to listen to it. I was just curious to hear what your stuff is like - it increases my 'library' of listening experience, which I then use to make recommendations to people, and of course you have many hundreds of 'Guests' reading the forum every day. No worries

Marco.
