Absolutely Andy. I'm still at the preliminary stages of identifying a suitable upgrade from my Rega Fono MC (cartridge is a Goldring Excel GS), to be honest. I like a lot of what I've read about the Phono 1and the fact that I can't buy one at X% off on bloody Black Friday certainly would not put me off buying one in the near future if that's the way I decide to go. As you say, it seems very sensibly priced whatever, but this will enable me to do a bit more reading up and maybe seeing if i can get a loan unit to try first too. Only joined HFS last night and am enjoying it, but it does look like there's a few more posts that would be worth catching up on!Andy-831 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 22, 2017 9:32 amThat is pretty much my stance too Berty LOL that extra little sweetener would have resulted in an immediate order. I have heard the Phono 1 and 2 and confirm they are both fabulous pieces of equipment at sensible money, and the Phono 2 + extra power supply will be in my system fairly soon anyway (at whatever price point .......it was that good in my opinion,) but the Black Friday ethos is that the little sweetner just brings in a few extra orders, but like Doc says if he has not got the cases available then its a none starter which is fair enough.Berty bass wrote: ↑Tue Nov 21, 2017 11:27 pmDamn, just as I came across NVA in my googling for the first time today and was preparing to pull the trigger on a Phono 1 too. Just have to pay full price in due course instead, I guess.Dr Bunsen Honeydew wrote: ↑Tue Nov 21, 2017 9:56 am Listings at ebay. I am short of cases on phono stages so I don't think they are part of it.

Re: Black Friday
I too am fairly new here Berty, it seems a friendly place, already been to a Bake off which was an interesting day out too.
I will drop you a PM rather than crapping on the Black Friday thread

Re: Black Friday
Blimey, not sure I was expecting 30% off... Guess you might be rather busy in the next few weeks!
I bought some interconnects on Sunday (just some SC & SSC), which were sent on Tuesday. Have just pulled the trigger on a BMU!

Re: Black Friday
Dive in, Black Friday is here, discounts valid until 4am GMT tomorrow morning. Yes I will be busy but I wanted to kick start new customers and so far (having got up to check the cricket score) over £2k of orders, and new customers. Good start.
For me the problem has always been to get the new customers in the first place, once they have some NVA it means they are mine and as I keep saying I am not in this to slurp or rip anyone off, believe it or not I am here to make good music and happy NVA customers. Hopefully we will have lots of new ones by the end of the promotion.
We will see how big the order list is by the end of the promo and I will let you know how it has gone, and yes you will have to be patient over delivery.
OBVIOUSLY no trade in against this stuff in the promo, cash only.

Re: Black Friday
A question Doc. Is LS6 the top model in the speaker cable range or is there a statement model (LS7) ?

Re: Black Friday
Buy it all while it is cheap, if unhappy send back for refund.
