    Will miss Roys Micro adjustments .Speakers half inch either way .I think he just got tangled up in all that flat cable probably stopped him coming out. At six grand a meter he can
    afford to stop home.

    Just picture the breakfast scene...

    One look at the lovingly crafted cardboard with immaculately finished graphics was enough to tell me that these were going to be a serious bowl of corn flakes.
    Of course before we could really nail down the taste spectrum, there were key requirements, fresh milk at a temperature of 3.5 degrees, enabled using the supplied and beautifully crafted gnurled aluminium precision thermometer. The bowl was manufacturer from laser cut carbon fibre, chosen after repeated tasting sessions against a variety of other materials. The structure of the fibre is inlaid with wavelets to damp the milk waves created by spooning action...

    At a mere £5000 a box, the cornflakes are actually something of a bargain.

    The guy Mr G most reminds me of, is Tony Dyslexia, he of Incoherent Systems, Inc.

    Me: "Are you a dealer?"

    He: "No, no..."

    True to form Mr Bub

    ...let the bunfight begin! :D


    Mr Sukebe - your posts a blinder! tee hee.

    Do you think he'd use Nordost bitesize under the bowl as additional isolation, coming in at only £200 per rusk, the blurring between flakes and milk was noticeably reduced.

    Seriously though, if he's not allowed to mention Nordost in his reviews, surely its business as usual. This won't affect my buying of Hifi Plush in any way, as I like the candy too much!.

    Not very profitable to bite the hand that feeds them with the money pages... even if said advertisements are full of twaddle, and they aren't very likely to be stung in a review without some prior agreement waiting in the wings with a cure.

    it's not about altruism.

    For a while, I did subscribe to Hi-Fi+, and enjoyed reading some of the reviews. Unfortunately, I really did get sick of the hyperbole drivel that was being written by RG. Shame really as it undermined what I considered to be about the best mag out there.

    I see James Mc P is taking my name in vein again lol!
    Still the same old forum hardened ex naime, atc loving bass lite 28 levels of angle iron gent as always.
    However that being said underneath he is a quite a decent chap (really) please allow him his minor moments of mirth and attempted levity, its only fair given his previous afflictions.
    Though it won't be long now before a Kondo-dois outbreak happens to you James

    Nothing "previous" about my afflictions, Tony. Still the bass light ATC 100As, with Naim & SME.

    I notice no denial, though! Very wise, sir.

    This is literally what I have just done - in 3 steps.

    1) I went to the Nordost site

    2) I clicked ''reviews''

    3) I looked at the reviews, no alteration or anything

    http://www.nordost.com/reviews.asp

    Anyone notice, ooooh just anything at all, any possible ...shall we say......... "common factor'' to the reviews?

    I find his prose painful to read. The reviews all use exactly the same formula. Superlatives piled upon, one another. Signifying. Nothing. Fake scepticism. Followed by. Poor punctuation, and. Miraculous revelation. All coloured purple.

    The whole thing as convincing as the American TV evangelist. It's gratifying to see any credibility completely gone now, with his move to the North East.
