Stop acting the arrogant arsehole. I'm well aware of why you're upset and why you think you've been slandered, I'm capable of reading. I was trying to leaven things with a bit of humour, something you might have been able to spot if you had either a sense of humour or a sense of perspective. From this point on you're on my ignore list. People who arrive on a forum and immediately start threatening to sue people for the smallest slight rarely prosper, and rightly so. You're only the second person I've ever felt the desire to ignore.

He's the first ever to go on my ignore list Ian, and I take threats to 'pursue me' as stalking.

I've amended the wording and that's all I'm going to do, aside from selling his cables as I'll have nothing to do with him or his products in future.

Yes, I should have realised some people are a bit slow and would think my idea of getting a judge to decide who had the best system in the universe was serious.

As to people just arriving on the forum ....you should treat them in the same way, as you would expect to be treated in return.

In normal life, if someone debates with me in the way Richard debates in this thread, I either have an argument with them or I ignore them. I may even call them an arrogant arsehole if I think that's how they're acting. So, I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary here.

As to threats to sue, in this case, IMO, when you imply someone is a fraud what do you expect ? That goes for if its there first post or there 10000.

If you directly called me a fraud (and Rob didn't directly call Richard a fraud, although possibly his original wording could be read to imply it) I certainly wouldn't threaten to sue. I doubt most people would. Might be a bit annoyed, but few people are so sensitive as to threaten legal redress for minor fallings-out on a forum. It shows a touchiness and lack of perspective. I would also point out that at the start of this thread both Rob and me were fans of NVA, so perhaps this approach to potential customers isn't likely to be very successful. I know a few very opinionated audio designers who are absolutely certain that their particular way of doing things is the correct way, who make very good sounding equipment, but who are quite capable of debating with others without constantly suggesting that if anyone disagrees it's because they lack imagination or intelligence.

You may or may not know that abusive language is strictly frowned upon on this forum ....IMO your "Arrogant A******" falls squarely into this box......I would suggest that if you are insofficiently eloquent as to be unable to express yourself without resort to such inflamatory language....go post eleswhere.

I think you were trying to say "insufficiently eloquent as to be unable to express yourself without resort to such inflammatory language.... go and post elsewhere". It ill-behoves someone with such poor spelling and grammar to comment on the written eloquence of others. As for telling me to post elsewhere, I'll post where I like.

Its threads like this that make me question why do I read or post on ZeroGain, I've only just returned after several months away after the 'Mana' - the product, the man, the company debate.

Indeed.

This has all become allarmingly stupid.

Therefore:

I completely withdraw my comments regarding Richard Dunn, his products, and anything related to the effects of ferrous objects on his equipment. I respect his opinions on the issue and apologise for any offence to him and anyone else here that my comments might have caused.

I would urge anyone reading to try Richards's products for themselves, safe in the knowledge that they are designed by a true master of his craft.

More information on the product, the philosophy and the man can be found here:

Seems to me as if we could all do with settling down and listening to some music! Of course, Bach's best. (No emoticon necessary.)

Anyone heard any NVA gear?

They sell on eBay and seem very good prices, but not sure what theyre like.. I can only find one review, which doesnt inspire much confidence. There is however a money back guarantee if unhappy...

I've just received a set of LS3 cables configured for bi-amping. They went in this morning, and so far I'm very pleased. They're replacing Chord Legends. There seems more space and delicacy, less "noise", if you know what I mean, and, what I was particularly after, deeper bass. The 5pm radio 4 news is the first listening break I've taken all day!
 
ive had the ap20 then the ap35 and also the pre/power of the time (cant remember the serial numbers). in a word, superb! never a hint of a problem, i mainly used them with royd speakers and the combination kept me happy for years. very open sound with plenty of power from what seems like a small box. the dedicated cables (ls1 and soundpipe) were good too.
if this is the same gear as was being produced in the late 80's up to mid 90's its a fine stable of products indeed and well worth the money. they also used to do a thing where you could upgrade your existing piece of kit for a new one and nva would give you a very good deal on your old stuff (not sure if it was full value?) if your buying one im sure you will like it.

A closed mind, very often takes refuge in abuse.
