Am I the only one who gets the point !
Its a comparison of which amplifer sounds best based upon how much a purchaser would need to part with thier hard earned dosh to own one . It is totally , utterrly and bloody irrelevant to the competition as to how the price is constituted , its not bloody fair trade coffee , its 2 new ampliifers from English Manufacturers .
If the NVA sounds better it is bloody useless, pointless and stupid to argue well the rega's price is determined by all these overheads and middleman expenses so it should really only sound like a £250 direct selling amp .
I repeat , it is a comparison of similar priced amplifiers , how the price is arrived at is irrelevant to the comparison .
ps- welcome back ashore Jammy .
