A few months ago he thought that the NVA Phono 2 w/ 2nd psu, was the best value for money possible. Now he is promoting other phono stages and organising bake-offs to exclude NVA.

Unreliable.
Probably been got at by Marco and Firebottle. His latest praise of ZYX in a Lenco arm smells of an incompatibility issue and frankly lacks credibility.

Here is an example for anyone who needs to see it. From my #1 false guru, first post i look at

Ah ok, gotcha now

Something to work on then, perhaps? However, it's not only the KIN's MC input which is 'challenged' in that way, in the face of a good head amp or SUT, used in conjunction with the accompanying MM input of the same phono stage, but pretty much EVERY standalone MC phono stage I've heard or tried to date.

Therefore, for me, something intrinsic/fundamental is going on, allowing the combination of MM stage+SUT (or head amp), when all else is equal, to 'ace' a standalone MC stage.

Marco.

********************************************************************
The arse should have come to Huddersfield bake-off then he would have seen how wrong he is. Where *THREE* stand alone phono stages pissed on the Firebottle. And people will read him and think he knows what he is talking about. He really needs to cure his stupidity by getting to listen to better product than what he owns, trouble is his ego will not allow him to consider he may have been wrong for all these years - that is the basis of the disease, be it flat earth Linn / Naim or valves or a self centred egotists like Marco who EVERYTHING HE DOES be it cars hi-fi or food is soooooo superior to everyone else - which is why he needs to own a forum.

Any votes for Wigwam or TAS knob heads. Though AoS and PFM seem to have largely cornered the market.

Two choices from me:

Pinky - with the help of a “friend” tries to be an electrical guru
Stratmangler - The flouncing, 35 years as a telecom engineer with BT who thinks he’s a technology guru but who never gives a straight answer and speaks continually in riddles
"Nobody flounces better, makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody flounces half as good as you, BigBottyFlouncy, you're the best"
